How does the present Kisan movement in Punjab, against new Farm Laws, measure up to previous historical lessons?

As far as goal or objectives are concerned, this movement has largely been consistent and limited in its approach. Its main demand has been: repeal the three Farm Acts and guarantee MSP. However, as the centre continues to be obdurate, and everything pointing towards a long-drawn struggle, pressure to widen the scope of the struggle around federalism and state autonomy is also mounting from various quarters.

Tactically the movement has been non-violent, innovative and flexible. The movement has largely remained non-violent since in its inception from mid-September.

Apart from conventional Dharnas, Rail Rokos and Sadak Rokos, the movement has also innovated this time by opening up toll plazas, burning effigies of Modi and Adani/Ambanis on Dusshera, and by gheraoing Malls and Silos owned by corporates. When the Centre stopped goods trains in an attempt at the economic blockade of the state, the farmers were quick to clear the tracks.
