A little more on the Indian farmer workers strike, the largest workers strike ever in the the world. I personally am delighted to see that the strikers have decided to turn down the latest government offer of postponing the new free market legislation for 18 months for talks to take place. An obvious drawing, out of affairs to weaken the resolve of the strikers. Despite being on strike since 26 November 2020, and camped out in bitterly cold weather, on the outskirts of New Delhi, they have decided that they will not accept any postponement and will settle for nothing less than complete withdrawal of this legislation. Their brave and determined stand deserves brave and determined solidarity and support from across all borders.
