Agrarian Crisis in Punjab

Suicide by the farmers in punjab has been an ongoing reality for years. A typical punjabi is often considered as an extrovert, a social fellow who likes to eat well ,dress well and to live in ‘chardi kala’.while there are many issues leading to deepening frustration and anxiety related to indebtedness ,the mediate trigger effect can be anything like the last straw on the camel’s back.Getting nothing in return from the sale of crops after back braking labour, alleged harrasment of farmers by artiyas or moneylenders, sale of all land,etc all these factors contribute to taking extreme step.
