There are no farmer's in India, what you see are actually the erstwhile farm labourers. The faulty Nehruvian socialism which tried to establish India as a welfare state based on egalitarian principles, ensured land grabbing from well established, flourishing and Prosperous Farmers and distributing equally amongst Independent India's poor. They are the present day breed of farmer's.
Nehru and his Congress party presumed that this stupid step of theirs would elevate the Nations poor to a unforeseen prosperity. The Congress party during it's almost sixty years of most corrupt rule of India, since Independence; further weakened these so called farmer's to complete dependence on state largesse and pampering, with the result these farmers were unable to produce any thing unless they received everything guaranteed free or subsidized. The extent of dependence of these farm labourers turned farmer's can be determined by the fact, that even poor rainfall was blamed on the government. The crop failure by their own fault, the government was responsible.
The Congress Party to remain in power made these farmer's so dependent that these poor people failed to graduate beyond primitive farming and never made efforts to learn new techniques, modern farming and multiple cropping. Nowhere in the world, the best farming and agricultural Nations, have farmer's holding below 100 to 1000 acres land. India is the only Country in the world where people call themselves farmers having land holding of 1,2,10 and 20 acres, below 100 acres in 90% of cases. In such small plots other Nations carryout flower gardening.

Nowhere in the world a farmer buys a tractor unless his land holding is more than 100 acres, because to have a tractor for 20 acres of land as an example, will not be cost effective. India is the only Nation in the world, where you have the choice of tractors from more than 50 brands in the market, even America does not have such foolish luxury. Due to Congress Government most anti national policies, farmer's with 5 acres of land got subsidized bank loan to buy a tractor. It has became a fashion statement in India to buy all these Heavy Farm Implements, through bank loans. No farmer however hard working he may be, can ever payback the loan, if his land holding is below 50 to 100 acres, he would default and surely commit suicide.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Nation, it is time we stop this Nonsense Culture of Pampering, Weakening, Freebies and Subsidy. Public should be educated to realize, that there will be terrible climate fluctuations and change, if we cut tree's and fail to plant more ourselves. No amount of farm waivers, freebies can prevent and elevate farmer's from their miseries. It is time the system of cooperative farming, forming a farm cluster of more than 100 acres is created by these so called farmer's on their own. Heavy Farm Implements to also be created as cooperative holding.
Indians we want to be Capitalist for our gains and Socialist for our loses. Basically we are Selfish,Cunning and Foolish.
