The farmers, on their tractors and on foot, took random routes within the city, and in no time occupied critical junctures around ITO, Delhi Police Headquarters and the Red Fort.

The police were attacked with sticks and swords. Tractors were weaponised to crush officers doing their duty and perform stunts suited to a circus. Those on foot took to stone-pelting and heckling the media persons of channels they disagreed with. At the Red Fort, the vandals attacked the police, forcing them to jump off a high wall, resulting in injuries.

Using the benefit of hindsight, one can conclude that restraint was perhaps the best option, given the loss of life was contained, barring the one protester who chose to crash his tractor into police barricades. The sight from the Red Fort, however, will always be distressing.

To put it simply, the sanctity of the capital was compromised for a day to ensure thousands did not go on a rampage in Punjab for weeks. Not ideal, but the lesser of the two evils.

While choosing to exercise restraint with the stick, the BJP government leveraged all its carrots and patience. Now, it must lead India to its next agricultural revolution.

For the farmers of Punjab, the choice is simple. Diversification and development, or desertification and doom.
