Abstract

It was a big day for the farmers, media, and the people living around the three borders of the Indian capital New Delhi on 19th November 2021 when the Prime Minister announced to roll back the three controversial farm laws which sparked the yearlong farmers’ protest, making the life of the people in and around the national capital a hell. Throughout these protests, supporters and opponents of the farm laws took to twitter to express themselves. So, the researcher planned to analyze tweets between the day this repeal was announced and the day when farmers eventually ended their protests to understand the sentiments of the users on this rollback. The researcher selected the tweets with the help of seven popular hashtags on this issue. The researcher found after the sentiment analysis that the mood was largely moderately negative to very negative on the repeal of the farm laws.
