The Farm Law Protests mask the Blatant Inequality of Rural Punjab where Dalit farm labour derisively known as seeri are oppressed.
If these poor labour demand any pay increase, they are boycotted by landlords often with collusion of district administration.
In fact, over time, this has become a time-tested political strategy in rural Punjab and such boycotts could potentially last for years.
At the heart of it, the issue is purely socioeconomic but has become irreversibly political and religious now.
