Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) (lit. 'Joint Farmers' Force' or 'United Farmers Front'[1]), formed in November 2020, is a coalition of over forty Indian farmers' unions to coordinate satyagragh (non-violent resistance) against the three farm acts initiated in September of the same year.[2]
The SKM in opposing the three farm laws has asserted that laws are an unwelcome imposition on the farmers,[3] violate the constitution,[4][5][6][7] are anti-farmer[5][7] and pro big business.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
