MASSIVE FARMER'S PROTESTS OUTSIDE INDIAN CAPITAL AND ACROSS THE NORTH OF THE COUNTRY

📹 Massive protests are confronted with teargas, armed police with rubber bullets and drones as thousands of farmers, mostly in India's northern Punjab region, protest on Tuesday demanding a Minimum Support Price or MSP for all crops to raise farmer's income.

Dozens of Farmer's unions participated in the strikes, calling for a "Delhi Chalo" or March to Delhi.

Police in and around the capital have erected barriers on highways surrounding New Delhi, and have begun firing tear gas and rubber bullets at the approaching farmers.

Tractors, along with thousands of farm hands, are seen in footage nearing the outskirts of New Delhi, in the northern Haryana state, being confronted by officers with gas and smoke bombs, including some dropped from buzzing drones overhead.

Authorities have shut down Internet services in some areas where protestors approach, and have erected concrete roadblocks and barriers, while local officials have banned public gatherings and are deploying extra security personnel.

Officials in New Delhi emphasized that sufficient police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed to all entry points to the city.

Farmers are demanding dozens of changes, including a new MSP or floor price for crops to increase and guarantee farmer income, as well as a full debit waiver, according to local union officials.

Political officials in New Delhi say they're open to talks, with Agriculture Minister, Arjun Munda telling reporters on Tuesday that the Federal government already is "bound to protect the interest of farmers."

"Farmers also need to understand that inconvenience shouldn’t be caused to the public,” Minister Munda said, adding the government was always ready for negotiations with the Farmer's unions.

“We are ready to do everything possible to find a solution to this issue,” he said.

someone wore this to the cricket world cup final in india. the channels broadcasting turned away the cameras and played ads.

he walked in front of millions AND the prime minister of India.

through this person's incredible bravery, Indians who stand with Palestine, Indians who have to spend their days under a fascist regime, have a representation that does them justice.

our voices of dissent have been crushed through harrowing persecution.

in 1981, India issued a postage stamp with the Indian and Palestinian flags flying side by side, and the words "Solidarity with the Palestinian people." India was the first non-arab country to recognize the state of Palestine.

the country i have lived in for 18 years is a dignified member of the post-colonial world. its citizens have moral backbones. they are often murdered or imprisoned for having it.

#i am so ecstatic that this person is not an indian citizen because otherwise... #everybody else in my country suffers due to these fascist maniacs who seek to represent us #and if i get any freaks interacting with this : i am not muslim #i am a bengali hindu and despite the vitriol hindutva maniacs spew online we have had some of the largest protests here in india #hopefully one day we too will be safe in our own country #palestine #free palestine #gaza genocide #gaza #gaza strip #gaza under attack #genocide #decolonisation #settler colonialism #imperialism #india #indiavsaustralia #india vs australia #australia #cricket world cup 2023

"After the crucial second round of talks with the government failed to make any headway, the protesting farmers carried on with their Delhi Chalo march on Tuesday. There were reports of chaos on the Punjab-Haryana Shambhu border as the Haryana police fired teargas shells as farmers tried to break the erected barricades. Drones have been deployed to keep track of farmers’ movements, most of whom are on tractors.

Delhi has imposed Section 144 throughout the city for 30 days, erected barricades and iron spikes on the borders to prevent the farmers from entering the Capital.

Internet and bulk SMS services were suspended for Tuesday in seven districts of Haryana- Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad and Sirsa. Several farmer leaders’ social media accounts were also reportedly blocked the previous day.

The farmers’ protest, being led by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, has been demanding legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops, as promised by the BJP-led government at the Centre, among other demands like loan waiver and implementation of the MS Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations. The farmers participating in the protest are mainly from Punjab and Haryana."

sometimes i get very passionate about my job and how important it can be to give an accurate history of a moment in american history that's frequently referenced but which the general public in america has a lot of misconceptions about

and other times i spend an unproductive day trying to explain outdated tax law to a child who isn't equipped to understand, but who is very intent on asking "why?" repeatedly and i think maybe i understand why this protest specifically gets misrepresented and glossed over in schools.

#messages from the ouija board #sadies day job #also! im the ship person which means i see each group for 15 min tops. and people go 'hey so why do we still have taxes if we won the war' #and theres like 5 min until the next group comes down and my hands are cold and i gotta be like #'it was about parliament and the east india company and thats not actually what the war was /about/ #the retaliation for this protest just created more unrest and thats what led to the war and taxes that pay for infrastructure are good #please direct the rest of your questions to the man in the silly wig hope this helps' and then i gotta shoo them into the building #its not exactly an efficient way to teach history tbh! but im doing my best #in fairness to our site a lot of the questions about Afterward get answered later on the tour #but sometimes the questions are very specific and im like great question! heres a book rec! sorry!

#reminded me of a lecture in college on 19th century victorian literature. mill on the floss i think. the professor spoke of how #agrarian society was in tune with temporal cycle of nature. seasons religious days tides etc. with the first industrial revolution saw a #dramatic shift in the human experience of time with clocks and timekeeping mostly for the time labourers spent toiling in factories #mentioned how time was now 'spent' rather than 'passed'; leisure was taken completely out of daily life. things became task-oriented which #kept on increasing. the factories would tamper with the clock to keep increasing the time labourers worked on the floor. #you can't tamper with the sun and moon now can you? #anyway this also brings to mind the demand for separate timezones in india #also brings to mind the concept of timesheets and how freelancers charge by the hour. #also brings to mind max weber's protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism for some reason #i side with the luddites

If you think Animal rights activists, Climate activists are going too far, you should know you can't defeat evil by knocking on the door. People with power aren't gonna turn good because you tweet stuff or write a blog.

Words matter I am not denying that, I am a decent person today because of the word I have read. But corruption doesn't go away only with words because actions are far more powerful.

One rich person holds more power & wealth than thousand poor people. You only saying stuff doesn't do any good, not really.

Capitalists only cares about profit, they will do anything to gain profits. But we can change that if we gather ourselves, remember a million ants can kill an elephant.

Wanna change the world? Create political groups, rallies, and protests. Politics is for everyone, that's where everything happens. You should not let random rich arseh0le dictate your future.

WE NEED ANOTHER FRENCH REVOLUTION.

Hi I remember you once posted about a march for Palestine in Kolkata. In that sense, I want to ask if it is safe to send esims as an Indian living in India? I am from west Bengal but I am not sure if it will get me in trouble. I don't really have any money or any social resource to back me up. So this is why I was asking.

Hi! Thanks for the question and I really appreciate you wanting to help.

The easiest and safest way is to find someone from Europe or North America to buy it for you and you pay them the money.

You can also buy it through Simly, HolaFly or NOMAD, and select Middle East regional data plan. NOMAD isn't available in India but you can access it through VPN. I don't mean to sound alarmist and as far as I'm aware there hasn't been any arrests based on search histories, but every state is a surveillance state and the central government does have access to your search history through LIM. If you are worried, I'd recommend doing it from a cyber cafe that you usually don't visit. Here is a guide if you want to go ahead with it.

Here and here are some other ways you can help.

#🦋 #message me if you have any other questions #protests are pretty safe though if you want to join one and both west bengal police and kolkata police has been supportive about it so far #and if you still want to help financially both medical aid and pcrf are still accepting donations and they are available in india now #i donated to medical aid myself and the government did send aid to gaza and it falls under humanitarian aid #so that should be okay

The woke crowd in the West needs to wake up and think instead of blindly chanting "Free Palestine".

ik i've gone on abt this A Lot recently but it genuinely is so exhausting to exist as a queer woman in sports fanbases but especially in football recently because i love the highs and lows of emotions i experience when watching my favourite teams and players but seeing ppl you look up to and admire for their work casually embrace generally shitty people but specifically shitty towards women hurts man, and that's not even to Begin taking about the casual sexism and general queerphobia so many fans display

#like sometimes i just want to give up and shut down this blog man #and it's not just about the recent stuff with utd yk first the greenwood business and now with antony #it's the wrestlers' protests in india back in april/may and the fact that the the govt continues to embrace and #support the accused. even if it comes at the cost of our players not being able to play under the indian flag at all #it's abt the fact that every aspect of indian sports is so overrun with religious nationalism its hard to take pride in india's achievement #when it just fills me with grief instead #and i know im not exempt from criticism because i myself like players and drivers etc that do the very same things im #talking abt and continue to like them and post abt them i just. #idk man. idk. im so tired.
