ISMSA Raises Voice for Farmers: A Call for Justice and Empowerment
The International Sanatan Minority Struggle Association (ISMSA) stands firmly in solidarity with the farmers—the backbone of our civilization and the custodians of our ancestral soil. In keeping with our mission to uphold justice, dignity, and human rights for marginalized communities, ISMSA extends its advocacy to the struggles and aspirations of farmers across India and beyond.
Why Farmers Matter
Farmers are not just food providers—they are cultural stewards and vital contributors to the economic and spiritual fabric of Hindu society. Yet today, millions face:
- Land dispossession and unjust land acquisition
- Debt traps and agrarian distress leading to suicides
- Inadequate pricing and market access
- Exploitation by intermediaries and corporations
- Lack of insurance and welfare protections
- Impacts of climate change with minimal support
Our Commitment
ISMSA actively raises the voice of farmers at national and international forums, demanding:
- Fair and transparent agricultural policies
- Legal protection of land rights
- Minimum Support Price (MSP) guarantees
- Debt relief and financial inclusion
- Access to irrigation, seeds, and sustainable practices
- Recognition of traditional, indigenous farming wisdom
Voicing Farmers' Rights Globally
ISMSA engages with:
- United Nations human rights bodies
- Global NGOs focused on food security and rural livelihoods
- Diaspora platforms and cultural institutions
- Indian national forums, state bodies, and parliamentary delegations
Through documented case studies, rural testimonies, policy papers, and grassroots mobilization, we bring international attention to the plight and potential of India’s farmers—especially those from marginalized Hindu communities and remote villages.
