To grab attention, they had taken up various startling albeit non-violent measures. From protesting with the skulls of dead farmers to parading naked or holding dead rodents in their mouth — the distressed farmers have done it all, but their protests have fallen on deaf ears.

While politicians in Tamil Nadu are still busy with bypolls and grappling with the AIADMK merger issue, the Central government has not paid any heed to their protests. On Saturday, pictures of farmers drinking urine went viral. Netizens shared the images across social media platform and joined their voice too.
