New Delhi: Baccha baccha jhok diyange zameena te kabza rok diyange` to `tino kanoon churo choor sauda sauda nayi manzoor`. These are a few of the fiery slogans penned by young Rajveer at the Singhu (Delhi-Haryana) border where hundreds of farmers have been protesting for close to a month.
New Delhi: Baccha baccha jhok diyange zameena te kabza rok diyange` to `tino kanoon churo choor sauda sauda nayi manzoor`. These are a few of the fiery slogans penned by young Rajveer at the Singhu (Delhi-Haryana) border where hundreds of farmers have been protesting for close to a month.
Daughter of a labourer from Punjab, Rajveer has been writing verses for farmers` protest. For her, the pen is mightier than the sword and so she sits at the Singhu border day in and day out to be a part of the protest that has been emboldened by ordinary people joining the rank and file of the farmers. "We are the daughters of this soil, this agitation doesn`t only affect farmers, it impacts the ordinary people too. My father is a labourer and he has worked on the fields his entire life. So I am also somewhere connected to it," Rajveer, a Ph.D. student at the Delhi University, said. Rajveer has been working on her research on Punjabi literature and slogans come naturally to her. She has been able to create catchy punchlines that have been a hit at the protest site.
Along with her, young volunteers, too, have been making hundreds of posters daily at this stall that has become a popular spot. Farmers and people from all walks of life throng here to place their demands -- a poster to hang on their tractor trollies and tents. Rajveer draws her inspiration from the revolutionary Bhagat Singh. In fact, she is a member of the Bhagat Singh Ekta Manch in college.
"Bhagat Singh gave his life for the country, if we all go abroad who will take care of the country? We need to be here to stand against the injustice," she said. There is no dearth of talent at Singhu border. Another student, Baltej, who hails Muktsar, sketches portraits of Bhagat Singh with quick strokes. His father owns 15 acres of land and though sketching is his passion, his heart lies in farming. "I sketch farmers, protestors...This is my hobby. My father is back home and so I am here...Will be here as long as I am needed," he said. Delhi University student Sangeeta, who hails from Uttar Pradesh, writes slogans in Hindi.
"Through these posters, we portray the impact of farm laws. Students from different states write in their mother tongues...I write slogans in Hindi...This is free of cost and this is our contribution to the cause," she said. The mood in this camp is upbeat as they are ready for a long haul in what they believe is history in the making.
