 Why Kisan Andolan is happening in Delhi Again in 2024?

Why Kisan Andolan is happening in Delhi Again 2024

The year 2024 has seen a massive protest by the farmers of India, who have come from different parts of the country to the national capital Delhi to voice their concerns and demands. The farmers’ protest, also known as the Kisan Andolan, demands their rights from the government. It has been going on for several months now, and it is one of the biggest protests in the history of independent India.

The Kisan Andolan started in response to the three new farm laws that were passed in September 2023 by the Indian government. The farmers believe that these laws are not in their favor and that they will benefit large corporations and hurt the small farmers. The laws that were passed are the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act.

The farmers have been demanding the repeal of these laws and have been protesting peacefully in and around Delhi since November 2023. The protest is being led by different farmers’ unions and organizations, and the protestors have been camping at various sites around Delhi, including the Singhu border, Tikri border, and Ghazipur border.

The Kisan Andolan has seen massive support from people across the country, with various celebrities, politicians, and activists joining the protest to show their solidarity with the farmers. The protestors have been braving the harsh winter season in Delhi, with temperatures dropping to as low as 3-4 degrees Celsius, and have been living in make-shift arrangements.

The Kisan Andolan has also seen some clashes between the protestors and the police, with tear gas and water cannons used to disperse the crowd. However, the protestors have remained peaceful and have continued their protest despite the hardships.

The Kisan Andolan has brought the issue of farmers’ rights and their struggles to the forefront, and it has become a topic of national and international concern. The government has been holding talks with the farmers’ unions to resolve the issue, but no resolution has been reached yet.
