In India, millions of farmers are in the middle of a 10-day strike to demand debt relief and higher prices for their produce. The strike, launched on June 1, has caused vegetable prices to jump as much as 10 percent in major Indian cities, as the farmers withhold their produce from markets. The ongoing protest spans eight states across India, most of which are ruled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s BJP party. It follows a similar strike last year, during which police shot and killed five striking farmers in the central state of Madhya Pradesh exactly one year ago today.
