Hey Jammer,

The largest protest in human history just happened. In late November, over ten times as many protestors — 250 million — marched across India as in the wake of George Floyd's murder this summer.

And who led it? Farmers.

In Delhi, they faced tear gas and water canons as police attempted to quash peaceful demonstrations with brutality. But despite ongoing arrests and crackdowns, the farmers have dug in within the capital.

PM Narendra Modi has made half-hearted efforts to negotiate. Demonstrators demand nothing less than that exploitative new laws be struck down. Who will break the stalemate?

They may not have time on their side, but the farmers and their allies have the numbers. But without immediate revolutionary change, India's current predicament could be a snapshot of the global future in the perilous times to come.
