Farmers protest

Dipankar Gupta’s article ,” The farmer’s protest, truths  and half truths,”(25. 12.20) in The Hindu gives a clear picture on the justification and the unfairness of the approach of the government and the farmers respectively  to the news observers . But ,to what extent the small farmers would be willing to migrate to cities and towns by making use of contract farming is doubtful . Moreover, when majority of the farmers are poor , there is every justification for continuing subsidies , though the total subsidy in India  is higher .  Is not  the corporate sector   pampered with higher fiscal concessions and monetary support?  But how long the farmers are going to stay in Delhi against all odds and the Government   going to test their holding power? Mutual distrust between them would prevent any amicable and early solution to this problem .
