In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Radhika Desai, a Professor at the University of Manitoba and Director of the Geopolitical Economy Research Group to discuss the repeal of farm laws in India that threatened to increase the domination of corporate control of agriculture and undermine small farmers, the still unmet demand that the farmers have vowed to continue to push for, how the farmers movement’s show of opposition and agitation has shifted the tides in Indian politics, and the role the US has in propping up the Modi government.
