&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;BJP wants to turn farmers into daily wage workers in the corporate sector, says the author of the report that analyses the economic status of farmers who died during the ongoing protests.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;On 26 November 2020, waves upon waves of farmers descended upon India&amp;rsquo;s Capital. Barricaded from entering Delhi, they pitched tents at three border crossings on the outskirts of the city. They have resolutely stayed there since then, braving the wintry chill of last year, the scorching summer of this year, and overcoming their fear of the Covid-19 pandemic. They have cooked and eaten together. They have mourned those who died during the protest. They have nixed successive plans of the Union government to evict them. They have been, quite inspiringly, joined by women. They have braved police lathis, impressing all with their non-violent, or passive, resistance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Intimidation was just one of the two deadly weapons in the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s arsenal. The other was to tarnish the image of protesting farmers. They were called Khalistanis. Nobody took that charge seriously. But, even more significantly, the Modi government, backed by experts and a segment of the media, crafted a narrative that the protest movement is mainly of, by and for big and prosperous farmers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Modi government&amp;rsquo;s narrative has been statistically proved false by Lakhwinder Singh and Baldev Singh Shergill. They collected data on the farmers who died while protesting. Believe it or not, they found that marginal and small farmers are those who constitute the dead.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Newsclick reached out to Lakhwinder Singh, Professor Emeritus, Department of Economics, Khalsa College, Patiala, to discuss the study he and Shergill undertook. Singh explains what their data suggest, the emergence of inter-class alliances in rural India, and why the protest movement has become a battle for their very survival.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* In the joint study, you and Baldev Singh Shergill undertook, &amp;ldquo;Separating Wheat from the Chaff: Farm Laws, Farmers&amp;rsquo; Protest and Outcomes&amp;rdquo;, there is a rich vein of data on farmers who died during the ongoing protest movement. How did you all collect the data?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;We have been following farmers&amp;rsquo; protest ever since they began to amass on the outskirts of New Delhi on 26 November 2020. After a month or so, we read media reports on the death of some protestors. From these reports, we gathered the names of the deceased and the villages to which they belonged. We secured their telephone numbers, talked to their families, and gathered details such as their age and the size of their landholdings.&lt;/p&gt;

Barricaded from entering Delhi, they pitched tents at three border crossings on the outskirts of the city. They have resolutely stayed there since then, braving the wintry chill of last year, the scorching summer of this year, and overcoming their fear of the Covid-19 pandemic. They have cooked and eaten together. They have mourned those who died during the protest. They have nixed successive plans of the Union government to evict them. They have been, quite inspiringly, joined by women. They have braved police lathis, impressing all with their non-violent, or passive, resistance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Intimidation was just one of the two deadly weapons in the Modi government&amp;rsquo;s arsenal. The other was to tarnish the image of protesting farmers. They were called Khalistanis. Nobody took that charge seriously. But, even more significantly, the Modi government, backed by experts and a segment of the media, crafted a narrative that the protest movement is mainly of, by and for big and prosperous farmers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Modi government&amp;rsquo;s narrative has been statistically proved false by Lakhwinder Singh and Baldev Singh Shergill. They collected data on the farmers who died while protesting. Believe it or not, they found that marginal and small farmers are those who constitute the dead.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Newsclick reached out to Lakhwinder Singh, Professor Emeritus, Department of Economics, Khalsa College, Patiala, to discuss the study he and Shergill undertook. Singh explains what their data suggest, the emergence of inter-class alliances in rural India, and why the protest movement has become a battle for their very survival.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;* In the joint study, you and Baldev Singh Shergill undertook, &amp;ldquo;Separating Wheat from the Chaff: Farm Laws, Farmers&amp;rsquo; Protest and Outcomes&amp;rdquo;, there is a rich vein of data on farmers who died during the ongoing protest movement. How did you all collect the data?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;We have been following farmers&amp;rsquo; protest ever since they began to amass on the outskirts of New Delhi on 26 November 2020. After a month or so, we read media reports on the death of some protestors. From these reports, we gathered the names of the deceased and the villages to which they belonged. We secured their telephone numbers, talked to their families, and gathered details such as their age and the size of their landholdings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Modi government&amp;rsquo;s narrative has been statistically proved false by Lakhwinder Singh and Baldev Singh Shergill. They collected data on the farmers who died while protesting. Believe it or not, they found that marginal and small farmers are those who constitute the dead.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Newsclick reached out to Lakhwinder Singh, Professor Emeritus, Department of Economics, Khalsa College, Patiala, to discuss the study he and Shergill undertook.

Modi is Wrong: Death Data Shows Protest Not of Big Farmers—Economist Lakhwinder Singh -Ajaz Ashraf

-Newsclick.in BJP wants to turn farmers into daily wage workers in the corporate sector, says the author of the report that analyses the economic status of farmers who died during the ongoing protests. On 26 November 2020, waves upon waves of farmers descended upon India’s Capital. Barricaded from entering Delhi, they pitched tents at three border crossings on the outskirts of the city. They have resolutely stayed there since then, braving the wintry chill of last year, the scorching summer of this year, and overcoming their fear of the Covid-19 pandemic. They have cooked and eaten together. They have mourned those who died during the protest. They have nixed successive plans of the Union government to evict them. They have been, quite inspiringly, joined by women. They have braved police lathis, impressing all with their non-violent, or passive, resistance. Intimidation was just one of the two deadly weapons in the Modi government’s arsenal. The other was to tarnish the image of protesting farmers. They were called Khalistanis. Nobody took that charge seriously. But, even more significantly, the Modi government, backed by experts and a segment of the media, crafted a narrative that the protest movement is mainly of, by and for big and prosperous farmers. The Modi government’s narrative has been statistically proved false by Lakhwinder Singh and Baldev Singh Shergill. They collected data on the farmers who died while protesting. Believe it or not, they found that marginal and small farmers are those who constitute the dead. Newsclick reached out to Lakhwinder Singh, Professor Emeritus, Department of Economics, Khalsa College, Patiala, to discuss the study he and Shergill undertook. Singh explains what their data suggest, the emergence of inter-class alliances in rural India, and why the protest movement has become a battle for their very survival. * In the joint study, you and Baldev Singh Shergill undertook, “Separating Wheat from the Chaff: Farm Laws, Farmers’ Protest and Outcomes”, there is a rich vein of data on farmers who died during the ongoing protest movement. How did you all collect the data? We have been following farmers’ protest ever since they began to amass on the outskirts of New Delhi on 26 November 2020. After a month or so, we read media reports on the death of some protestors. From these reports, we gathered the names of the deceased and the villages to which they belonged. We secured their telephone numbers, talked to their families, and gathered details such as their age and the size of their landholdings. Please click here to read more.
