The agrarian laws might have been repealed but are we any wiser about what it was that the farmers were so against, what reforms they could do with instead of the ones thrust upon them?

Even in retreat over the farm laws, the Modi government adopted the same top-down approach it employed while bringing them in in May 2020. Pleasantly surprised as they were by the Prime Minister’s unexpected announcement, the farmers were the first to ask when was it that the Cabinet decided to repeal these laws, thus once again giving the nation a refresher course of basic school-level civics. And, when the government stonewalled all attempts by the Opposition to discuss the repeal bill in both houses of Parliament, the farmers’ disappointment was palpable. As far as they were concerned, the ruling dispensation had once again robbed them of an opportunity wherein the agrarian crisis could be discussed threadbare in the central legislature.

A debate in Parliament — as they saw it — would have helped bust some of the myths propagated against them over the past year — primarily, that they are anti-reform. And this when by the government’s own admission several states had carried out reforms as per the model Agricultural Produce and Market Committee (APMC) Act of 2003.
