1998 Multai farmer massacre

The 1998 Multai farmer massacre refers to a tragic incident that occurred on January 19, 1998, in the town of Multai, located in Madhya Pradesh, India. During a violent clash between local farmers and police forces, a group of protesting farmers advocating for land rights and better conditions were met with police resistance, resulting in the deaths of several demonstrators. The incident arose from longstanding grievances related to agrarian distress, inadequate compensation for land acquisitions, and government indifference to the plight of farmers in the region. The massacre sparked widespread outrage and led to calls for accountability, highlighting the ongoing struggles facing the agricultural community in India. Subsequently, it raised critical discussions about police brutality, agrarian reform, and the rights of farmers.
