Paragraph 2
India's farmers are up in
about the enactment of three
to "reform" the country's agriculture industry. The laws represent a radical
of India's agrarian society. Furious farmers are venting their
on the streets. They are accusing the government of selling out millions of India's agricultural
for the benefit of big agri-business. They have set up protest
around Delhi in what looks like a
of the city. A farmers' union representative said: "We will block rail tracks if our
are not met." He said agriculture was too
for governments to play party
with. Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar said he was optimistic about finding a compromise.
