You can spin in any way as you want, the farm law is a progress in the right direction. People in general are supporting the farm laws and it’s not surprising why
Genuine question, could you please explain how? Most people in my social circle are strongly against them so I only get views from one side regularly, and I would love to understand the other.
- ...that india doesn't need or want (it has surplus in storage)...
- ...and the government is obliged to pay the farmers higher than market rates (MSP = minimum support price) for doing so.
It's unfortunate that farmers have gotten acclimated to this market distortion... but it's simply not sustainable for a poor country like India. India needs a strong food export sector, and in order for that to happen, India's farmers need a non-distorted view of market-demand.

Which people? Those who've never entered a agricultural land and will never do so. If there are so supportive - will they pickup agriculture as their fulltime profession?
