In case anyone else was wondering, there are no details in the article that would allow a person with a grasp of economics to get an idea whether what the farmers are asking for would really help them.

I first thought it said “Indiana,” not “India.” I gotta go to the optometrist.

This story doesn’t have the same kind of interest that the “Monkeys riot and destroy town” or “Elephants go on rampage and destroy town” that come out of India on occasion.

Farmers have been rioting in India since the British left, and often before.

I think the local view is that the world is running pretty much normally.

Seems to me that the government is getting out of the way.

Previously farmers could only sell through gov run markets. Now they will be able to sell privately. The gov run markets, however, did have price guarantees.

I can't claim to be an expert, but from what I see, it'd be more of a free market now. That does mean, however, that the big guys might be able to squash some small guys.

Also note, the yellow flags with the curvy symbol represent Khalistan - a non-existant Sikh nation. There was a revolutionary movement trying to create that some years ago and now some of the hold out advocators of that are attempting to hijack the scene to separate again.

Similar to the Boston Tea Party...

Looks like civil unrest is an international phenomenon these days.
