THOUSANDS of protesters from 20 states across India gathered at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, on 8th August 2013, urging Parliament to ban Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), expel Monsanto from India, and withdraw the Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) Bill, 2013. The highlight of the event was an Indian flag made from organic fabric, free from Monsanto’s cotton seeds. The congregation presented this flag to the Prime Minister, requesting him to unfurl it on August 15th as a symbol of a GMO-free India.
