It is the first significant reverse suffered by the government, which is promoting neoliberalism at breakneck speed.

The announcement of the repeal of the three farm laws almost a year after farmers launched a massive movement against the Narendra Modi government’s contentious decision in which 671 protesters lost their lives is a setback to the neoliberal move, which intended to further corporate encroachment in agriculture.

The organisations leading the struggle have argued that their protest will continue till the laws are legally repealed and also reiterated their demands for a legal guarantee for minimum support price and issues concerning electricity and seed bills remain relevant.

The reiteration is relevant since these laws involve an attempt to promote corporate encroachment in agriculture by accelerating the squeeze on farmers both from the side of demand and cost. The squeeze has had a deleterious impact on the viability of agriculture, wages, employment and working conditions of workers and the very existence of the public distribution system.

Those who ignore this dimension of corporate invasion mistakenly claim that the struggle against the laws involves only the interests of the rural elite. This mistaken view is further contradicted by a recent study on the lives lost in the struggle at Delhi borders during the struggle by Lakhwinder Singh and Baldev Singh Shergill. They point out that most of the participants in the struggle are small farmers. Their study indicates that the average landholding of farmers who were killed is merely three acres once leased land is taken into account.
