Abstract

This chapter captures the voices of the protesting people, especially the activists and farm union leaders, who represented thousands of farmers from different states protesting the three farm laws. These stories were recorded through interviews conducted online with the help of a questionnaire prepared after various on-field interviews and observations. The people interviewed here talk about their unions and their roles, their communication strategies and the involvement of different strata of society, arguably three reasons for the victory of the protest. This chapter also captures their personal journeys and the lessons they learned by participating in the farmers’ protest.
