11:34 am
that brought the farmers on to the streets of delhi but the film was going home yet from up in india couture explains why in a very we are farmers if our land is taken away what will we do what will we eat what will i tell my children that we never went there to protest we never raised her voice against the government the land that belonged to our ancestors we even lost that they were asked why we didn't fight for our rights that is why we are here those who know how many are. so what is next for the farmers protest in india if you have perspective we would love to hear from you you know what city if you're on the cheap is jump into the comment section and be part of today's show and you can also ask the questions too i guess you have an excellent one up we have elizabeth we have merged in there and we also have to feed the guests hello welcome to the string nice to have it it is let's tell everybody who you are why you are
11:35 am
important to this discussion. hello family when i and other khurana. the heirs and their correspondent and i've been covering these protests since they began 2 months ago and now. much of the welcome to the stream tell everybody here. but it's a lot of. little so little time to institute but before close on winston water sure a little better and i'm also i'm on climate change or instance i'm working on what get to have a headache welcome to the stream why you put into this conversation tell our audience here you are what. my name is. dear that can lean over all for a national alliance scorelines for sustainability who are mystic agriculture i've been far. from the beginning.
11:36 am
i would do you 2 things one is elizabeth i want you to catch up and help out when it's catch up with what has happened since the protests started in terms of government action i can feel you've been in talks negotiations and i want to hear what the thoughtless feel that they have achieved so far so please you start 1st what is the government done when they realize the farmers were upset what if they don't. well the government has done quite a lot for me i mean they started by trying to stop these farmers from entering delhi to begin with they use tear gas and water cannon when they realise farmers are determined to come to the capital they said that you can come but you have to protest as a desert designated site that wasn't good enough for farmers and they occupied 3 major highways they've essentially allowed us to do that and after about 6 or 7 weeks of the largest protest that we've seen since promised in that in that order was 1st elected 6 years ago. the government has now said that it's willing
11:37 am
to suspend the implementation of things that was for 2 years so that is latest offer that follows the supreme court's suspending the implementation of the laws while it set up a committee to look into them so the government it looks like you know it's made. exceptions or it's made allowances for the farmers but of course nothing they've done is good enough for farmers or that it really didn't help that the supreme court's committee was made up of 4 people who have all spoken out in favor of the kinds of changes that the government is suggesting and that is why the protests are still very much continuing. i've been looking at some headlines on my laptop here this one is from the he does stand time's farmers reject since his proposals put yours on hold for 1.5 years is that this is just updated just
11:38 am
a little bit longer than that i can see the you've been negotiating table this is quite some feat farmers have done it if pushed back a little what else do you want. they've only got a suspension awful from so far and they're asking for. the laws and that is something that the government does not do is not ready to give in because they believe that the prime minister to be. they want him to be seen as someone who is decisive they want to be seen as. a government which is brewery farms and so on. all in all that small man why the markets 'd still get 40 points from the government has seen
11:39 am
many other things happen there's a huge debate that the protest has churned up in india democracy it's about the farms and rich deduction should the farm speech about the gradient crisis in india and importantly. have learned to work with each other flom organizations which have been working as small groups all over the country they have joined hands and we're talking about it least $400.00 organizations coming together listening to work with each other protesting together that did synth is a huge positive outcome and a horse promise for the future as flat as. 8 seconds. to feel you make an important point and it's something the proposition. to us
11:40 am
a little bit. just a true test that this is tending to amusement this is what he told. how the movement has successfully democratic freedoms going are ignoring. stock market modeling childred lawmaking. the movement is proceeding rightly only by the program and nonwhite and rich moves in question and it could be unfortunate if the government of the day are always there to use force or listen to any form to go to speak more species boston human and in the struggle for rights by the people yes we have quite a movement going on and he commits such as well murder i'm going to put this question to you if this is for ms ali thanks nice for staying up late why do you think the ruling indian government want to stick something that isn't broken.
11:41 am
i think that's a fan's needs is a banger. ok that's a fantastic question. about i'm just going to pull more and you know what they are all about are almost the. only one and. or in all. but only 6 in half and the long march if i'm going to read or write or like so if that's all i'm broken i don't know what is the so many farmers out killing them so if that's not broken i don't know what is the one thing is many of these crops started off as a one your legacy and then we've continued on with them sort of. joining the cleaned up. i'm going to the water and out. of the water and out of
11:42 am
job and. a lot of those crops you know what job and have not bought something get 5600 millimeters of rain and ice it's a crop that does i think on their appearance which is probably 800 metres of bank and then people talk to. the farmers i call also say one of the reasons they can set. the price i'd like to is because this is the market you know so i would disagree that the system us know what broken the system is broken and i think we need to do a lot. far most and i want to see neighborhoods and there are questions but a lot of women let's leave you know ringback. yeah i mean it's not he's saying i'm in this group yeah you're right push back to you it doesn't matter i never hear from you let me put this one to you why most of the farmers from punjab reaching.
11:43 am
india. so the reason why my son. farms are from punjab and haryana is because most of the farmers and an id on a do actually get a minimum support price for their project mr mishra speaking about that $6.00 this and shikha saying that only 6 percent of the country's finest get that minimum support price. wallace. there is a lot of debate about that that that 6 percent i think the doctors from about 2012 there needs to be more recent and better analysis. basically it's because they are the farmers that are going to be impacted a lot by the laws they're also very very organized and so they've been able to to jennie's for what is. essentially stand up for themselves. to take isn't ready for. the ready or the let me call for
11:44 am
a protest was given to the states as own daily when we talked about you know walking into daily to speak to the central government of india. it was a call given to farmers from. the british just. for all of the farmers in the country this is this was in october that was said. as we call it in india i mean let's go to delhi now but all of the states the call was about protesting locally. but just you do find that the punjabi farmers are more organized than others. and also people who have access to agricultural machinery lake tractor trolleys and they converted into they put it he homes as this quarter. is yet i would have been in
11:45 am
place to here and this is to me that much. about. how effective is famine in india right now maybe there should be some reforms have a look here at an article that she wrote in december from axa necessary for green revolution $2.00 interest out see in consequence incentives and communication are key so what the government did murder was not ok. and are we just looking at pushing back progress in india and india really does need to look at how is it doing its agriculture right now. again i'm going to keep in mind i might change what i think that it thinks i thought we were going to appropriate and when the cultural revolution 2.0
11:46 am
. i think the new mission or the fact that you know that's almost a one job and how the on our daily challenge on international one point which made us feel i think all of. that effort i think that it's not always about that but i mean just to shrink to point to just to be in the overwhelming climate when the print from the top to 1.25 to need different crops you need different job to face to participate and the problem is i think in the congress of the said the city could i think bunch up half the mission of the job is a thing of the same site what's also thought of in getting that infrastructure and many people say it's old hoss the financial bad it's always a business it infrastructure it's just why they need private sponsors a patient and in some it's that's what i would want as a patient doesn't exist with the smallest almost the frights. you know what you want to kind of guy the clock as
11:47 am
a patient and you know i think some of the bacon have tweaked and i don't see little anything that's kind of slick since you want to. get this i'm just ringback you know i know you to not be able to protest but i think the forces of wonderful the choice you ringback can demonstrate the well things are so hopefully the communication we can get the solutions that will be moved to a better place for multiple months i had. but you know i mean. yeah liz in the piece that i'm not seeing how let's get to that solution right now and start. this yeah i just wanted to say that you know femi there's very few people that will say that india is. perfect most people say that it needs reforms but those who are out protesting protesting those hundreds of thousands of people say that you can't fix one broken system but the new set of laws which are broken in themselves because they give too much power to private corporations which were not work in the
11:48 am
interests of more than marginal farmers most most of india's more and more and marginal farmers. i would have breeding now to power who talks about the green the solution in. right back to you and i should say in the 1960 s. india had a green revolution so this is why now the reform of agriculture right now is being caught we refresh aleutian 2 point by some people now that your power is saying hold on a minute it's happened to listen to what she had to share with us earlier in the story. there are lots of misconceptions i don't read evolution so it was not and i use excess fluctuation and the intensive one of those are practices that have been going into their herd and are especially detrimental for smaller marginal farmers were ones that you know i heard of these farm laws so these practices the idea of going to just ponds and the farmers who saved land lucian and more to be you should so what are the farmers in india do we need. from these practices do not mean very
11:49 am
boettcher do not need devolution where or only venetian do seem to have markets. do go ahead keep in sitting at the go sheesh and take what you want to be revolution 2.0. but green their emotion as it has a negative connotation for most of those. and you know it's something that ended up destroying those pockets of india. as those hubs so food security as well as those ignore large tracts of. media so they would is maybe a small onset of places where everything was bombed in a war ecosystem was built on focusing on just about 2 grains and wheat and india's food security. a policy
11:50 am
conceptualisation listed on these. 2 grains and supply from these pockets to the rest of the country and i must say that followed has been to blame for the entire country and that is where we don't need a 2nd greens evolution as it's called we didn't need to he conceptualize boards the future of india looks like we don't need the same better day replicate it a 2nd time and. unfortunately we haven't large program going on it's actually does that it's called bring in green devolution to east india a lot of public investment is going into water intensive farming in eastern india so we need to think about farms in a different. need not mean just you know in
11:51 am
a macroeconomic sense. you know liberalization facilitation of private business operations and so on for most things this government in power who are usually talks about a unique. indian tragic tree. sure the word when it comes to any farms the need to farms from unlikelihood split speak to the need to. live they need to unwind mental sustainability and the important things we need social justice. i just want to just jump jump across to murder murder you look totally forgot we can fix it was talking you had your head in your hand and you that i. can't can you i don't put words into your into your body language can articulate what your face was now i know what's going on and yet it's not i think that.
11:52 am
that's exactly what i said which is you know blamed why i don't want to be in evolution 1.2. and that's the irony that agreeing that you know what you should go and live it to sustain. you know fight the almost protests out about continuing to grow you know no no no it's not no nor not with the less already there asking for price for you to go in and more. so that you know what i mean you know maybe i became known as a monster and it came to me just a quick price of what from. it gives you know if you're going to get out of the doing it please but it's a good. day ladies don't let anything you say but let's not be carefree thermo tonight i hear i hear the disagreement i'm going to hear it i know to you both made your point and now i'm going to move on i want to share with you something here
11:53 am
it's an image that. let's put on her instagram account and she was in put in charge she was talking to protest and the thing that jumped out at me were these were all women there is an alarm about gender or women fans women farmers also protesting that sometimes get over a lot look this is that to see when minding us that there are women protesting and what they also have to lose is have a look as has. decreased in farming in is likely to lead to rising levels up did and debt is a primary cause of farce to say india now we're a longing to suicide victims families are you really were duped by our decency. and due to the view given by years of me in who it is environmental or the acknowledged us farmers in spite of their way going to. action more or in a few leveraging our society when farming in the drawer i household resources are
11:54 am
insufficient then the needs of men will move toward the needs of the. less go ahead yeah yeah i mean for me the last dime to address the end of quality in farming at all women make up around 50 percent of the nias agricultural hordes they are only on 12 percent of the land they work on they're not recognized as farmers which means that they're not entitled to many government provisions to credit. the credit that people get when they are hummers and again these laws don't address any of those massive imbalances. when i'm following the farmers protests and keeping up with all of the what comes out seems to me that the worst case scenario the pharma so expect in the worst case scenario and then i saw a tweet from you which is really interesting the government of india has already
11:55 am
lost a game set and match has tanked from is true tess that sounds very optimistic always somewhere in the meadow oh do you feel you've done. well in many of their is . like i said the fact that the debate is squarely on the farming crisis. is something that was in long. and to me it's so good it that the farmers protest is making headline news every morning and primetime debates on india's mainstream television channels are about ok what should be done you know which direction for the future so that to me is a good thing and the fact that the government is stepping down incrementally after having ignored the protests for once so all of these to me reading that if positive
11:56 am
outcomes already and i think we are not too far away from actually getting go we're demands for it. guess i'm going to ask you just very briefly in a sentence to reply to jackie seeing his own right now when we're farmers not consulted before implementing the law i mean surely they they would not have this protest if they'd actually consulted the farmers i want an instant reaction from leeds much of the use not. i think the book consultations are going to be. and you know. i mean we're all almost you know pushing or you know pushing back much of the same they were consultations goofy think in response to judging well they were absolutely no consultations when it came to this set to flaws that. they were
11:57 am
considerations. of the farms and exactly the details of it and that was a lift to the state governments in india strange and set up the flag did the government or in the. name brought in these acts that is the unacceptable part and i wouldn't agree that they were consultation. i mean i would just say that this is not a government that is known for doing enough consultations with stakeholders before at passmores and that's something that we've seen a lot over the last 6 years and this is an theme that i would say. thank you gas for keeping us up to date with the fall this process and pushing us almost the discussion as well you did she was your remarkable at the time of these grow const it is the middle of the night. and i can tell that from his protests
