‘Anyone trying to harm the protesters will have to deal with us first,’ they say. FMTNews Sikh India

Indian farmers help each other wear turbans as a sign of pride in their protest against new farm laws at Ghazipur last week.

Tens of thousands of farmers – mostly from the Sikh-dominated Punjab state – have camped at three protest sites on the capital’s outskirts since Nov 26, when police blocked their entry into Delhi following clashes. “This fight is for a just cause and anyone trying to harm the protesters will have to deal with us first,” Singh, flanked by two spear-wielding men, told AFP.

On one side of this wall, are thousands of armed police and paramilitary forces, and on the other, dozens of barefoot Nihangs, armed to the teeth. They played an important role in Punjab for over a century, including defeating Mughals and Afghan kings. In surreal scenes around the fort, Nihangs on horseback joined farmers on tractors and hoisted Sikh religious flags atop the rampart.
