This essay does not intend to be an all encompassing overview of the Indian agriculture industry, and there are other aspects worth more study. This was just an analysis of the economics of the situation from an Azadist perspective. Much of this I felt was either overlooked or misunderstood by our Panth especially. Hence, misinformation and manipulation spread easily. Socialist and Communist ideologies gained a foothold by taking advantage of the situation to place the blame on free-markets and capitalism, however after drilling into the details this couldn’t be further from the truth. That ‘public-private’ sector link that the Azadist approach aims to break, is exactly what these Marxist ideologies are. They blur the lines between the state and the private sector, so that the corrupt and authoritarian elites can take power.
Those of you who are too entrenched in your leftist or right-wing political ideologies may not like what I have written here, and that’s okay. My aim is not to convince you, its to help educate those who are genuine about learning and want to see real change in this world along the lines of Gursikhi and Khalsa values. Many of these stubborn types, seeing their ‘team’ being rinsed here and their worldviews challenged probably wouldn’t have even read this whole thing.
As always, debate and disagreement is encouraged and I am happy to hear it. If you would like to write an essay or article for
either on this topic, or anything related to Sikhi, statecraft and economics (and more), please get in touch. My aim isn’t to make the whole Panth conform to my way of thinking, only to ask those of you who want a more strategic, pro-active long-term approach to our Azaadi to step forward and make yourselves known.
