The most bizarre argument I have heard from educated globally traveled capitalist folks is that (somehow) it's immoral that the Modi govt used it's majority in parliament to pass bills & laws. These same folks give lectures on democracy & how Trump must accept election results.

I have tried to discern the logic in this argument & as I have stated on here earlier the reasons I surmise are as follows.
India with coalition Govts from 80s till 14 for 25yrs meant the tail wagged the dog & we believed THAT was how nature intended it to be. A ragtag 10 member

party decided who the PM should be. At every stage brokers took over every single aspect of the govt & nation that we became so comfortable with that system. Those who were in their 30s & spent 25yrs in their broker led admin of India at 55+ today are finding themselves totally

बरसों बरस से गांव में, गांव से बाहर जाने का सिर्फ एक ही रास्ता था जिस पर एक पहलवान लट्ठ ले कर बैठा रहता था और वह हर आने जाने वालों से कमीशन लेता था।
फिर गांव में एक नया प्रधान आया उसने गांव से बाहर जाने के लिए एक दूसरा रास्ता बना दिया जिस पर कोई पहलवान लट्ठ लेकर नहीं बैठता।

कुछ लोगों ने नासमझी में और कुछ लोगों ने सब कुछ समझते हुए भी नए रास्ते का विरोध किया तो प्रधान ने कहा कि मैंने पुराना रास्ता बंद नहीं किया है सिर्फ नया रास्ता बनवाया है जिसको जिस भी रास्ते से गुजरना हो वह गुजर ले।

ज्यादातर गांव वाले मन बना चुके हैं कि वह नए वाले रास्ते से ही गुजरेंगे लेकिन जो लोग पहलवान के साथ सांठगांठ किए बैठे हैं, कमीशनखोरी पर ही पल रहे हैं वह लोग खूब हो हल्ला मचा रहे हैं और ऐसा बताने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं जैसे सारे गांव वाले उस पुराने रास्ते से ही जाने के समर्थन में हैं।

There is a disturbing tendency among groups in the diaspora to religionize what are fundamentally political reactions to political actions. This religionizing creates a binary where every political actor & policy is necessarily pro-x or anti-y. 1/n

In this paradigm, abrogation #Article370 is anti-Muslim ignoring KP's and its anti-terror ramification. #CAA a pro-persecuted minority amnesty law is anti-Muslim, and the protests glorified. Now the #FarmersBill is portrayed as a anti-Sikh and protests romanticized. 2/

The protests are, in fact, merging, as anti-CAA #Dadi & a Dalit political party head join the farmers. But when roads & highways are blocked for months on end, at some point, commuters will demand roads are opened. But the religionized context-artificially constructed-means 3/

A thread on opposition's u-turn on the agriculture bills.

1. Parkash Singh Badal
Before Shiromani Akali Dal broke off a 22 year long alliance with NDA over #FarmBills2020, party patron Parkash Singh Badal defended the same bills just a few weeks ago.

2. Sukhbir Singh Badal

Farm ordinances were vociferously endorsed by him back in June. He also called out Congress CM Capt. Amarinder Singh's duplicity on them. But suddenly Sukhbir Singh Badla backtracked on his stand & started opposing the #FarmBills2020 now. What changed?

3. Harsimrat Kaur Badal

Just 10 days before resigning from Union Cabinet, Harsimrat Kaur was reassuring farmers on MSP, the benefits of the #FarmBills2020 & taking shots at Congress CM Capt. Amarinder Singh for misleading the poor farmers!

They are challenged as illegal, wholly unconstitutional, stating:

- Acts deal with State subjects
- Acts take away basic rights and safeguards to farmers
-Acts are Anti-farmer

A Thread of My Opinion On "Farmers Bill"👇👇
The Farmer Bills Proposed and Passed by The Government is Creating a Tension Among Farmers. They are Coming onto the Streets Opposing The Bill.Angry and worried farmer groups see them as unfair and exploitative Why is the Rage? 1/n

One of the biggest changes in this Bill is that farmers will be allowed to sell their produce at a market price directly to the Corporates. Most Indian farmers,at present, sell the majority of their produce at govt-controlled wholesale markets or mandis at assured Prices. 2/n

The Bill also allows private buyers to hoard essential commodities for future sales, which only government-authorised agents could do earlier. Now the Farmer can Enter into a Contract and Tailor his Agri Produce according to the Wishes of His Private Buyer. 3/n

@PARInetwork

The 8-member National Commission on Farmers, chaired by Prof. M.S. Swaminathan, was set up in 2004 by the UPA government to assess the extent of India’s agrarian crisis. It presented 5 reports.

Follow the thread to read its main points. #FarmersBill

ruralindiaonline.org/library/resour…

This first report was to assist central and state governments in arresting the decline of farm incomes and abating farmers’ distress. It says that action must be taken immediately & that we must take Nehru’s advice from 1948: “Everything else can wait, but not agriculture.”

2/n

5 factors are central to India’s agrarian crisis: unfinished land reform agendas, quantity and quality of water, technology fatigue, accessible, adequate and timely institutional credit, and assured markets.

1/n: A slightly theoretical thread on the political economy of #farmersbill "passed" by the RS.
In 1998 Utsa Patnaik wrote an essay called India’s Agrarian Economy & New Contradictions Following Liberalization for the CPI(M)'s theoretical journal. cpim.org/content/agrari…

2/n: Mandatory disclosure: Utsa, who is among the most eminent Marxist scholars on Indian agriculture (& became famous by arguing in favour of capitalist dev in Indian agriculture against veterans in the now famous Mode of Production debate) was my supervisor in CESP, JNU

3/n: Utsa's essay created a huge controversy within the CPI(M) ranks. It was against the party's programmatic understanding. She argued that the primary contraction within the agrarian economy was no longer between "mass of the working peasantry and labourers on the one hand...

The attempt to remove constraints on farmers as to where they sell their produce should in normal course be welcome. After all any move that could get them a better price shd be good. BUT in India anything privatized or where Govt cedes control means cronyism.

So a few big companies could soon decide among themselves the price and farmers may lose out as the APMC's lose their sheen and MSP goes out of vogue. So even a right step ends up with a wrong result. This is bcos of inherent lack of ethics in our big companies & Govt officials

Over a period of time thanks to the rampant cronyism, free market economics starts to look bad and Govt control over everything starts to look a better option than it really is. Unless cronyism is curbed and true capitalism is able to thrive our economy is doomed to struggle

Will the #farmersbill benefit farmers? The short answer is, we don't know yet. Flagging a few gaps here. A thread.

With the new set of laws, trade will likely move out of regulated mandis to save on taxes and fees. Will traders pass on their savings to farmers? Looks unlikely.

Transactions outside mandis will become invisible, unless the government puts in place a mechanism to record them. If we don't know what price a new buyer is offering farmers, no way we can evaluate if farmers are benefiting or losing out.
