The statement regarding private sector investment IS worrying to me. It undermines the mildly framed sentence in defence of the right to protest, demonstrating very clearly the priorities.

We need to be crystal clear - as long as American multinationals are embedded in, or looking to profit from, the agricultural sector in India, this is going to block any attempts to leverage American state power to deter Modi.

This really shines a light on what the Boycott that the Kisaans called for needs to look like - divestment. A movement pushing for divestment will hit India economically, and will force their hand. I cannot see anything else having any leverage.

I hope the Kisaans confirm their call for Boycott can be expanded.
