No. Modi & his BJP party are in bed with big business. Just as Democrats/ Republicans sing the same song! Corrupt to the core!

Big global corporations want to dictate the price of the crop, basically to subjugate them. No different from the serfs under Czar Nicholas, who didn't deem the serfs worthy of being anything other then serfs, subjected to his will. The majority of the population are self sufficient farmers. Destroy their livelihood, its akin to letting Amazon or Wal-Mart move in, and then wondering why no one else can compete.

If the global corporations control all food - think they're going to be Ultraist?
