India Farmers Clash With Police as Protests Mount

In New Delhi, thousands of farmers have been protesting for two months against three farm laws introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. The farmers argue that the laws favor corporate control over agriculture, while the government claims they will boost farmers' earnings. On India's Republic Day, farmers planned a tractor parade to highlight their demands but clashed with police, leading to violence and entry into the Red Fort. These events may shift public opinion against the farmers and aid the government in passing the laws.
