The Roar of the Tractors has gone global!


Indian celebrities are sold out so foreign celebrities speak out for our Indian farmers! Salute and Respect to Rihanna and Greta Thunberg who drew international attention to farmers' protests in India. The ongoing protests of contentious agriculture laws to deregulate the farming sector has gained some international momentum with Tweets from both Pop star Rihanna and climate activist Greta Thunberg.
Every #INDIAN should stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India.
As Kunal Kamra says
"If you don’t stand in solidarity with farmers & their demands stop calling yourself an Indian, you’re just a BJP supporter."


Why are India's farmers protesting?
-
Farmers are demanding the withdrawal of three new laws that they say will benefit big business at their expense - The government insists the reforms, which will allow big retailers to buy directly from growers, will benefit farmers and draw investment to the farm sector - The government has offered some concessions but has ruled out abandoning the reforms - Farming makes up nearly 15% of India’s $2.9 trillion economy and employs about half its 1.3 billion people — Reuters
