245 _aState versus peasants: Explaining the 2020/21 farmers’ agitation in the context of the agrarian crisis
260 _aEconomic & Political Weekly
300 _a59(42), Oct, 19, 2024: p.43-50
520 _aUsing a political-economy perspective and through a critical analysis, the article attempts to understand the true nature of the (repealed) farm laws and the agitation besides drawing implications for addressing the extant crisis. The government’s measure appeared desperate given its neo-liberal compulsions, and the proclaimed strategy of resolving the crisis through institutional reforms. As predicted in the theoretical framework, while the disjuncture with social realities undid the farm laws, the attempted broadening of the class orientation aided the farmers’ agitation. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/42/perspectives/state-versus-peasants.html
