It’s been more than 3 months now and farmers are protesting against the ordinance act passed by the ruling BJP party. Farmers accuse this act of being against farmers and favoring the big corporates in India.

Farmers’ protest is a unique protest and some claim it to be the biggest protest of the century.

Recently we’ve noticed that Google has specifically blocked the term “What is Kisan Andolan?” in India.

Mobile users are not able to find any results when they type “What is Kisan Andolan?”. Is google being directed by the authorities to block this term?
