History of the 'Andolan'

A few weeks ago, while replying to the motion of thanks to the President’s address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi used a term ‘Andolan Jeevi’. His term came in response to the farmers protesting the three farm laws. Terming the “new breed” of agitators “andolan jeevi”, he hit out at those who were fuelling it and said the nation should guard against them.
