PRAGOTI

While there has been a lot of talk about the visit of US President Obama, the media has chosen to ignore the "Strategic Cooperation” in Agriculture, food security and related areas. The direction of these negotiations points clearly to a corporate take-over of Indian agriculture. Like any trader the American establishment came to sell their wares at the most profitable terms and they went satisfied. Indian ruling classes sold our interests and kowtowed to their imperialist masters. What was missed in the media cacophony was the impact of the visit on the Indian masses, the peasantry and the rural poor. Vijoo Krishnan writes.
