WATCH VIDEO: The Daily Show host Trevor Noah brings world’s gaze on farmers’ protests in trademark style

US comic and The Daily Show host Trevor Noah on Wednesday brought the full gaze of the world on India's ongoing farmers’ protest by talking about it for over eight minutes.

Citing various media reports with visuals of the protest and the continuing blockade of Delhi, the Emmy-winning presenter said, "In the year of global protests, they (India) are in the midst of the biggest one anywhere".

"Most Indian farmers work on a much smaller scale," he said, comparing it with the industrial scale in which agriculture is practised in the US. "And it is when the (Indian) government tried to change that up that the manure hit the fan."

He then went on to speak about the importance of farmers to everyone and especially in India where, according to him, some 600 million people are employed in agriculture.

Describing the protest, its escalation, and the government crackdown it has provoked, Noah said the farmers are into the agitation for the long haul. To make his point, Noah said, "That's some determination…but it doesn't surprise me. Because nobody on earth is more patient than farmers. Farmers are the same people who wait for five months to grow an eggplant. An eggplant!"

Referring to the burning of Greta Thunberg’s effigy by a section of Indians backing the government, Noah quipped it would only make the young activist angrier given the "carbon emissions" from the act.
