India's government is in talks with farmers who continue to block road and rail routes across the country.Across India, farmers are demanding an end to new laws they say are not just threatening their livelihoods, but costing lives. "The new laws that they have passed, we call them death warrants of farmers and laborers," farmer Kewal Singh of Punjab said.
"He worked as a laborer, but he could hardly earn anything," Kaur said. "He sold his land and crops. After this deed was done he thought that his life had no meaning, and he drank some pesticide." "Now we all will have to work. This house has women. I am the old mother-in-law. I have a daughter-in-law and a daughter. We all will have to find some work for our sustenance," she said.
