Rising Authoritarianism in India: The Perilous Struggle of Farmers Protests
The escalating attacks on protesting farmers are a grave concern, signalling a concerning erosion of democratic norms in the country. With the government suppressing dissent and resorting to forceful tactics, India risks slipping into a state of authoritarian rule, with Modi asserting unprecedented control.
The recent actions, including the destruction of farmers’ property by RSS officials and the suspension of internet services, reflect a disturbing trend of silencing voices of dissent. The deployment of the army against peaceful protesters only exacerbates the situation, raising fears of further violence and repression.
In this critical juncture, the support of leaders like CM Bhagwant Maan is crucial in providing emergency assistance and backing to the farmers. However, the complicity of BJP-led Haryana in perpetrating violence against protesters underscores the gravity of the situation.
The demands of the farmers, including MSP guarantees and the withdrawal of FIRs from past protests, highlight their legitimate grievances. These demands extend beyond Punjab, affecting farmers across India and ultimately benefiting end-users as well.
Despite the nationwide implications of the farmers’ struggle, the silence of Bollywood and other prominent figures is deafening. Their reluctance to speak out against injustices within the country raises questions about their commitment to democratic values and human rights.
As the struggle of farmers intensifies, it becomes imperative for all citizens to unite and resist the erosion of democratic principles. The fate of India’s democracy hangs in the balance, and the resolve of its people to safeguard it against authoritarianism will determine the nation’s future.
