  • Their main demand is this:

    The farmers have been demanding a legal MSP on the basis of the C2+50% formula (total cost of production + 50% profit)

    MSP means Minimum Support Price. Minimum support price for a given produce means that the government will buy that produce off you at the specified minimum support price. This gives farmers a safety net in two ways. First, it dictates the minimum price of their produce on the free market. Second, if they cannot find a buyer on the free market they can always sell to the government.

    I am unsure of the class character because I have never seen any statistics about this. There are two kinds of farmers generally. Some own a small/medium amount of land and struggle to make ends meet. Few own a ton of land and employ underpaid labour to operate on their farm thereby turning large profits. The latter class is small in quantity but incredibly rich, powerful and influential. The protestors are a mix of both.

    It is not perfect but at this point I will take anything that opposes BJP ever encroaching austerity.








  • It is kinda jarring how Metaphor has this elaborate high fantasy setting and then the politics are so baby brained. Apart from the normal “revolutionary guy is pure evil” trope the other candidates are so underwhelming. It could have been a great game if it wasn’t written for children.
