Not just the world, but celebrities across Bollywood are also quiet, people from our own Punjabi community within Bollywood are not as vocal. Afraid to support the kisaan (farmer) because of their close relationships with Modi and one of the richest families in India — the Ambani’s. Bollywood has used Punjab whenever it has suited them and exploited it to sell some box office hits. Yet when Punjab could’ve used the support of their fellow countrymen, Bollywood has remained silent. Just to put into perspective, here are a few movies that were based on Punjab or Sikhs — DDLJ, Pardes, Veer Zara, Soldier, Bhagat Singh, Kesari, Sacred Games, Gadar Ek Prem Katha, Son of Sardaar, Rocket Singh, Border, Singh is King, Dil Bole Hadippa, etc. This is the same Bollywood community that selectively supported the BLM movement and then posted about All Lives Matter after getting flack on an Instagram story, all while leaving out the Sikh community as a whole in its post. They exploit our culture, but don’t support us! They remain silent on the injustices happening to their own people.

The police brutality had just started, however. There are pictures circulating all over social media of police beating 70 year old men. I watched a video of someone from Bihar who put it in the best way to ignite some compassion in his countrymen — it wasn’t a police officer hitting an elderly man. It was a son beating his father.

While the police brutality continued, I continued to search social media to see if any of the mainstream outlets were discussing our plight. Needless to say really, but there wasn’t any posts on social media. At the time, BBC News has been one of the only media outlets posting about the plight of farmers from the beginning. I am disappointed (but not surprised) with how little media attention has been given to the Punjabi farmers protest by CBC, CTV, Global News, CNN, CP24, etc. And how literally no one outside of my own community has posted about it nor has Bollywood. You know when people complained and were shocked/stunned about the police brutality during the BLM movement, we posted in their support. We posted to help raise awareness to their injustices. Now we have the Indian police committing the same atrocities and against our grandparents, the world is silent.

At the Ambala border, several tear gas shells were fired at the protesters. At the Shambhu border, protesters were pelting stones at the Haryana police. All of the government’s efforts to stop these farmers from entering Delhi were ineffective. There was an emotional toll of watching a man that could be my grandfather being beaten by the police, tear gassed, and water cannons spraying him in the middle of winter.

Finally, we have the issue of the storage facilities. Farmers would be required to store their goods for approximately six months. Prior to the farmers bill, farmers were unable to store goods for this long. The mandi system allowed the farmers to sell their crops as they were ready to be sold. The problem with this aspect of the farmers bill is that they are already debt-ridden and would have to come up with ways to now build a storage facility. Farmers are already committing suicide at alarming rates in India (and probably across the world). If these farmers have to store their goods for six months, farmers are saying they are only going to make approximately 3 rupees. Want that in Canadian dollars? That’s $0.053 Canadian dollars. American dollars? That’s $0.041 U.S. Let that sink in! This is the power of lobbyists and corporations. We live in a world where money has taken precedence over humanity and compassion.

In the meantime, Haryana’s own farmers came out to help their brothers and sisters chanting “Delhi Chalo”. Many leaders and protesters were taken into custody. Barricade by barricade, the protesters marched on. They moved cemented barriers, iron barricades and parked large trucks by hand and tractors. Police even resorted to digging the road as a blockade, which would prevent the trucks, tractors, etc. from proceeding. But the farmers pushed on — they refilled those holes and drove their tractors over that soil. Farmers jumped on the trucks where water was being sprayed on them and turned them off.

The kisaan have taken six months worth of food to protest the government. There are many more going to Delhi as we speak bringing essential supplies with them. They will not back down, and I hope and pray for their safety while pushing back against a government that has turned its back on the very hand that feeds it.

And in the midst of the above, the Indian media and government were trying to fuel controversy and conspiracy theories about the Punjabi farmers to the Indian population. Of course, this is nothing knew for Sikh’s across the world. The Indian government has been saying that the farmers are tied to political parties and labelling them terrorists. There is no political agenda other than repealing the farmers bill. There is no conspiracy theory. And at the same time, while our own community was trying to raise awareness of what was going on in India on social media, and specifically on Instagram, a whole religion was blocked. The hashtag #Sikh was blocked for the second time this year. The first time during the anniversary of the attacks on the Golden Temple and the Delhi riots when Sikh’s were attacked. And this time, even if you tried to search #Sikh or #Sikhism, nudity posts would show up on our feed. You tell me where the conspiracy is? Farmers fighting for their rights or the Indian government trying to censor us?

On November 26th, 2020, the Punjabi farmers in the tens of thousands took to the streets and made their way to Delhi to protest against the Indian government. Grandparents, parents, children alike travelled by foot, cars, buses, and tractors — demanding justice for their right to a fair wage and to reverse the farmers bill (which has now come into effect). On the way to Delhi, the Punjabi farmers were stopped at one barricade after another at State borders. The first in Haryana where additional police forces were sent to prevent the farmers from entering their state. Cranes were used to put boulders on the roads and traffic had come to a standstill. The police pushed back with water cannons. Mind you it’s winter time in India right now and the police are using water cannons against these peaceful protesters who are marching to Delhi.

Once the news broke out of the farmers bill, the protests erupted across the nation. But the world didn’t take notice of the injustice. October passed. Most of November passed. Reports of some discussions with the Indian government never materialized an agreement between the Indian government or the farmers unions. Specifically, one of the amendments requested by the farmers union was ensuring that the MSP and mandi system be included in the farmers bill.

And do not forget that Punjab de Sher and Sherni’s once fought the Mughals and fought against colonialism (the British) — when you anger that lion, it will roar! These tricks you played have awoken us. This very community you wish to always suppress is the one that has always given back to its country, whether it’s our brothers and sons enlisting in the army to fight for India or the protesters feeding the very policemen that beat them hours earlier. The Sikh community has always been a charitable one and sacrificed itself, either forcefully or on its own accord, for the good of this very nation that suppresses it.

gument for consumers to be on board with their packages shipped to access points is that it avoids having packages sit in a lobby or on a stoop where they could be rained on, stolen, or used by burglars as a tip-off to an unattended home. Eventually, some communities may choose to set up their own neighborhood access points to get that security benefit, notes Bryant Walker Smith, a University of South Carolina law professor who specializes in transportation technology. To sweeten the deal, shippers could offer discounts for shipping to access points, rewarding consumers for taking the trouble to head there to get their packages. “It’s a model of shifting some of the delivery work to the end user,” Smith says.

But we do have one actress who did talk about the kisaan. She chose to call the Sikh farmers terrorists. We also have Bollywood actors turned politicians from the BJP in Punjab — like MP Sunny Deol and MP Kirron Kher — again silent on the issue. However, we do have MP Kher’s husband, a fellow actor, supporting the farmers bill.

Today, there may be a continent and ocean between us, but that won’t stop us from supporting our brothers, sisters, parents, and grandparents in Punjab. For those sidelining this protest arguing that it is a Khalistani movement, you are tarnishing history being made when our 70 year old grandparents are marching for their right to a fair living, this is a kisaani movement. The kisaan’s are fighting for their future and their grandchildren’s futures. Come back to reality and stop degrading our families.

When more than 50,000 farmers are marching to protest their livelihoods and doing it in the midst of COVID-19, they know they have no choice but to fight for their right to a
