India: “March on Delhi’ – farmers’ protests announced. Around two thirds of the population of 1.4 billion people live from agriculture.
Last wave of protests by farmers began in 2020 and lasted for a year. Wave of protests triggered serious government crisis for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been in power since 2014.
