The agitating farmers have time and again voiced apprehensions about losing their land. Will the implementation of the Farm Laws enforce such a change?

On December 8, more than 50 lakh people were estimated to have observed a countrywide Bharat Bandh at around 20,000 protest sites, in as many as 22 states in India. The farmers were joined in their agitation by mass organisations, trade bodies, sectoral federations, and about 24 political parties.

A day later, on December 9, farmers’ unions rejected the draft proposal presented by the Central Government listing proposed amendments to some of the provisions of the Farm Laws. Unmoved by obfuscations, the agitating farmers adopted a stern attitude as a precursor to a meeting scheduled for the same day – a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer to their demand of withdrawing the Electricity Bill, 2020, and repealing the three Farm Laws – The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.

Amidst other concerns, a deep-seated fear echoed by the farmers is that their lands will be taken over. In a conversation with NewsClick, Vikram Singh Gill, a former employee of the agriculture department, currently involved in the protests said: “Our parents educated us and married my sisters off just because we had some land. They told us to barter everything but not land, because it is our mother. Now, the corporates want to snatch it from us. We cannot let it happen.”
