Tens of thousands marched on the capital, New Delhi, as 250 million people around the nation participated in a 24-hour general strike in solidarity. The moment’s energy spread across the globe. Over the weekend, in cities all across the U.S., Indian-American protesters and their allies took to the streets. They demonstrated in support of disenfranchised farmers, and to educate their neighbors about a massive struggle playing out on the other side of the globe.
