The Indian Farm Laws of 2020 have very definitely stirred the entire nation up and have led people into initiating a dialogue about farmers and their rights.

While most people are trying to make sense of the laws and understand what they really propose, the mainstream media isn't helping a lot. However, a few people have taken the responsibility of bringing to notice the real information and ground level problems of the farm laws.

One such person is Nitish Rajput who owns a successful YouTube channel of the same name. Based in New Delhi, Nitish is a reputed name in the Information Technology sector of the country. His YouTube channel aims at providing fact checked information on current affairs. One of his most recent videos titled ‘Reality of New Farmers Bill’ covers a broad outlook on the bills and seeks to explain them in detail.

Nitish explains that the small scale local farmers already sell outside the mandis but a large scale farmer with big produce will have to go to the APMC mandis. This will end the negotiation power of the large scale farmer because of the intense monopoly of the private players.

In the second law, the Government enables farmers to form a contract with the private companies. In this case, the problem is the unpredictability and intent of the private companies and the various disputes that are likely to arise in a legal contract. In the third law of essential commodities, the Government is seeking to prevent the hoarding of essential commodities. In this case, the rich private companies with adequate facilities of cold storage etc. would be able to create situations of artificial demand.
