Well my dads a farmer and he has no problem with these laws and you will find the same with majority of the farmers in India. They support the law, literally every economist is giving their approval to these laws. There will naturally be some opposing the law and the government has held a dozen meetings with the small number of farmers to discuss each and every point, but they are hell bent on repealing the law instead of amending, which imo is not very constructive.

Whether your dad is okay with it or not is irrelevant though.

The fact remains though that many are unhappy about it and have been attacked violently. The fact is that the police have filed FIRs against people for voicing support.

Those are the salient points to this discussion on whether India will ban Twitter or not

It's true that considerable number of farmers are unhappy with the new farm laws. But an even larger number of farmers are just fine with those. Ideally, this should be implemented differently in each state, as situation in each state is different. Violence does not help in anyway - either by the farmers or the police.

The other point is about involvement of shady organizations.

There is evidence that the protests were planned in advance. Greta Thunberg seems to be involved. I have read the document which was published on Cryptpad. While the document is not really encouraging violence, it does have phrases which clearly intend to malign India's image. A Canadian outfit called 'poetic justice' is also involved.

read the article from the Print https://theprint.in/diplomacy/canada-firm-mp-pr-person-suspe...

and this is the link for the toolkit https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/ehTz+drfKPwi4fP5dn0mivw...

while the toolkit does not directly incite violence , it clearly mentions that the plan was followed per schedule. the protests were already planned despite the leaders of protests giving their word that the protests would be peaceful on the republic day.

the toolkit reveals intentions to malign India by asking people all over the world to protest infront of Indian embassies

Most farmers don't get proper money for their crop, much less than what protesting farmers are getting. These farmers have something like minimum wage that protects them. These laws will remove these protection.

Those who are ok with it, don't have that protection, already get much lower payment than what they should, law does not effect them. This is the vast majority of farmers btw. So they don't care.

But saying just because vast majority ok without knowing what is going on is very shellfish. Educate yourself before making allegations.
