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.

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

"There is an eerie silence as one enters the lane leading up to Shahi Jama Masjid in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal city. Just a day before, the area was in shambles as local Muslims, protesting against a court-ordered survey of the mosque and a Hindutva mob shouting genocidal slogans, were fired upon by the Uttar Pradesh Police, killing five people."

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.

Mass protests are taking place in India after a female doctor was found mutilated, sexually assaulted and murdered. Medics want protection and a better working environment - but many expect little to change. Hundreds of doctors and medical staff were protesting on the streets of Delhi this weekend against the brutal rape and murder of their colleague. It is an unprecedented campaign that has resulted in a 24-hour strike at all government hospitals. They were also being joined in solidarity by private practitioners across the country.

Hi, i wanted to bring radblr's attention to what's happening in india and you seem like a popular blog on radblr so please post this. Our country is burning. 13 heinous rape cases in the span of a week. A doctor working in a top medical college in the country was brutally raped and murdered. There are widespread protests in the country and amid the protests goons broke into the hospital and thrashed everything to destroy evidence. We don't feel safe in this country. We dont trust our government. Law enforcement is a joke. Please we need international help. Women of india need your help. Please spread this message as much as you can. We want to make this protest international. This protest is a turning point in our history. We need all the support you can give us right now

That is horrifying, I am so sorry. I hope you manage to spread the news everywhere.

the murder-rape case that has occurred in India is not something new.

it happens almost everyday and everyday some woman is silenced because the person who commints the crime is someone she knows or a family member.

people somehow overlook every fucking thing when it comes to safety of women. people who say "it's her fault why was she alone" and "rape is more the woman's fault then the man's" are not the exception but the fucking norm.

rape jokes and sexual assaults are taken so lightly. domestic violence and assaults are taken so lightly.

a bengal minister had the fucking balls to say "the woman who are rallying don't come running to me if your husband beats you"

the fucking chief minister is blaming the victim.

woman's safety is a fucking joke in this country. it is unsafe for us here.

and phirse case hota phirse log chaar din ke loye gussa and then again nothing fucking happens.

do something. be fucking aware. ladhki ki galti nahi ki wo apni work place, school, college, ghar pe safe nahi. admi ki hai and for the love of everything stop blaming the victim
