Agrarian Crisis in India’s Age of Inequality

Centre for South Asian Critical Humanities

Uncover and understand the farmers' protests and the deepening agrarian crisis in India with a talk and photo exhibit  by  P. Sainath

CDRS, Room 3230, 3rd floor, Maanjiwe Nendamowinan building

Farmers' protests have broken out again in India - a country that has seen at least 400,000 farmers take their own lives in distress, by official count, in the past two decades. Even that awful number is a serious underestimate - with women farmers, for example, being mostly excluded from the farmer suicides lists. Very few women own land - but female labour is predominant at almost all levels of production. As the sector sinks deeper into distress, the pressures on rural women mount exponentially.   The crisis, not just of farming, but of all agrarian society, is exploding at grave human cost. Yet, there is very little understanding of what constitutes an 'agrarian' crisis (as distinct from a farm crisis), and what happens to women as it deepens.
