From Mojo on ground there is a new "farm to table" phenomenon we saw, one that evoked feelings of service, Dharma, and a deep sense of humanity. The farmers at the protest site welcomed everyone, from reporters, to officers, to have Langar, as their religion urges them to feed even those they consider their enemies.

Editor's note: In the video above you can see the spirit of Sikhi alive. Just as saints during Guru Ji's time would give water to the enemies on the battlefield, so today protesters who may be brutalized by police are still happy to serve their "enemies".

Some notable moments in this video demonstrate the practice of Sikh values. For example the reporter herself knows the "heart of their faith [Sikhi]" is "the spirit of giving". 

Another is when she interviews Sandeep Singh, who farms rice from Ludhiana, who explains that his Dharma Guru Nanak Dev taught us the practice of langar. The practice of langar has been carried on and the whole world knows who Sikhs are why they serve langar. Sandeep continues to explain that for us we see no difference in any one and are serving langar to everyone whether they are a commoner, a reporter or a police man, "We are just here peacefully, no one is our enemy, we just want the laws changed back." The Singh finishes by explaining that we first have pangat and then sangat. The demonstration of Sikh values is undeniable at these historic #FarmersProtest
