This is really pathetic and the reason lies in our own double standards. On one hand, the people in the government supress the recommendations of the Kelkar Report and continue the tax-freedom for the farmers, while on the other hand, the farmers are not given the proper minimum support price, sufficient enough to sustain their lives. The politics of vote bank must stop at once. Take taxes from the farmers, but give them the PROPER PRICE at once.
I have seen lot of countries, met lot of people and proud to be INDIAN. I am proud of my countrymen too EXCEPT few politicians who for their personal profit do not care of even our motherland too.
Why India which have such a good fertile land and is basically agricultral is letting her farmer sons living miserable life and even facing suicide. WHY,WHY?? Why even if its sons work hard, day and night in fields are not given the right amount they deserve. Why and when will it stop.
Sad story of farmers in Maharashtra. I say fight. Fight like the naxals or anyone but dont give your life, leaving your family in pain. Screw India, what has India given or done for anyone, its every man for himself.
Gandhiji told the youths - 'go back to the villages', and everyone showed their back to the villages. :-( It's high time that we concentrate on the backbone of the country.
Farmer's are doing suicide in this agricultural country india. After 59 years of independence still it is happening then what was the need for independence? What was the need for the freedom fighters to devote their life for this country?i think their martyrms have all been vanished. It is very shameful for us. But our Netas and Babus don't care for it. They are satisfied with the services which they are getting. "A suicide after every five hours". This one is a case only for the vidarbha region. What about the other regions? Do u think the farmers in those areas are happy? NO, even they have also very worst situation. Even in the Green Revolutionary states Punjab & Haryana farmers are doing suicide. Who is responsible for it? our Gov't? our Netas and babus? oue system? or WE? Today there is a need of one revolution.There is no hope from the high class society that they will bring this revolution change because they are the controller of this system . Its only for the responsibility for Middle class and lower class to unite themselaves and to bring a revoltionary change in this society. PLEASE THINK OVER IT.
This is so called Indian Economy and the effects of robust democracy. This is the real face of India. Poverty, lack of education, dissatisfaction, unemployment and suicides. Wake up. IT is not going to give us what we want. It is ubran development. Who is thinking about the rural India which is more than half of India. Who can stop Maoists in such situation.
It is a matter of shame that India is talking of being global power when a farmer is commiting suicides at this rate. I would ask India Inc led by IT Czar Mr Narayanmurthy or Azin Premji whether these are citizens of India or not. Or is it that only shareholders and urban literates represents India in their eyes. It is a matter of shame for Indian Industrialists.
