The Victory of Patience and Unity over Oppression

In November of 2020, a farmer's strike in protest of a set of farming laws passed by the Indian government began. It rapidly became the biggest protest in human history, with people of all classes and backgrounds participating. After patiently struggling for 16 long months, millions of people, hundreds of martyrs, and countless stories of hope and despair, the laws were repealed. The Indian Farmers’ victory tells us how we can overcome any hurdle or can win any struggle with unity and patience.
