India Sees the Biggest Protest in History

A huge protest has taken place in India in what could be the largest demonstration in human
history. Tens of thousands of farmers descended on the capital New Delhi to voice concerns
about new farming legislation. This number is nothing out of the ordinary for a demo.
However, history was made when up to 250 million people from a broad cross-section of
the subcontinent joined in a 24-hour general strike. The protestors came from all walks of
life to show solidarity with the farmers. The scale of the protest forced the government to
meet the protesters face-to-face. The numbers made the government change its tactics
somewhat, as marches are usually met with a show of force from the police.

India's farmers are up in arms about the enactment of three laws to "reform" the country's
agriculture industry. The laws represent a radical upheaval of India's agrarian society.
Furious farmers are venting their anger on the streets. They are accusing the government of
selling out millions of India's agricultural workers for the benefit of big agri-business. They
have set up protest camps around Delhi in what looks like a blockade of the city. A farmers'
union representative said: "We will block rail tracks if our demands are not met." He said
agriculture was too important for governments to play party politics with. Agriculture
Minister Narendra Tomar said he was optimistic about finding a compromise.

Have you ever wondered how your brain receives a message that makes us feel hungry?
Hunger has nothing to do with an empty stomach, as most people believe.

Hunger begins when certain nutritive materials are missing in the blood. When the blood
vessels lack these materials? A message is sent to a part of the brain that is called the
'hunger center'. This hunger center works like a brake on the stomach and intestine. As long
as the blood has sufficient food, the hunger center slows up the action of the stomach and
intestine. When the food is missing from the blood, the hunger center makes the stomach
and intestine more active. That is why a hungry person often hears his stomach rumbling.
