Protests In The Past, Too Many Times, Lost Motive Due To Violence

Protests in the past too many times, farmers have lost their motive due to violence: Farmers Protest.

The violence that was witnessed in the guise of the farmer protests in Delhi on the occasion of 72nd Republic Day, not only caused this movement but also embarrassed the country.

This was seen for the first time in the history of Republic Day. Everyone is blaming each other for this incident. At the same time, two days after this incident, most of the farmers have started going back home from different borders of Delhi.

It is believed that in the next two days, the borders of Delhi will be calm as before. However, the farmers have said that they will continue their agitation till the government withdraws all three agricultural laws.

As far as the peasant protests are concerned, let me tell you that such agitations happened many times in the country. But most of the movements could not reach their end due to violence.

On 1 March 1987, the Karmukheri movement was started by the Indian Farmers Union in Shamli. It was in this movement that Mahendra Singh Tikait emerged as a prominent leader of the farmers.

This movement was done against the increased rates of electricity. But a policeman was killed in the violence during the movement. The agitating farmers set the police jeep and fire brigade car on fire and also damaged property.

In retaliation, two farmers died due to police firing. After this violence, this movement came to an end. The farmers had received nothing but assurances.

On 27 January 1988, the farmers surrounded the Meerut Commissionerate for about 24 days. Several violent incidents were also seen in this demonstration. Some farmers had also died due to the cold.

Even after this, the UP government did not talk to the farmers. After this, a train was set on fire by agitators at the Kapoorpur station. After this, the police had to fire in retaliation. The result was that the farmers had ended their agitation.

On 6 March 1988, the farmer protests began to bring justice to the family of the five farmers killed by the police. The movement led by Mahendra Singh Tikait lasted for more than 110 days.

He also gave the slogan of Jail Bharo. It is also called the biggest movement under the flag of the Indian Farmers Union. But this movement too came to an end without fulfilling its purpose.

Millions of farmers took part in the protests led by Mahendra Singh Tikait on 25 October 1988. He took the vote club in his possession. It was attended by farmers from 14 states.

When the police laid siege to the vote club, the agitators clashed with the police. One farmer was killed in this clash. The police forcefully used sticks on the farmers using force. After this, Tikait announced the end of the movement.

On 27 May 1989, there was a clash with the police of farmers who had united against the land acquisition in Aligarh. Some farmers were killed in it.

Even after this, this sit-in demonstration went on for a few days but then later there was a dispute about it among the agitators, after which it was terminated.

On 2 August 1989, Mahendra Singh Tikait started the movement after the disappearance of a young woman from a village in Muzaffarnagar. He also called on all the peasant leaders of the country to come there.

42 days after this movement, for the first time, the state ministers reached among the agitators and announced to accept their demands. This movement is considered to be the most successful in the history of the peasant movement.

In 1993, farmers surrounded the power house in Lucknow’s Chinhat, after which the police had to use force. Two farmers were killed in it. Mahendra Singh Tikait himself was sitting on a dharna at the power house for three days.

The government had given Rs 3 lakh as compensation to the families of the deceased. Apart from this, the losses of the tractor of the farmers were also compensated.

This movement not only gave a big identity to the Indian Farmers Union but also made it a big organization of North India.

The state and central government shook the state and central government on 14 August 2010 in the Aligarh tiger case. This movement was against the land acquisition of Noida.

After the uprising of this movement, when the police used force, three farmers were killed in it. A company commander of the PAC was also killed in this.

The new land acquisition bill was approved by the Center three years after the incident. In addition to increasing the circle rate, some other provisions were made.

On 23 September 2018, the farmers traveled towards Delhi. The yatra lasted until about 2 October, but they were not allowed by the police to enter the border from Delhi.

This was followed by forced violence. After this, the peasant leaders held talks with the Union Home Minister and the agitation was called off. This movement was led by Naresh Tikait, son of Mahendra Singh Tikait.
