ON November 26 2021, the great Indian farmers’ protest celebrated its first anniversary and its first major victory.
A few days before President Narendra Modi had announced he would repeal his hated farm laws.
It was these laws which a year ago had prompted over 250 million people to come out in an all-India strike, the biggest strike in history, including not only farmers but workers in engineering, transport, textiles, docks, banking and education.
