Inside The Farmers Protest 2020

Perhaps the largest farmers’ movement witnessed in India is unfolding right outside the Indian capital, New Delhi. The movement has witnessed not only large crowds swelling into hundreds of thousands, but also violence, and state-sponsored repression. Spearheaded by farmers from the two north Indian states Punjab and Haryana, the protestors are demanding the repeal of 3 new farm laws pushed forward by the central government. VICE World News was on the ground with these protestors to understand why they have been out on the streets, despite harsh weather conditions and the government’s constant reassurance that laws will bring about positive change.
