India's Farmers have taken to the streets. The Delhi Border is filled with hundreds of tractors on one side, and hundreds of police vans and barricades on the other. It looks like a repeat of 2021 is coming! Regardless of what side one takes in this protests, it is extremely important to know - why the farmers in India face a perpetual existential crisis? What is it that forces them and thr government into frequent conflict with one another? It is not enough to merely look into their temporary demands like a legal guarantee of MSP or the reforms in Mandi system. The problems of these farmers run much deeper - it has a social and historical character, and is connected with the very origins of India's peasant class & coloniality. Its a social contradiction at the heart of the issue, intricately woven with the history of agriculture in India. Read my article to know more:

#Indianmuslims Indian Muslims are continuously persecuted by the Indian #government and #police. The harsh reality is that rights and privileges are often reserved exclusively for #Hindus, while #Muslims and #Sikhs are marginalized and denied equal treatment. This reflects the deep-seated #injustice faced by #religiousminorities in India. In India, the government and police have demolished 16 homes of #poorMuslims under the pretext that they consumed beef, highlighting the increasing discrimination and targeting of minority #communities. this is the #Darkreality of #India

THESE ARE THE FARMERS OF OUR COUNTRY, NOT A TERRORIST. Farmers, the backbone of our nation, toil tirelessly sustenance for every citizen. Their unwavering dedication ensures that our plates are filled with nourishing food. But the Modi government called the central government of our country is trying to stop these farmers from protesting for their rights of MSP(Minimum Support Price) for 23 crops which were also selected by the central government. According to the government they have no funds for providing MSP to the 23 crops which were selected. I would like to ask Modi Jii if you have funds for your suits of ₹2 Crore every day then why don't you have funds for the poor farmers'crops, you have funds for clearing the big loan amounts for your big businessman friends but you don't have funds for the MSP. WOW!!! This is amazing. The conversation does not end here. To stop the farmers coming from the state of Punjab and Haryana the central government sealed the borders of Delhi like they sealed the borders of India and Pakistan. I would like to say that they are farmers of our country,not the terrorists, and the citizens of our country have the Right to protest under the Indian constitution. The government used tier gas shields, big barricades, and the use of cement barricades in seven layers to stop the farmers from entering the capital of India. This is such a shameful thing which the central government is doing. #farmers #farmersprotest2024

AuDHD modern day philosopher, writer and editor, non binary, trying to find my place in a world where I’m not “enough” anything to really belong
The terrifying part to me is I understand starvation. To any tempted to be dismissive, to compare the numbers starved vs those who died to bombing, to think perhaps we have time? Understand how terrifyingly fast late stage malnutrition and starvation are. The early stages are slow. But once a threshold is reached, it becomes hours and even minutes vs days and weeks. In children, this is even faster. If six have already died, so many, many, unthinkable numbers more are near death. Their bodies don’t know they should stop trying to grow. Absent of the nutrients needed, the body consumes itself in the attempt to continue growing. The attempt to continue life is what accelerates death. I was thirteen. Most of these children are far younger. Beyond the obvious, we will see the consequences of this for generations to come. And that is if it ends now, today. Each day it goes longer, the greater the long term consequences. For every child and for the world.

The article, written by Devinder Sharma addresses the ongoing farmers' protests in Punjab, India. It highlights the significant resistance from farmers, especially during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Patiala. The farmers have been consistently demonstrating against the government, demanding better policies and protection for their interests. Sharma draws parallels to recent European protests where 24 out of 27 EU nations saw unprecedented demonstrations by farmers, emphasizing the global nature of agricultural discontent. He contrasts the proactive measures taken by European governments to address farmers' issues with the Indian government's handling of similar concerns. The article criticizes the Indian government's approach, including the use of heavy security measures and the lack of genuine engagement with farmers' demands. It points out that the ongoing protests have been fueled by longstanding grievances over issues like guaranteed prices for crops, the impact of market distortions, and climate change. Sharma also mentions the political implications, with farmers' dissatisfaction potentially influencing elections. Sharma concludes by warning against taking farmers for granted, stressing the importance of addressing their issues comprehensively to avoid further unrest and ensure food security. hashtag #indianeconomy, #agrariantransition, #development, #sustainabledevelopment, #citizenship, #fundamentalrights, #agricultureandproduction
An ungrateful nation cannot treat farmers as an economic burden. Remember, they not only had pulled the country out of a hunger trap but even now ensure food security for the nation. Having emerged as a powerful force after the Iconic farmers protest in New Delhi, it will not be possible to ignore them anymore. They are an awakened lot. They know they have been denied their legitimate due all these years. My article. #farmers #indian #guaranteedprice #msp #europe #farmersprotest #farmincome #

First, after you defeated and humiliated Fatima Jinnah, all political forces and the Mohajirs began to hate you. Then the Bengalis hated you and left. Bhutto’s fall made the Sindhis despise you. Bugti’s death made the Baloch hate you. Allowing drone strikes and military operations in KPK turned the Pashtuns against you. Now, after the regime change, even the Punjabis have started to hate you. No amount of brutality can force loyalty. Only the most opportunistic remain by your side. Believe it, if even Imran Khan ever joins you again, the nation will hate him too, and maybe then you’ll understand that you’ve completely lost your people. People like me, who have been tirelessly fighting Hindutva, Indian propaganda like Indian Chronicles, and anti-Pak Army extreme-left rhetoric without seeking any appreciation or benefits believing we were safeguarding Pakistan’s ideological boundaries, are now completely shattered. May 9 wasn’t about those who burned, it was about those who provoked the nation and orchestrated the regime change. These are the real culprits. Then you nailed it further by blatantly rigging the elections, destroying hope, and shattering the nation’s trust, perhaps beyond repair. But for the sake of Pakistan, I still suggest, to restore its respect, the military must end all political interference, stop its oppressive tactics, and hold itself accountable for decades of brutality and corruption. The military’s role is to defend, not dominate. Only through genuine democracy, transparency, and justice can it reclaim its lost honor.

MilitaryCoupLoading in #Bangladesh (Quite an unsettling development for India - rich outsiders’ efforts to trigger unrest in democracies is a cause for concern. We in India managed to save our democracy in 2024. It's no longer a joke to say that we dodged the bullet on the 4th June. Besides a strong base of nation-proud responsible Indians, we have our values-driven godly Indian Army who respects democracy and her people). Bangladesh Army asked Sheikh Hasina (the lady who defied the US and West) to step down. Reports say Sheikh Hasina has already left Dhaka for a 'safer place’. As per the latest update, she has landed in Agartala, the capital city of Tripura. Agartala is the closest Indian city to Dhaka. In January 2024 (total 300 seats) -Shaikh Haseena won : 224 -Main Opposition won : 11 -Independent won : 62 And today, the Bangladesh Army Chief announced that the new govt will take over. A financially stable Bangladesh has suddenly seen a massive level of rebellion (It was never about reservations and always about regime change), which interestingly did not happen in a financially unstable & volatile Pakistan. The known truth has been reinforced again - US will always try to fuel unrest in India and her friends. India is now flanked by regimes sympathetic to Hardliners. Let’s not make fun of or mock our Govt which actually is preventing the chaos and destruction that foreign forces wants to unleash in India & is fighting anti India forces - Anti farming reforms protests and Shaheen Bagh were a couple of attempts. And Modi Govt had them tired out, cleverly. After months, both have fizzled out. Where did Modi Govt score over the lady : Modi Govt remained patient until the point when every anti-India force fizzled out. In the case of Hasina, wings of her Awami League party & security forces cracked down on protestors harshly. She mishandled protests which had support from the West. Today’s world has become way too volatile. Anything could trigger a collapse of a country and her people over a night. In such times of rapid volatility, we should be thankful that we have a strong stable Govt and our homes/families are intact.

In a distressing turn of events, the ongoing farmers' protest has taken a tragic toll. Reports confirm nearly 100 farmers hospitalized, with three losing their vision following clashes with Haryana Police. Pellets fired during the agitation have led to irreversible blindness for these farmers, amplifying the urgency of their cause. The incident unfolded as tensions peaked at the Punjab-Haryana border during the 'Delhi Chalo' march. Haryana Police's use of teargas shells and rubber bullets escalated the confrontation, resulting in severe injuries and permanent disabilities. Eyewitness accounts and medical reports paint a grim picture of the aftermath. Punjab Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh's statement underscores the gravity of the situation. Despite medical interventions, the loss of vision remains irreversible for the affected farmers. Their sacrifice embodies the struggle for justice and dignity in the face of adversity.
