The intersectional nature of social movements is an emerging area of study for researchers. This paper examines how caste, class, gender, and religious dimensions intersect and shape the contemporary Farmers’ Movement in Western Uttar Pradesh. A recent upsurge in discontent over three central government bills has contributed to new mobilizations in this region. Earlier research on farmers’ movements often reflected limited awareness and low technology among farmers, constraining activity to specific localities. By contrast, recent movements have expanded beyond local boundaries, leveraging social media, digital technologies, and independent journalism to organize and disseminate information. This study analyzes the evolving patterns of the Western Uttar Pradesh farmers’ movements to illuminate the sociological dimensions of both Social Movements and New Social Movements. The paper has two primary objectives: (1) to analyze how caste, class, gender, and religion influence the trajectory of the recent movement in Western Uttar Pradesh; and (2) to examine emerging trends and shifts in the nature of the movement. Employing an intersectionality framework, the analysis explains how these social dimensions intersect to shape the structure, practices, and direction of the farmers’ movement in Uttar Pradesh.
