Question

Describe the position of the ordinary
people in Indian in this period? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

There’s a recent image that will remain etched in our collective memory for a long time—40,000 farmers from Nashik marching towards Mumbai in scorching heat to demand their rights. The reason it makes for a compelling image is because the farmers joined hands across caste, religion and class lines to demonstrate a simple truth to the establishment and society at large: that ordinary people have the power and potential to bring about change.

All these farmers needed was a common purpose and issue—and a few people to show them a direction. That was enough to start a movement.

For those of us who work in the development sector, the farmer rally is a timely, much-needed reminder to reassess some of our notions and challenge some of the beliefs with which we approach the community.
