Farmers in India took part in a nationwide strike against the central government's agricultural reforms, 10 months after a set of controversial laws were introduced. 

Tens of thousands of farmers have camped out on major highways around the capital, New Delhi, since the law passed.

The government says the reforms mean new opportunities and better prices for farmers.
