Thousands of Indian farmers burst through barricades and police tear gas to protest farming laws in New Delhi, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepared to lead Republic Day celebrations Tuesday, per the BBC.
Why it matters: The tractor rally that the central government tried and failed to stop is the culmination of a months-long protest over the new laws deregulating India's agriculture, which have embarrassed Modi, the New York Times notes. Farmers say the laws drive down crop prices and benefit big corporations.
