The farmers, demanding fair crop prices, are being met with much more than just physical force. More concerning is that they are encountering a deliberate blackout of their voices, a tactic emblematic of the authoritarian tendencies of the current BJP-led regime. Such actions not only hinder democratic principles but also betray the very essence of a government accountable to its citizens. It is imperative that the government recognises the legitimate grievances of the farmers and engages in meaningful dialogue to address their concerns. Anything short of this would only fuel further unrest and deepen the divide between the rulers and the ruled.
