Is there any salary data available for ex-cons in tech jobs? Ideally they shouldn't be discriminated against but I am not sure if that's the norm.

That's the reason why the protests lacks large-scale support across the country.

> On the contrary, they facilitate the gradual takeover of control from the APMCs to government-tied cronies
That's oft-repeated claim that lacks serious backing. If that were true all farmer associations must have opposed the laws which is not happening[1].

r/India is an anti-Modi partisan sub. The last I checked they were expecting Biden administration to interfere in India's internal matters. Not a surprise since we still have a good number of Mir jaffers and Jai chands in the country. The unfortunate thing is that's the first place where foreign redditors will go whenever they want to see something India related.
All that aside, it's still a good place to see some meltdowns.

It's not clear if the laws do "adversly" affect interest of all farmers. The laws target APMC's monopsony which has been already diluted by many states, which means that farmers are not totally dependent on APMC. Hence in many areas farmers are largely indifferent and in certain are clearly supporting the laws[1]. In Punjab and Haryana, the mandatory procurement by FCI(regardless of the demand) and the APMC system works to its maximum efficiency[2]. Hence the large scale support there.
