Majority of farmers. India’s govt has backed and supported small farmers for decades. Also agriculture is like 80% of jobs for ppl in India, unlike the US. Farmers protested for ~1 year and prime minister Modi heard their concerns and repealed the new laws. This vox report is a summary https://youtu.be/iHpZV7ro7lU https://youtu.be/iHpZV7ro7lU
- maccolgan 5y ago>Majority of farmers Statistically people from 1-3 states can't represent the majority of farmers. >supported small farmers for decades I guess they therefore can't ever stop subsidizing them, homerun for the economy. >agriculture is like 80% of jobs for ppl in India What? (Also, it produces almost no value in exchange for the subsidies, it's barely 15% of the GDP IIRC)
