Comedian Trevor Noah has addressed the farmers’ protest in India on ‘The Daily Show’, an American late-night talk and news satire television program.

Noah talked about how farming employs 600 million people in India, which Noah said was more than twice the population of the US. Noah even referred to Mahatma Gandhi, who led protests and movements against the British Raj in India.

Why are India’s farmers protesting? The government tried to change the decades-old agriculture laws and that’s when the manure hit the fan.
