Farmers Protest 2020-2021
Farmers in great numbers struggled with cold and harsh conditions living in their tractor trolleys at the borders of Delhi for months in a non-violent protest against the 3 farm bills passed by the government of India. Elders, women, men and children at the borders of Delhi. Many lost their lives. What started with farmers of Punjab and then Haryana had gained momentum across the country with farmers joining hands and giving their support all over. It was heart warming to see their resistance and resilience.
New Year’s eve, Singhu Border
Cold night and some tea
Make shift rooms in the trollies
People from the neighbouring areas would also dine with the farmers.
Sleeping arrangements for the night.
Langar, community kitchen run by volunteers
As the night sets in, temperatures drop.
Kirtan in a tractor trolley
Sometimes even the chardi Kala or buoyant spirits elude you.
