Your tea, spices, herbs, rice, grain, cloth and much more is grown by the hands and determination of these beautiful farmers. Today, as they have been for months, they continue to protest courageously for their farming rights. The Indian Government passed three farms bills which essentially prioritize interests of corporates over the farmers. Meaning the companies profit, as government would not purchase crops. This leads farmers into more debt and leaving them no choice but to sell their land to these companies that continue to profit, while farmers try to make ends meet. MSP (minimum support price) that farmers are gaurenteed now by the government will be abolished by these three bills.

After peacefully protesting and no reform, farmers marched to Delhi. Mind you, farmers composed of mostly elderly men and women, who have flourished their farmlands and grown their crops with hard work and determination. With no intent of violence, simply continuing on peacefully, farmers were met road blocks, police brutality, water cannons and tear gas. Despite this, farmer prevailed and continued their march with dignity and pride for their rights.

At Delhi, farmers resisted, taking home on the streets and within the blockades, under winter weather. Surrounded by one another, they make langars, to feed one another and the poor around them. They’ve kept their campsites clean, helping one another in keeping their country flourishing. Unfortunately, many farmers have lost their lives under these conditions. Furthermore, the Delhi government shut down the internet, preventing the truth of what takes under these protests to be seen by the world.

Beyond this, many human rights have been abused. Government shut down power and water to protest sites, journalist covering the protests who can educate the public and those of us on the outside have been charged or arrested, many farmers have been reported missing and some dead, activists have been assaulted and abused, and more.

I am disgusted in the Indian government. Our farmers deserve better. They must have their rights. Sick and senseless people in government hold the power and with the snap of their finger, anyone seems to be in the hands of death and brutality. I stand with the farmers of India, I applaud them for their courage and strength and I pray for their well-being.

This is merely a tidbit of what’s happened. I continue to learn more and more each day.

Please take time to educate yourself and understand what is going on beyond your place. Take a moment to read articles, check out social media with plenty of information on the movement. Support the farmers and do your part in fighting for their rights.

No farmers means no food. If you ate, thank the farmers.

Here are some Instagram handles that have done great coverage, are useful to educate yourself self and keep up with what is happening around us.

I credit the accounts above for the knowledge I have obtained through them.

Please do your part. Educate, share and pray for the farmers. I know we have what it takes, to bring this on a wider international level. We did once with the BLM movement, and that was a beautiful and eye opening experience. We can do it again. I believe in our generation. I believe that we hold the power for change, we have the voices and the accessibility to create change. Do your part. 🤎
