Actually, it is not the people but the farmers resisting crop burning.

OTOH, the people have resisted odd-even cars and firecrackers, and the central government ministers flouted these openly.

60% of the indian population works in the agricultural sector.

People = Farmers.

I realise this is an area where exact data is probably not available, but this site [0] says 41.49% of the workforce were employed in agriculture.

I've also seen a few pages claiming it's 60%, would like to know which source is more authoritative.
