Farmers in India, especially in Punjab and Haryana, have been protesting against the three agriculture laws enacted by the central government this year. While the government argues that these reforms will remove the middlemen and enhance farmers' income, the farmers maintain that the laws will mean largescale withdrawal of government support and replacement of existing middlemen with more powerful large corporates.

The protests have escalated. Thousands of farmers have blocked road routes in New Delhi.
