Explained: What are the Farm Bills and how will they affect farmers?

Last week, two Farm Bills which bring in sweeping reforms in India's agriculture sector were bulldozed through Parliament. This happened while farmers and Opposition parties were holding widespread protests saying the reforms will be a death knell for India's agriculture sector.

You're probably wondering: Are these Farm Bills good or bad? Are the reforms to the agriculture sector proposed by the Modi government beneficial to farmers, or are they harmful?

Resident Parliament nerd Meghnad S explains what the reforms are all about, and how they will affect farmers.
