The farmer’s protest in India was a peaceful protest movement where farmers largely from the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand marched towards the nation's capital. This was preceded by over 200 days of agitation by farmers’ unions, who have called the Bills “anti-farmer laws" and believe it will leave them at the “mercy of the corporate”. On 30 November 2020, an estimated crowd of 300,000 farmers converged at the Capital’s borders. The authorities used tear gas and water cannons, dug up roads, and erected barricades to stop the protesters from entering New Delhi. Since then, following Gandhi's way of peaceful and non-violent protest, the farmers, including women, the elderly, and children, camped at the four borders leading to the Capital. They braved the extreme cold, rainfall, and now severe heat, while some made temporary shelters, others lived in their tractor trolleys.
