The 7 Factors That Make the Current Farmers Struggle Historic

The 7 Factors That Make the Current Farmers Struggle Historic No class divide The unprecedented Kisan struggle that began on November 26, 2020, has been the largest, the longest and the most powerful nationwide farmers’ struggle in the history of Independent India.

The Supreme Court has asked the Centre to put on hold the new farm laws and address the issues raised by the farmers before actively operationalising them.

The role of the Central government in balancing these two needs is challenging, especially with agriculture being a State subject.
