Houston: Demonstrators, mostly from the Sikh community, gathered to protest against several farm laws that change India’s agricultural system.
Sikhs in Houston are calling on the Indian government to end new agriculture laws that they say will cripple already meager profits for farmers in the country’s Punjab region.
On Monday, a few hundred people gathered outside the Indian embassy near Buffalo Bayou to criticize the new rules, which the Indian government passed in September as part of a broader effort to deregulate the nation’s massive agriculture sector.
But farmers many of whom faced economic headwinds even before the Indian economy entered into a recession earlier this year fear that the new policies will allow large companies to bully them into lower prices and, potentially, sales of their farms.
