In person and via zoom.

Last week, in New Delhi the year long farmer’s movement achieved victory, when prime minister Narendra Modi announced his government’s decision to repeal the three controversial farm laws. In the middle of the pandemic, a unique struggle took place. Hundreds of thousands of farmers from across the country occupied the borders of Delhi in a protest against the combined forces of corporate power and an ultra-right-wing government. On the whole an estimated two million people were estimated to be involved.

Tarun Gidwani, an activist who has organised solidarity with the farmers movement, will explain how they were able to defeat Modi’s government.
