On 6 January 1921, the police in United Provinces fired at peasants near Rae Bareli.
Jawaharlal Nehru wanted togo to the place of firing, but was stopped by the police.
Agitated and angry, Nehru addressed the peasants whogathered around him. This is
how he later described the meeting: ‘They behaved as brave men, calm and unruffled
in the face of danger. I do not know how they felt but I know what my feelings were.
For a moment my bloodwas up, non-violence was almost forgotten but for a moment
only. The thought of the great leader, who by God’sgoodness has been sent to lead
us to victory, came to me and I saw the kisans seated and standing near me,
lessexcited, more peaceful than I was and the moment of weakness passed, I spoke
to them in all humility on nonviolence.I needed the lesson more than they and they
heeded me and peacefully dispersed.’

Extract : I

Extract : II
The agriculture sector provides the bulk of employment and a significant portion of
the GDP in India. Compare this to a developed country such as the US with the share
of agriculture in GDP at 1% and, its share in total employment a tiny 0.5%. And, yet
this very small percentage of people who are engaged in agriculture in the US receive
massive sums of money from the US government for production and for exports to
other countries. Due to this massive money that they receive, US farmers can sell the
farm products at abnormally low prices. The surplus farm products are sold in other
country markets at low prices, adversely affecting farmers in these countries.
Developing countries are, therefore, asking the developed country governments, “We
have reduced trade barriers as per WTO rules. But you have ignored the rules of WTO
and have continued to pay your farmers vast sums of money. You have asked our
governments to stop supporting our farmers, but you are doing so yourselves. Is this
free and fair trade?”
