On the Contrary by IDR

Farmer protests, dissent, and disappointment


Listen Later

Former Agriculture Secretary Siraj Hussain and leader of a farmer collective, Kavitha Kuruganthi, discuss the ongoing farmer protests and what they tell us about dissent, and the process of consultation and policy reform in India.

Highlights –

  • Why the process of consultation with farmers failed
  • What policymakers seemed to have missed, while making these reforms
  • How citizens should protest in a democracy, in order for their dissent to be heard
  • How we can move forward, in the spirit of democracy
