While India remains glued to UP theatrics, hapless farmers from Tamil Nadu hold bizarre protests in New Delhi; anybody watching?

Several farmers from Tamil Nadu have been protesting at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi for almost three weeks now demanding their loans be waived and a drought-relief package be provided. They have also demanded fair and just prices for their produce. They are determined to make their voices heard by the government even if it involves protesting using bizarre methods. Farmers’ suffering is a common problem in several parts of India with not much solution being visible.
