Thousands of people protested in London on Sunday (December 6) over agricultural reforms in India.
A crowd of demonstrators converged on the Indian embassy in the city, and groups marched around the Trafalgar Square area.
Tens of thousands of farmers have protested in India against three laws the government says are meant to overhaul antiquated procurement procedures and give growers more options to sell their produce.
Farmers fear the legislation, passed in September, will eventually dismantle India's regulated markets and stop the government from buying wheat and rice at guaranteed prices, leaving them at the mercy of private buyers.
Britain is home to a large Indian diaspora and many Britons who trace their family roots to India are strongly engaged with news from the country.
There was little social distancing in evidence at the London protests and few participants were wearing face masks.
The Metropolitan Police warned that people taking part in a gathering that did not respect COVID-19 restrictions risked being fined, and called on people to leave the area.
