March 6, 2021 is being observed as a ‘black day’ by farmers. They have every reason for observing it as such. Marking the 100th day of their agitation has become another milestone. About 250 farmers have lost their lives during protest since it began on November 26, 2020, but remained almost peaceful barring only a few incidents of violence such as witnessed on the Republic day. Large participation of even women and older farmers is its unique feature. Government even resorted to inhuman actions such as digging around the protest sites, trying to obstruct essential supplies like food and water, and police action, but the agitators braved all including the biting cold of the winter under open sky, and are prepared to continue their agitation even under the scorching sun of the summer, and the rain thereafter.
