Indian farmers beat a burning mock corpse representing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while blocking a major highway to mark 100 days of the ongoing farmer protests against new farm laws along the Delhi-Haryana border near New Delhi, India, Saturday, March 6th, 2021. Thousands of farmers have hunkered down outside New Delhi’s borders since late November to voice their anger against 3 laws passed by Parliament last year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government says the laws are necessary to modernize agriculture but farmers say they will leave them poorer and at the mercy of big corporations. |
