After a month of quietly asking the government for help, the farmers took matters into their own hands. Unable to meet the Prime Minister to present their demands, the farmers began dramatic forms of protest, which included rolling on the road, demonstrating with dead rats and snakes in their mouths and even taking off their clothes to get attention for their problems. Why are they protesting? Last year during October to December, the north-east monsoon was a fail- ure, and as a result many farmers in Tamil Nadu lost their crops. Before that summer crops were affected as Karnataka refused to release River Cauvery’s water for Tamil Nadu’s farmers. With crops lost and no money, many farm- ers killed themselves. More than 100 farmers died between October and De- cember 2016. These farmers want the government to give them money to tide over the problem. They also want help in repaying loans they took for buying seeds and farm machinery. Without rain, the land has turned dry in some parts of Tamil Nadu. The Uttar Pradesh model Farmers in Tamil Nadu are looking to the government in Delhi for help be- has recently agreed to a ‘loan waiver’ in Uttar Pradesh (UP), a state that is cause the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which runs the central government, also run by the BJP.
