Dozens of demonstrators from around the U.S. rallied in New York on Tuesday, India's Republic Day, to protest new laws that they say will hurt farmers.
Protests in India have grown for nearly two months, demanding the withdrawal of new laws that they say will favor large corporate farms and devastate the earnings of smaller scale farmers.
In New Delhi, tens of thousands of farmers marched, rode horses and drove tractors into India's capital on Tuesday, breaking through police barricades to storm the historic Red Fort.
The contentious legislation has exacerbated existing resentment among farmers, who have long been seen as the heart and soul of India but often complain of being ignored by the government.
Farmers, who are crucial to India's economy, form the country's most influential voting bloc. The demonstrations have rattled the government.
