Indian comedian Daniel Fernandes joins us from his home in Mumbai to explain why India's farmers have been on strike since November, 2020. They have built Burning Man style campsites on the outskirts of New Delhi in protests of Prime Minister Modi's laws to privatize their previously subsidized farming industry. With donations coming in from around the world the farmers have been able to hold firm, but Modi seems set in his decisions on the other side as well. Who will give in first? We go to Daniel for the answers.
