Farming community of India is on war path against the NaMo government for its move that seeks to downgrade interests of the farming community to benefit the trading community as three farm law reforms indicate. The reforms not only end the assured minimum support price for farm products but take away also their fundamental right to move courts against injustice merely on pretext that new decisions were in good faith. No one can question actions to ascertain whether the so called good faith is justice or not. Farmers are not articulate to the injustice involved in the reform laws but they know which side their bread slice has butter. The grain producers of North initiated the war move sand now other farm community also. Their demand is to repeal new farm laws. The government is ready to meet their demand to preserve their interests but no repeal new law as it provides protection to the establishment. The war is thus essentially for preservation of the democratic structure and not merely for bread.
