[The Kisan [Farmers’] Commune in India: The Twenty-Fourth Newsletter (2021)](https://thetricontinental.org/newsletterissue/24-kisan-comune/)
from the [Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research](https://thetricontinental.org/).

On 26 June 2021, tens of thousands of Indian farmers will gather in front of the government offices in India’s twenty-eight states. They will come to commemorate the completion of seven months of their nation-wide protest against the extreme right Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This gathering will be part of a long cycle of protests that started on 26 November 2020 as part of a day-long general strike of 250 million Indian workers and peasants. Since November, tens of thousands of farmers, or kisans, have surrounded India’s capital, New Delhi, forming a Kisan [Farmers’] Commune. This Commune came to being 150 years after the [Paris Commune](https://thetricontinental.org/text-paris-commune/), out of whose defeat, Marx [wrote](https://thetricontinental.org/newsletterissue/21-paris-commune/), would rise the next experiment with socialist democracy. The Kisan Commune, standing alongside Venezuela’s comunas and South Africa’s land occupations, is one such experiment.

[La Comuna Kisan (‘campesina’) en India. Boletín 24 (2021)](https://thetricontinental.org/es/newsletterissue/24-comuna-kisan/)
El 26 de junio de 2021, decenas de miles de campesinxs se reunirán frente a los edificios de gobierno de los veintiocho estados de India. Se congregarán para conmemorar que se cumplen siete meses de la gran protesta a nivel nacional contra el gobierno de extrema derecha del primer ministro Narendra Modi y el Partido Bharatiya Janata (BJP por su sigla en inglés). Esta concentración será parte de un largo ciclo de protestas que comenzó el 26 de noviembre de 2020 como parte de una jornada de huelga general a la que se plegaron 250 millones de trabajadorxs y campesinxs. Desde noviembre, decenas de miles de trabajadorxs, o kisans, han rodeado la capital de India, Nueva Delhi, formando la Comuna Kisan (‘campesina’). Esta Comuna se ha formado 150 años después de la [Comuna de París](https://thetricontinental.org/es/texto-comuna-de-paris/), a partir de cuya derrota, [escribió](https://thetricontinental.org/es/newsletterissue/21-comuna-de-paris/) Marx, se alzaría el próximo experimento de democracia socialista. La Comuna Kisan, junto a las comunas de Venezuela y las ocupaciones de tierra en Sudáfrica, es uno de esos experimentos.
