Explanation:
Thousands of Indian farmers began 10-day protests on Friday demanding farm loan waivers and higher prices for produce, such as cereals, oilseeds and milk.
Farmers from the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan are also asking for a guaranteed minimum income for farmers.
This is the third major protest by farmers in less than a year. In March, more than 40,000 marched from far-flung districts in the state of Maharashtra to reach the seat of government in the state capital, Mumbai.
The farmers are asking for government support to address the crisis in a sector that employs the majority of the country's workforce.
Last week, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) suffered defeat in a by-election to a parliamentary seat in a sugar-producing region of Uttar Pradesh state amid late payment for farm produce.

- They were not given the deserved compensation for their crops as well.
- The Indigo Revolt of 1859 was one of the major protests from Indians against British Raj.
