It is a chilly winter morning at the Singhu border near Delhi. The highway that once connected Delhi to Haryana, is now chock-a-block with tractors and trucks parked by farmers protesting against the Centre’s three farm bills. Freshly made tea is being served. An elderly farmer ties his turban looking into his tractor’s mirror. Few boys play volleyball between the tractors and above them flutters the flag of Bhartiya Kisan Union. A few yards away, a group of women chatters away as they chop onions for the next meal. Slogans and songs that hail revolution are heard from a distance.
