Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper identifies and interprets the political and economic undercurrents of three farm laws passed by Indian Parliament in September 2020, triggering a year-long protest by farmers that eventually led to their repealing in November 2021. While the government argued that the farm laws were designed to foster private sector investment in agriculture, the protestors, opined that the laws were designed to pullback from the Minimum Support Price (MSP) (provided particularly on wheat and paddy). Through a close reading of Punjab's agricultural economy, we delve into understanding the economic and political undercurrents of [un]settling rubble of farm laws and protests.
