The march was planned as a 4,081-kilometre long, 150-day "non-stop" march that would pass through 12 states and two Union Territories, accomplished entirely on foot. (Photo: Agencies)

The movement's main objective was to protest against the politics of "fear, bigotry and prejudice", and the economics of livelihood destruction, increasing unemployment and growing inequality. (Photo: Agencies)
