The article investigates the farmer’s protest in India (2020-21) against the Indian Agricultural Act of 2020. It focuses on the roles of organisations such as trade unions and civil societies that took part in the protest in 2020-21 beyond partisan politics, the active participation of the women and Dalit farmers, and the counter narratives created by citizen journalism through social media platforms against sustained pro-state discourses from mainstream media. It studies the successes and limitations of the movement in the context of the nature of contemporary Indian politics and its future course.
