This book examines the farmers' protests in Punjab against the backdrop of agricultural corporatization and recent farm legislation. It provides a comprehensive analysis of agrarian movements in Punjab, tracing their evolution from land reform struggles to contemporary protests against pricing policies and corporate agriculture. Through detailed case studies, the authors explore the historical context of farmers' movements, the role of unions and cultural mobilization, the significance of folk songs in shaping protest narratives, and the complex relationship between Sikh identity and farmers' rights. The subject matter of this book also includes:

  • Analysis of Punjab's farmers' protests against agricultural corporatization and the three farm laws
  • Historical examination of agrarian movements in Punjab from land reforms to contemporary pricing disputes
  • Detailed study of the role of farmers' unions, folk songs, and cultural mobilization in protest movements
  • Exploration of women's participation and gender dynamics in recent farmers' agitations
  • Critical assessment of center-state relations and discontent in Punjab's agricultural politics

Drawing on extensive fieldwork and historical analysis, the book offers insights into center-state relations, protest strategies, and the broader implications of agricultural policy in contemporary India.
