The Prime Minister of India has decided to repeal three controversial laws that their farmers have protested against for more than a year. Farmers will be allowed to sell produce to buyers beyond government-regulated wholesale markers where grocers will be assured of a minimum price. These laws were made to empower the small farmers, but the government has failed to convince some farmers who have opposed the new laws. The protest have continued and last month eight people were killed due to protests. They do say that this is just the beginning of many peoples victories for their voices.
