On March 6, 2018, a farmers’ protest march under the banner of the All Indian Kisan Sabha (AIKS) began from CBS Chowk in Nashik. The swelling sea of marching peasants and workers, wearing red caps and carrying red flags and banners, ended their 200 km march at the historic Azad Maidan in Mumbai in the early hours of March 12, 2018. The six-day march or the Long March, as the march came to be called, was watched on television screens across the country with growing admiration and support.
