The impact of the Farmer’s protest has reverberated around the world. This week Milan, Paneet and Naveen examine The Trolley Times – a multilingual publication recording the stories of the protest through poetry, editorial, and journalism. They discuss The Trolley Times as part of a longer tradition of revolutionary publications like Gadhar Di Goonj and highlight the nuanced look at gender and caste that sets it apart.
