The 'Common' Development!
On an average, more than 40 farmers commit suicide every day in India, and yes today, when you read this, is no different. Around 15000 such lives are lost a year in a country where agriculture accounts for more than 50% of the total workforce. Their lives are so underrated that the government no longer publishes the correct data on farmer suicides anymore. Isn't it deplorable that none of us bother about this pernicious negligence concerning this hapless destitution who toil on the soil, day in and day out for you to eat three times a day? In fact, every time an Indian munches, you should know that the guy who nurtured it may not be even alive by then and by our convenient ignorance we are savoring the blood and sweat of an innocent. The richest 1% of this country owns 51.5% of the national wealth (Credit Suisse: Global Wealth Report 2018) and what is even more concerning is that this wealth inequality is only growing year by year. In short, the farmers will keep 'going up' apathetically and so be the profit margins of the foreign restaurant franchises indiscriminately in this largest democratic plutocracy. The irony. So before even the dream seeds of the poorer Indian actually see any light, the monetary camaraderie would call it a day for him. Let alone the tree first and then the fruits in his Utopia.
