Worlds Largest Protest - India's largest worker solidarity movement

In India, where agriculture is the leading source of income for more than half of India’s 1.3 billion people, hundreds of thousands of farmers are converging on the capital New Delhi to demand the government repeal new laws that deregulate agricultural markets. Farmers say the neoliberal reforms give corporations staggering power to set crop prices far below current rates, devastating their livelihoods. The farmer revolt comes just a few weeks after roughly 250 million workers across the country took part in the largest strike in history against the Modi government’s labor reforms. P. Sainath, journalist and founder of People’s Archive of Rural India, explains that the reason for the record-breaking worker solidarity movement was the “absolutely vicious” new rules that were rammed through Parliament. Protests show no signs of stopping.
