(5 years ago)When American writer Meena Harris tweeted her criticism of farmers' protests over agriculture reforms, there were counter-proposses to her by nationalists who burned the portrait. Hundreds of Indians were furiously abused on Twitter, telling him to stay out of the country's jobs. Harris is the niece of the vice president of [...]
Harris, who is U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and has Indian descent, refused the idea that 18 million people who made up the Indian diaspora had no place in expressing opinions about their country.

Tens of thousands of Indian farmers have been protesting the new rules proposed by the state, which they say will make poverty worse.
Protests have exposed the difference between the nationalist Senate cultivated by the administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in India and among the Indians living in other countries.

Harris has also been joined by many well - known public figures of Indian descent in denouncing the Mod government and security forces.
Rianana and Greta Thunberg were involved in India's affairs with its farmers.
The legend of the Indian cricket, Sachin Tuldelkar, had said: “The sovereignty of India cannot be compromised. Foreign forces may be spectators, but not participants. Indians know India and must decide for India. Let us remain united as a nation. ”
Together with farmers protesting, who are mostly from the Sikhs Punjab, they have a large diaspora. And this seems to encourage that diaspora to improve even more with their cause.
There have been solidarity protests in Canada and the United Kingdom. About 500 thousand people are identified as Sikhs in Canada.
