With the farm bills, The BJP is not so much conducting an experiment as it is following a predictable agenda of right-wing accumulation by dislocation and obfuscation.

For the last three weeks, thousands of peasants and their supporters have blockaded roads and rails and marched on government buildings in Punjab, Haryana and elsewhere in north India. This is in response to the BJP government's rushed passing of three controversial farm bills designed to liberalise crop procurement, marketing and distribution policies. Despite losing the support of its oldest ally the Akali Dal in parliament, the BJP has refused to make any concessions, while the peasants remain steadfast in their opposition. At stake is not only the popularity of the government but potentially the food supply for over one billion people.

Many commentators have described the agrarian economy as dysfunctional due to years of neglect, mismanagement and entrenched interests. This scope needs to be broadened, to understand it as a legacy of colonialism and the failures of decolonization. Beyond challenging the government’s decision, these protests thereby reveal deeper insights into the tangled history of modern agriculture and the wayward logic of global capital.
