Abstract

In an extreme incident, one protestor was killed from what the initial autopsy indicated, was a bullet wound. Protesting farmers in India have once again taken to the streets, not unlike many other European and Latin American countries. Their demands range from a fixed minimum support price (MSP) to a pension for farmers post the age of 60 among others. While farmers from different north Indian states are protesting the reluctance of the central government to respect their requests, events have unfolded rather grimly on the Punjab-Haryana border. Farmers from Punjab are being stopped by the Haryana Police from marching forward to Delhi
