India with a 1.3 billion population has the compulsion and urgency to elevate its people living in poverty. Out of sectors, the majority of farmers in India, rely on farming and Architectural sectors to meet the daily needs. The agriculture sector is one of the most important industries in the Indian economy, which means it is also a huge employer. Approximately 60 percent of the Indian population works in the industry, contributing about 18 percent to India’s GDP. Jan 8, 2021. Now her is the problem, 60% of the population contributes 18% to the GDP. Several factors keep the farmers poor in India.

The major single factor is ‘Politics’. In India, certain political parties maintain a certain section as their vote bank. Some Parties always protest no matter what the cause or a new reform is. To do so they need supporters, protesters, so for the obvious reason, they need these sections of people to be poor forever. Only then they can get votes with this ideology. Indian politics is complex and very complicated, today we will focus on Farm Bill 2020 or Farm Law which has grabbed the attention of Porn stars and Pop singers. The irony is that those who talk about farmers protesting and farm law in India have no clue about the law or situation on the ground. So we have spent our precious time educating these corrupt dummies in the west.

Here is our Idiot’s Guide to India’s Agriculture Reforms. In this, we will question and try to answer comparing the old law and the new one. So we will know which is better for an Indian poor farmer. All the questions and answers will be within the legal framework.

First, let’s understand what is APMC and MSP as we will be discussing a lot in these terms. Farmers Are Protesting to keep APMC and MSP intact. At least that’s how the protest was started but now reached Khalistani proposition, a banned terror group want to separate Punjab from India. With the help of Pakistan.

What is APMCs?

APMC Agricultural Produce Market Committee, An Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) is a marketing board established by state governments in India to ensure farmers are safeguarded from exploitation by large retailers, as well as ensuring the farm to retail price spread does not reach excessively high levels.

Based on the recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices, the Department of Agriculture and Co-operation, Government of India, declares Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for 22 crops before their sowing seasons.

What MSPs mean?

First What is Farmer ordinance bill 2020?

The Farmers‘ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020 is an act of the Indian Government that permits intra-state and inter-state trade of farmers‘ produce beyond the physical premises of Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) market yards (mandis) and other markets notified under government.

Benefits of Farm Bill 2020 with facts

(1) Farmers and NGOs claim both APMCs and MSP will be abolished in the new Farm Bill 2020. Is it true?

Answer: Not At All! Both APMCs and MSPs will be guaranteed in the new law as it was in the old law.  There are no changes in here. Except rumors were spread by political parties and they’re discreet to create confusion. Which was the core reason to Farmers Protest at the start.

(2) Do Farmers have the freedom to sell their hard-worked cultivated products outside APMCs and del them above MSPs the minimum price?

The answer is No, in the old law. Farmers we’re not given this opportunity to sell their products as per their will, as per their price demand. But thanks to the New #FarmLaws #FarmBill2020, Now there can sell out the APMCs and Sell above the MSPs price. This will improve the once of every farmer in India. This making the Farming industry produce more income for the country as well. A game-changer for millions of farmers living in poverty in India. Hands down win for the New Farm Law, Don’t you think?

(3) Do old laws force buyers to pay the farmers on time?

The answer is NO! Old law does not have any clause in this regard. But the new Farm Law has lots of policy in this regard. Farmers even sue if buyers don’t pay them on time. Under the new law, this kind of delayed payment to the farmers will be a punishable crime. Hands down victory for Farm Bill 2020 and Farmers indeed.

(4) Are Politically backed middlemen are in full control over Farmer’s destiny, sales, and income?

The answer is of course in the Old Law, for decades farmers have been contained in a small circle. Which are highly influenced by corrupt politicians. But in the New law, All the constraints are broken down. Farmers get the freedom to break out of the circle. Hands down victory for the new Farm Law 2020.

(5) Do legal mechanisms prosecute the unethical agents, middle meant or buyers?

The answer is No, in the old Farm Laws in India. There are no legal mechanisms specially made for farmers to pursue these fraud and corrupt agents. Most of these agents could be influential with some political parties locally. But the new Farm Law has all the mechanisms to sue these fraud agents and buyers once they don’t follow the agreement. Hands down Victory for the new Farm Laws.

(6) Can Buyers get away with not making Payments to the farmers as per the contract?

The answer is yes with the old laws. An important advantage with the new Farm Laws is the contract based transaction. Buyers will be entitled to pay as per the agreement, the market demand and the price oscillation should not affect the farmers or the contract. Thus making a secured future for Farmers and assured income for the farmers. Hands down victory for the new Farm Law and Farmers.

(7) Can farmers fix their price for their cultivation?

The answer is no, in the old Laws. But with the new law farmers will be the ones who will negotiate the price to be sold to any retailers. And they could be decided during the contract signing. So the Farmers get to decide the price with the new farmer’s bill 2020. Hands down victory for Farmers and New Farm Laws.

(8) Can Farmers end the contract if there is a breach of the agreement?

Not at all in the old and outdated laws. But with the new law YES, Farmers can discontinue the contract if there is a breach in the agreement. Hands down victory for the new Farm Laws.

(9) Can farmers sell anywhere in India or private retailers or international buyers?

The answer is No with the old laws. The irony is that each district in all the states in India has government-authorized mandis. Only there a farmer from this discreet can sell his produce. Without taking advantage of demands in India. But thanks to the new law a Kashmiri farmer can sell his precious produce to a buyer or a retailer in southern India or elsewhere.

Farmers can get more income and profit if they can bargain a deal where demands are high in other states of the country. Earlier Farmers sell it to a middle man. Who later sell the products at 100% more profit in many cases. But now with New laws, Farmers will be able to make this profit for themselves and his family. Hands down victory for the new farm bill 2020.

(10) Are farmers essentially and forcefully under the control of politically backed APMCs mandis?

The answer is Yes in the old law. But in the new law, farmers have all the rights and freedom to go beyond these mandis and get more profit as per their needs. Hands down victory for the new farm bill 2020.

Myth Busters on Farmers Protests and allegation of Modi Government:

“FARMERS WERE NOT CONSULTED”

This is probably the greatest myth of all, as farmers have themselves led demands for these reforms since independence! Deep consultations with thousands of farmers have taken place for over 20 years, by the Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh and Modi governments.

“THE LAWS WERE RUSHED THROUGH PARLIAMENT”

Many of the government’s reforms since 2014 have sought to remove political patronage of grassroots activity and service provision in the country. Some of India’s opposition figures have therefore been hell-bent on thwarting these reforms, often by stalling parliamentary procedure, for reasons explained in section 4. The government has therefore responded by robust means of its own, i.e. using its superior numbers in parliament to rush through legislation, to prevent the opposition from continuing to scuttle such reforms. Ideally, in a conducive environment, all legislation would be premised upon civilized and well-intentioned debate.

“MODI IS A FASCIST, INNIT”

Mr. Modi is a decent man who dares to effect reforms that others had only promised. He has broken the back of virtually every political-criminal nexus in India and is now trying to free farming from political patronage, to double farmer incomes.

THE PROTESTS OF FARMERS OR PROTEST TO TOPPLE THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT?

SO WHY IS THERE SUCH A LARGE PROTEST?

First of all, these protests are relatively minuscule. Barely a few a thousand farmers typically attend such protests approximately 0.00006% of India’s 150 million farmers. Clumsily edited images and looped videos are in circulation which attempts to portray the protests as bigger than they are. Even then perhaps 4-5.000 protesters – at a peak – have partaken in these protests. “Bharat Bandhs are also coercive events, and unfortunately happen regularly. Today, APMC agents and politicians have had to resort to paying people Rs. 1,500 (E15) each to take turns to sit at the protest site for a week, so abysmally low is the actual support for these protests They also threaten to fine unwilling Sikh villagers who refuse!

WHO IS BEHIND THESE PROTESTS THEN?

These protests are not at all driven by our decent, hard-working farmers. We honor and respect them. They are simply being used as pawns, and those supporting the reforms are the ones who truly care for them. Politicians, commission agents, and a tiny elite of super-wealthy farmers together form the criminal APMC racket which are at the heart of these reforms

These exceptionally selfish vested interests are responsible for funding, promoting, and organizing these protests. Why? Because their ill-gotten income streams – which are premised upon the exploitation of poor farmers – are at stake after seven decades of independence. They are determined not to allow these reforms to succeed, and we must be foolish it we have not latched onto that by now.

A SHORT HISTORY LESSON

WHO STARTED APMCS AND WHY?

India’s first regulated market was instituted by the British after the First War of Independence, to cut a powerful Indian farming community down to size. By funneling the prosperous Indian farming community through a window of state control, later known as APMCs, farmers now had to sell through government-appointed agents and at lower prices. This ensured that they were both monitored by British administrators, and also could no longer prosper financially. This, therefore, restricted their ability to act as agents of social change and freedom, or play a meaningful role in the fight for independence.

AND WHO STARTED PRICE CONTROLS & WHY?

The Islamist caliph Alauddin Khilji imposed punishing price controls on Indian farmers almost 700 years ago. He did this for similar reasons to the British in creating APMCs: to stifle the prosperity – and therefore social mobility and power of farmers.

WHY DID A FREE INDIA NOT REFORM THE ABOVE?

Indian governments did reform APMCs and price controls significantly after independence, but their basic utility of controlling the freedom, prosperity, and destiny of Indian farmers was never truly done away with. It is said that Indian politicians, post-Independence, took over the mantle of colonizers concerning their continued control and manipulation of farmers. The current government’s reforms are therefore the first in 700 years to truly hand back power to farmers themselves. During pre-enactment consultations, Prime Minister Modi told a group of Sikh farmers that he took inspiration from Guru Gobind Singh Ji it his fight to bring these reforms. The rest of us should do, too.
