While the farmers’ movement used the political threat of working against BJP in the coming elections, it also resorted to direct action, which is an extreme rarity under neo-liberalism.

Particular battles often have a significance that goes beyond the immediate context, of which even the combatants may not be fully aware at the time. One such was the Battle of Plassey, which was not even a battle since one side's general had already been bribed by the other not to lead his troops against it, and yet what happened in the woods of Plassey that day ushered in a whole new epoch in world history.

The battle between the Kisan movement and the Modi government falls into the same genre. At the most obvious level, it has been seen as a climbdown by the Modi government in the face of the incredible resoluteness shown by the agitating peasants. At another level, it has also been seen as a setback for neoliberalism, since corporate ascendancy over the agricultural sector, by making peasant agriculture subservient to the corporates, is a crucial part of the neo-liberal agenda farm laws were seeking to promote.

Both these perceptions are absolutely correct. But beyond them, there is a third level, at which the Kisan victory is of great significance, that has not received much attention. This relates to the fact that the Kisan victory is a setback for imperialism in a very fundamental sense. Therefore, one should scarcely be surprised by the fact that the western media have been so critical of the Modi government for its climbdown.
