Have not read the article, but the title is a total lie.
Corporate giants like Ambani, Adani wants to lease/buy vast tracts of land (1000+ acres,) & grow single crops on them, on giant industrial scale for pure profit (profit seeking is not bad in general).
As a largest populated country in world, +75% farmers do not own more than 10 acres, with around hslf of them own less than 5 acres. Every generation the land gets divided into 2-5 parts, one part per son (& sons in law in some cases).
Modi government new three laws enable the corporation greed. Simple majority in a village can opt for leasing in the land to corporation. Other half has to agree.
No farmer can go to any court, can just go to District Commissioner at most for any grievance/problems.
Corporation can store as much grains, food as they want in new law. Current laws prohibit that to stop artificial increase in food prices.
New laws allow corporation to set any market price of crops. Current laws make sure minimum support price. Imagine if there is no minimum wage law in US, Corporation like Walmart, Amazon will still be paying $11 to its workers?
The protest is from Farmers (not only Jatts) in Delhi, supported by many others from Orisa, Tamil, Bihar, Bangal, MP, Maharashtra & others.
Same laws were implemented in Bihaar in 2006 (by different party), & now Bihar is in complete grip of corporate farms.
