Bharatiya Kisan Union
The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) is a prominent farmers' organization in India, founded in 1980. It aims to address the issues faced by farmers, advocating for their rights and welfare. The union plays a significant role in mobilizing farmers for protests and negotiations with the government regarding agricultural policies.
BKU has been involved in various movements, particularly against policies perceived as harmful to farmers, such as the controversial farm laws introduced in 2020. The organization seeks to unite farmers across different states, promoting solidarity and collective action to improve their livelihoods and ensure fair treatment in the agricultural sector.
