India farm protests You may have seen rallies in the lower mainland and around the world supporting Indian farmers who are holding a massive protest that have lasted for months in New Delhi. They are the biggest protests in history. Police have tried to use barricades, ditches and even beaten farmers but nothing has stopped them from coming, many on tractors. This is what it is a about. the size of the protests. People have been are sleeping in the streets. Charity's like Khalsa aid have provided large tents. Today is republic day in India and farmers planned a large tractor protest. police are trying to stop them. Live stream of the massive protests happening right now. Farmer rally Whitehorse Yukon that took place last month. pbs |

Another good video from Vox |
I mean they love Modi like a god, cuz he's all anti Muslim, and voted for him in droves, but he had long been an advocate of decentralizing and deregulation of the agriculture industry, he did similar things as governor of gujarat, it worked really well for him too back then (gujarat had like an incredible growth of their agro industry), granted he didn't cut farmers subsidies (I don't think) but they should've seen it coming I'm impressed that they've been protesting peacefully, and good luck to them, but they kinda gave modi too much power, and it doesn't look like he's going to budge |
Oh wow, another right-wing demagogue voted in by the same people he went ahead and fucked over? I've heard of that before... :lol In every case we see this happen, it's much deserved. When will people learn? |

Saw a couple of interestingly decorated tractors going up Main Street around 3:00 pm today. Pretty sure it was related to this protest. |

This one is a tractor rally from last week in Langley. People who are protesting bought supplies to last them for months. Khalsa Aid a charity out of the U.K. Brought in toilets, tents and a mall where people can get supplies for free. https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/2z...e21105cc4dc2a9 https://images.newindianexpress.com/...OULD_BE_As.jpg http://dailysikhupdates.com/wp-conte...95351725_o.jpg |
Greta Thunberg under investigation for posting a tweet supporting farmers. The tweet had a link to a toolkit that showed people how to support farmers. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/delh...ndtv_topscroll Toolkit: https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view...7OD1YHDiBUj0Y/ Grown men burning pictures of Greta in India. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...rmers-protests The government of India and its supporters looking stupider every day. NFL player JuJu Smith-Schuster donated 10K to help the farmers. Rihanna posted on twitter about the farmers and now other celebrities have followed. Indian government supporters are calling her a porn singer. https://i.redd.it/qmzhnhtmn3f61.jpg Singer Diljit Dosanjh who has been supporting the farmers since day one released this song about her. Music by Surreys Intense. |
I noticed a lot of people complaining that Indian celebrities and athletes aren't supporting the farmers, even though westerners are. Really sets up a divide doesn't it? |
Westerners want something to support/complain about, celebrities want something they can complain about safely that won't hurt their wallets, and make their fans think they care You don't see celebrities protesting about uighurs in concentration camps, and uighur women being raped and sterilised. The latter being a big issue for feminist celebrities too, but protesting that would mean their movies and advertising deals being nixed in China Same reason Indian celebrities staying out of this, and HK celebrities staying quiet during the riots, except for a few, who are now blacklisted |
Some Indian celebs have come out to support the farmers after Rihanna came out. Many Punjabi singers have been supporting the farmers. Most celebs in India are afraid of the government and the billionaires behind the bill. Government supporters have threatened to rape and kill Gretta and have made fun of Rihanna being beat up by Chris Brown. Diljit Dosanjh has been beefing with actress and government mouthpiece Kangana Ranaut. https://www.google.com/search?client...kangana+ranaut Quote:

After over a year of protests the Indian government has repealed the farm laws!!!! https://www.livemint.com/news/india/...291720812.html Quote:

half of his policies are not thought thru. gst, demonetization, and this to name a few. he is a populist leader, Donald trump of India. i for one don't hope he's re-elected. but then again, no real opposition leader either. |
It’s been a year since I researched this, but that’s great news |
Great news, and I'm sure the Surrey Jacks driving around in their Escalades honking in front of the Indian Consulate downtown is what tipped Modi's hand. |
Lol Yea, never seen so many Rolls Royce together then when I was driving home in the midst of the protest. |
