On Monday, 29 November, the Narendra Modi government's farm laws died an ignominious death with a hastily passed Repeal Bill.
The farm laws were passed as Acts of Parliament a year ago, though 'passed' is a presumptuous word to use here given the way they were bulldozed through both Houses, including a dubious voice vote in the Rajya Sabha.
However, their questionable history began even before the shambolic scenes in Parliament, when they were promulgated as ordinances in June 2020.
