Leaders of the Bhartiya Kisan Union leaders said the wrestlers came from Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana.

At 1 pm on Sunday, farmers at the Ghazipur border gathered in a circle around a large mat placed near the stage where two wrestlers stood facing each other. Within minutes, the crowd erupted in cheers as one of the players held her opponent in a headlock and threw her on the ground.

The two were among a group of over 50 professional wrestlers from different states who arrived at the border to lend their support to the farmers’ protest.

Meenakshi, a wrestler from UP, said, “We have come here to support the farmers who have been protesting here for more than a month… Our coach invited us to come here. We are their brothers and sisters and won’t let them fight alone. I have participated in national-level matches and love wrestling; I am happy I was able to entertain the farmers.”

Hundreds of farmers huddled near the stage to see the players. Rajkishor Singh, a farmer from Punjab, said, “There were a lot of people near the stage. We had to stand on roadblocks to see the matches but it was fun. Many of us have never seen a wrestling match. This was something new and we were all surprised to see different locks and positions. We are happy that they came here to support us.”
