A farmer holds an umbrella as it rains during a day-long protest in New Delhi August 8, 2013. Thousands of farmers from different states of India on Thursday protested against the introduction of the Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) bill in parliament by the union government, that would make a foray for the genetically modified crops and its proponents like Monsanto, into India's food and farming, a media release said. The sign (R) reads: "GM food is dangerous, we have to fight together". REUTERS/Adnan Abidi (INDIA - Tags: CIVIL UNREST AGRICULTURE BUSINESS SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY FOOD)
