Modi backs down on unpopular Indian farming laws

The Indian PM announced the repeal of the controversial laws after farmers were involved in sometimes violent, year-long protests over the issue, with dozens dying from heat, cold, and Covid.

Farmers feared the three laws, market reforms to the agricultural sector, would devastate their earnings by forcing them into selling their crops cheaply.

Modi made the shock announcement during a televised speech, to the delight of the farming community nationwide, with the premier vowing to make a ‘fresh start.’
