Farmers‘ protests in India have aggravated since 2020. This can be seen as an outcome of a severe and complex agrarian crisis brewing for the past two decades. In this seminar, Kunal will unpack who are the protesting farmers and what are their key demands to understand the roots of the agrarian crisis. The talk will end with a discussion on ecological issues and climate change, and how they are contributing to the agrarian crisis in India.
