Pagri Sambhal Jatta - Farmers Integrate History Into Their Movement Take care of your turban farmer,
As the farmers expand their reach across the states, in Punjab smaller movements raising consciousness about the agrarian history of India are being dovetailed into the larger movement. As a result issues have expanded as well, from the repeal of the three farm laws to anti people policies of governments. History and personalities are also being celebrated by the farmers in more ways than one.
Women groups in the state have started making their presence felt by calling for an equal status for women in society, and speaking out against the patriarchal mindset that targets women.
