Episode 64: The Indian farmers' protest
We chat with Professor Navyug Gill about the ongoing farmers' protest in India. The discussion touches on:
- the intent of the Indian government to further neoliberalize and corporatize the farming sector
- the scale of the protest and the farmers' demands
- the nature of the BJP and its broader agenda
- reforms that would actually benefit farmers and agriculture in India
- and lots more.
