Two new books, 'Farmer Power' by Sudhir Kumar Suthar and 'Hope for Everyone' by Virinder Singh Kalra, offer comprehensive accounts of the 2020-21 farmers' protest. Suthar frames the movement as 'farmer power,' challenging notions of peasant passivity and market-led reform. Kalra views it as a collective experiment in hope and solidarity against authoritarian capitalism. Both books analyze the Delhi border encampments, positioning the protest as a significant mass mobilization central to discussions on democracy and agrarian change, while also highlighting areas for further economic and policy analysis.
