Dear Friends,

A few weeks back Sharanya Deepak from Vittles substack contacted me to write about an iconic song from the Farmers’ Protest that played on many tractors – read almost all – as the march to Delhi began. It continued to play through the protest. To me, ‘Pecha’ was the clarion call of the protest.

I am so glad the piece released today as we mark one year to the day the farmers returned victorious from the protest. Illustration is my Samia Singh.

Thank you Sharanya and Vittles. There are other pieces from both Panjabs – East and West – and music as well, do go to those links from the editor note before my piece. Please read here …
