A prespective on the ongoing farmer's protest
Are my real farmer brothers on the streets? No!
Why and by-whom are these protests: The "commissions" on agricultural goods trade by mandi's (interim wholesale markets) which inturn are bossed by local bigwigs thus throwing out market competetiveness.
Market wise data also shows that the largest gainers of this in government procurement for public distribution is from Punjab and Haryana.. thus few of our Sikh and Jat brothers are upset with the central govt's new laws.
Our Punjabi brothers who are the largest among the protesters on subject have state rule by Congress, a central opposition party, which makes their intentions a no brainer for our understanding.
No wonder that the protest is not widely seen across India; with the other majority of farmers who are spread across the terrains of my nation. They know competetiveness is good for them even if it is by "corporate farming" which inturn benefits both the buyers and the producers instead of traders/stockists.
My biggest fear today is spread of falsehood by even our educated brothers just because they hate the ideology of the "elected" ruling party at center and its leader who is proud of his humble chaiwala origin.
To my brothers with Modi hate as their basic trigger on thought process : Would we be equally upset if any company including the public ones run by "CEO's or equivalent from economically poor upbringings" make their rules favoring its worker class rather than benefit the operational management which runs the day today affairs of the company?!
