Refer to the two engaging articles ‘India-US trade deal is too costly for farmers’ and ‘Development cannot bypass the farm sector’; each and every clause of the bilateral trade must be discussed threadbare in vital national interest. The US sees a vast market in India to sell its agri products. The corporate farmers in the US cannot be allowed to flourish at the cost of our own small and marginal farmers. The deal should be on an equal footing as sovereign nations. Trump’s ‘my way or the highway’ approach has already sidelined US allies like the EU. Moreover, it is our right to decide our business interests.
