After researching this farmer protest. India federally is lifting state restrictions. While lifting restrictions may be seen as a good thing, the small farmers protesting feel that lifting restrictions mean agrocorps will run wild and drive them out of business. India has 100 million farmers.

I * think * Gretta is on the side of the small farmers. In reality I can argue both sides here. However, I'll argue that 100 million people should have jobs above all else. Unless the agrocorps will hire those 100 million, I have to stand by the little guys.

As for the "deadly riot" as far as I know 1 farmer died, and lots of police injured during a protest / riot at some kind of capital.

I say this all as an American and I've learned how skewed things can be.

Actually, farmers are not the real ones protesting in large numbers.. It is the filthy rich middlemen from just one state of spoiled brats - Punjab that is behind this. Because this legislation will gradually end the monopoly of these parasites, they are desperate to reverse this reform.

Most well informed small farmers totally wnat this.
