Abstract
ABSTRACT The farmers unions in Punjab protesting against the Three Agricultural Laws gradually consolidated into an All-India Kisan Andolan when they marched to Delhi and camped at its borders. The farmers stayed put for an year till the Three Laws were repealed. This paper looks into the broad contours of andolan focusing on its seminal feature, the primacy of politics. The Morcha realized the significance of politics in the declaration of these laws and decided to counter the government’s strategy supporting the corporate houses politically. A nonviolent protest involving numerous sections of society, especially women, culminated in the farmers’ success.
