So sometimes the courts are corrupt and dancing to the tune of the industrialist or it’s the beacon of justice, when convenient? Sometimes in the same argument?

So sometimes the courts are corrupt and dancing to the tune of the industrialist or it’s the beacon of justice, when convenient? Sometimes in the same argument? I do agree though that clause was asinine.
Even if reliance gets to benefit, is the farmer being harmed for it? Poor farmer has a lot to gain from this bill. They get supply of funds right from by muting seeds and fertilisers to having assured income. Just paint the “industrialist” as the monster and destroy away?
What exactly are the demands of this protest? They seem to have changed a lot from the start. What about protesting when something actually has gone wrong and you can actually point to a loss?

Do you miss out on the huge number of HN discussions talking about the damaging effects of monopolization by BigTech players? Now imagine if you're a farmer who can only sell to 1 of 2 conglomerates, both led by big shot industrialists with ties to the govt (which will also run the arbitration tribunal). So much "free market" right?
- eklavya 6y agoSo you sell in the old mandi system? Which had the monopoly until now.
- rishav_sharan 6y agoHow does a "system" get a monopoly? Genuinely asking as I didn't understand your point. A mandi, from what I understand is a large market of traders.

- rishav_sharan 6y agoThanks. Much appreciated.
- fakedang 6y agoThe mandi system is a monopoly in the markets space, where buyers and sellers have only one place to do commerce. Ambani, Tata and Adani would be a monopoly in the buyers space. Big difference.
- davchana 6y agoMandi is a designated physical space, market, where any buyer & seller can transact; & government mandi officials will record & observe all transactions for data logging, & to keep the issues away. Nobody has monopoly, anybody can come & buy. Think of it as a kind of transaction between a craigslist buyer & seller at local police station. If buyer & seller trust each other, like between my family & farmers in out village, we used to buy the produce directly from their home.
