How did the #farmers go from desperately wanting to sell land, to protesting against selling #land? And more importantly, how is India’s Constitution the culprit here? A #Thread, from our recent #hippoBrain conversation with @srajagopalan <1/29>

#threadstorytime #FarmersProtest
In 1950, when #India became a republic, one of the major things on the agenda was land reform. Understandable, because India was incredibly poor. ~95% were working in Agriculture. <2/29>

#landreform #FarmersProtest
Most of them were not land owners; only 1-2% of the people working in Agriculture were land owners. So there was a push towards making this a more equitable system. Esp since the land was granted to zamindars due to on privileges given by the East India Company, etc. <3/29>
