Viral Video: Indian farmer drives his tractor straight to Land Rover showroom, buys a brand new Defender
In a heartwarming and inspiring moment that has now gone viral, an Indian farmer was spotted arriving at a Land Rover dealership on his tractor to take delivery of his new Defender. According to Cartoq, the video has been shared by an Instagram user, Manju Som, and is now doing the rounds on social media.
The incident is an excellent example of how car culture has grown in India over the years. On the other hand, farming is done by many in India, but only a few can make a difference. Out of the wealthy farming families, not all show off their wealth; however, things are changing slowly with time.
With the advancement in technology, Indian farmers have upgraded themselves and have adapted to the new tech and methods in farming to earn money.
