It has been 74 days since the Farmers Protest started. There have been numerous human rights violations, 125 deaths (and counting), and over 100 people are missing.
This protest had 250 million protesters unite in one location, and made history. And yet no one is talking about it. There has been no media support, and the Indian government is labeling farmers as terrorists. 
These farmers are fighting to keep control over their land and to ensure that they will not be taken advantage of Big Corporations. In these bills, they loss any support they once had, they can not longer decide what crop they want to produce, and can not negotiate what price they want to sell their product. This video does a great job simplifying the problem
The Indian Government has refused to meet with the farmers. These bills were passed with out any consolation with farmers. Of the 1.3 billion people in India, more than 70% rely on the Agriculture sector, and over the last decade they have been suffering. This will only worsen with the passing of the three bills. This link gives a summary as to when this started and what the consequences will be if nothing is done to help these farmers and labors. 
Over the last 74 days, there have been serious cases of police brutality, through the use of tear gas, beating sticks, and water canons. The government has banned internet access to the areas that the protests were being held, and services such as food, water, and access to toilets have been cut off at protest borders. Any journalist or activist speaking about this cause has been arrested or detained. There have been cases in which officers have abducted protestors and they are holding them without bail. This is further described by the Human Rights Watch organization

Ok. It's a political post. Usually tumblr is my safe space but things are getting out of hands (have been for a while tbh).
Farmers in India have been protesting since September against three farm laws that would put them at the mercy of the corporations. These laws were passed without proper discussion and a dubious session in the Rajya Sabha, which is the Upper House of Legislature in Indian government (equivalent to the senate in us gov, i think). Farmers have been protesting in Punjab for 2 months until they decided to protest in the capital of India, New Delhi. Since late November, these people have been protesting outside the Delhi border, in the cold, rain. Over 70 people have died.
On 26th January, the Republic Day, a day celebrated to commemorate the occasion on which the Indian Constitution officially came into effect in 1950, farmers all over the country decided to hold a tractor rally. These protests are organised by multiple farm unions from all over India. One group decided to storm the Red Fort, and raise the Nishan Sahib (not the flag of Khalistan, a separatist movement) in one of the pillars at Red Fort. Some find this problematic because traditionally the Red Fort is where the PM unfurls the tricolour on Republic Day. Some do not because Nishan Sahib and the tricolour have existed side by side. Nishan Sahib is not anti India. Violence also occurred at Red Fort and other parts of the rally. Two culprits have been named in this incidents. Farm unions have distanced themselves away from them because this is not what they had planned and they do not support it. One of the culprits have past connections to the ruling party BJP. Farmers have returned to the Delhi border.
The media has been absolutely useless in all of these. National tv media has labelled the farmers as terrorists and anti national. The media in India is absolutely sold out to the ruling party. Think of Fox News, and every channel is Fox News and tripping on acid. You can compare them to Radio Rwanda. If it wasn't for digital media, we wouldn't know the truths. Naturally, they have declared the 26th incidence as something similar to that of the Capitol insurrection, which is frankly insulting. These farmers are protesting for their rights, not some white supremacist believing in a conspiracy theory. Besides, the Red Fort is a public space, not a restricted area like the us capitol. Red Fort is tourist spot, not the seat of the government. Most importantly, the media won't report on the multiple instances of peaceful protests that happened in the rest of the country, when men, women, and children took part, where the common people of Delhi welcomed the farmers with flowers. There's no denying violence happened, but that wasn't the only part.
Now here is the problem. This government has a pattern.
Tumblr media
As I said the Red Fort incidence was from someone with previous links to the ruling party. Violence happened and one farmer even died. The Godi media (godi means lap in hindi, since the media is sitting in the lap of the government) has maligned the farmers. On 28th there were "locals" who protesting against the farmers. They pelted stones while the police watched from the sidelines. There's no concrete evidence, but many believe them to be hired goons to incite violence.
Tumblr media
They even joined in the violence.
Tumblr media
Arrests have already begun, people are missing and internet has been shut. Last time it had happened, was during the Delhi riots last year over CAA-NRC. Its very likely to happen again.
We need to get more people talking about this, specially in the international community. Spread the word.
Tagging the desi mutuals I can think of. More information is always welcome but please make sure they are accurate. Sanghis dni. @chennai-expression @more-like-reyna @mango-pickle @crowleyisactuallyanasexualsname @didyouputyournameinthegobi @fandoms-fiend @fangirlfannning @allthingsmarvel100 @thequirkybookaholic @fandom-food-fire
We need to support the farmers guys. They feed us. We can't leave them alone.

If you are outside India, I am practically begging you to reblog this
Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.
In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.
India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded
Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.
Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.
Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists
India has already seen too much religious violence, please please signal boost this, call your representatives, make them aware, get them to make statements. The only thing India and its dictator Modi care about is its image abroad

y’all… u dont understand how much writing in the tags of someone’s creation means to them.. whether it’s fanart, a graphic, fanfic..,, there’s a 99% chance that person looks through their tags and a single opinionated comment in the tags can rlly brighten their day it’s just a rlly wonderful thing to see
