you know what’s the most annoying part of being a writer? having an extreme creative rush for 3 days and going into a writer’s block for next 4months straight.

An important book on the Indian farmers' movement that forced the BJP government to withdraw the pro-corporate farm laws:

Can't wait to get a copy of the book.

🚨🚨 Worker Unity, Groundxero, & Notes on Academy have published a brilliant book on the Farmers' Rebellion in India. Not only does it document the protest by way of interviews on the Farmers' movements, it provides key insights into agrarian question (of labour & land) in India.

[Aeshvarya Thakur @mayamatchstick]

An important book 'The Journey of the Farmers' Rebellion' was released in Chandigarh y'day. It deserves mention bcs the interviews curated have been the testimony of hardwork & objective ground reporting of Farmers' Protests by teams of @workersunity,Ground Xero & @notesacad.

@swatiatrest Knowledge Economy is when Class 8 students take 'multiple exit options' to pursue vocational learning as per 'local skill requirements' instead of dropping out.

Nai ka beta nai, kasai ka kasai but during Fourth Industrial Revolution 💥🎉🫂

[Sourya Majumder @DelhiSourya]

Com. Nodeep from Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan @nodeep769 highlights how only the organisation of the working class can force mass movements into a revolutionary direction.

Farm Laws, Labour Codes, NEP2020, Operation Samadhan are a combined attack by corporates on Indian people.

[Sourya Majumder @DelhiSourya]

Com. Darshan Pal, SKM spokesperson from BKU Krantikari, declares that before 2024 elections, more student-youth must come join the Kisan Andolan to defeat fascist RSS BJP.

Fascism can only be defeated on streets by the toiling majority based on a People's Charter of Demands.

[Sourya Majumder @DelhiSourya]

@khanumarfa says covering #KisanAndolan & anti-CAA movement were the most meaningful parts of her career.

That farmers confidently discussed national policies, foreign policy & spoke openly against their enemies in Ambani-Adani Raj—this is what is reviving equal citizenship.

[Sourya Majumder @DelhiSourya]

Com. Paramjit from ZPSC says Dalit landless women are fiercely fighting for panchayati land, against microfinance & better wages. Sanjha Morcha of united farmworkers unions was formed, inspired by SKM's success. But the issue of caste, patriarchy and land must be fought face on!

[Sourya Majumder @DelhiSourya]

Com. Pavel (Editor, Surkh Leeh) reflects on how farmers unions decisively united against WTO - IMF.

He believes that it advanced the history of post-47 land struggles and post-80s big farmer agitations, creating a new basis for revolutionary anti-imperialist worker-farmer unity.

[Sourya Majumder @DelhiSourya]

Com. Rajinder from Kirti Kisan Union highlighted that repealing the 3 Farm Laws will not solve India's agrarian crisis.

He argues that Punjab's wheat/paddy monoculture model has been devastating farmers post Green Revolution. An ecological alternative must be won by struggle.

[The Deng Excreted by the Cultural Revolution @saamnudaam]

My favourite part of her tenure was when she had her arse handed to her by the farmers protests.

[Notes on the Academy (NotA) @notesacad]

Small correction: BKU (Ekta-Ugrahan) was never part of SKM. This tweet should have read "landed farmer leaders."

Together, they cover the movement from all sorts of different angles.

SKM leaders talk about how they organised together to win. 🧵
