Farmers and Indian Politicians

[rkumar]

There was a time when election symbols of political parties in India used to be agriculture centric. Congress started with " Do ballon ki Jodi" then " gai aur Bachda". Janta party had " Haldhar" as its election symbol. True to symbols, Indian farmers always felt that they were being heard by their leaders. Things have changed along with election symbols. Hardly there is a political party whose election symbol is agriculture centric. Hardly there is a political party which cares for farmers. Year after year farmers are having problem with sugar mills. Till date cane crushing has not started and poor farmers hardly have any cash to meet their daily needs. Government is more concerned about stock markets and billions are released in market to help share markets. Not a penny for deprived farmers. Feel like cursing every politician of this country. Is there any shame left anywhere??? Govenment is hardly worried about 60% population dependent on agriculture and pouring money in market to help stock markets.

No reply over such an issue? Well people seem too busy replying to SEX EDUCATION…

The condition of a farmer is getting worse day by day…Our farmer is getting his life on credit and death in installment…he is cultivating wheat and his children sleep hungry…today a 10 acre farmer is hand to mouth but a patwari who works on monthly wages owns a furnished house, can afford a car. This is the whole scene…


There is the only one man who is there to suffer physical, natural or political disasters, directly or indirectly. Most of the big names in politics are from agri background but they have plans to develop SEZ on the FERTILE lands…. soon you’ll see the farmers who take a nap under sheesham tree in the noon, standing on the gate of industries…many of farmers have been paid compensation for land. With the money they bought Skodas and Scorpios, cell phones, gold chains, marble flooring and paid off the debts. Now the money is over and land is not in the hands too.if some one invested somewhere, being uneducated he did not know how to invest.
There are many schemes started by govt but fail to achieve the target…a 100-rupee note has been granted for a farmer. It starts from Delhi but before reaching the destination the big note squeezes into a 10-rupee note…that’s y the schemes fail… But have you ever thought that y this sez scheme never fails? Because there is an involvement of big personnel interest of high profile people…that’s y it works…. so the point here is that a scheme can work but there should be some interest of big names….

If govt is acquiring the land then the Farmers should be compensated for their land, some stakes in SEZ, and good jobs.

Kisan, Majdoor,,,,,in sabka haal na to kabhi sudhra hai aur naa hi kabhi sudharne waala hai,,,,,ye hamesha se karzdaar rahein hain and they just spend their whole life span in hand to mouth manner

aur naa hi koyi inka haal sudhaarna chaahta,,,,,haqikat to ye hai,,,,,inki taraf koyi kyon dhyaan nahi deta ye ek bahut bada mudda hai,,,,i wont touch up on that,,,,

,,,,fact is that no body wants to ameliorate their poor conditions,,,,it is sad but its a fact

 

[cooljat]

Bhai Rupi, your this para sum up the adverse condition of Farmers in India really well, and nobody is bothered about poor farmers !!

Who says hard work pays off and mehnat ka fal meetha hota hai ?? ... ask the farmers,... after giving in so much hard work, sweat and time what they get in Return??

Dear Dr. Sahab,
You have brought out a very pertinent point. A nation whose majority of population's economy is based on farmers seems to have lost its direction. The reason is: things have changed, and farmers are as much to be blamed for it as any one else.

Let us see what has changed:

Leaders: Quality of leadership and their focus.

We had Ch. Charan Singh now we have Mr. Tikait/Ch. Ajit Singh.

We had Ch. Devi Lal, now we have Mr. Chautala.

Vote Bank/ Voting Pattern:

Farmers Vs. Hindu, Musalman, SC, ST etc.

So, issues are more caste centric rather than profession centric.

How do we get back on track? We need a self less leader, who cares for the farmers and not for his constituency representation. The leaders have to be smart enough to get to the farmer's issues without losing focus of other professions. A balance in approach is need of the hour.

Who will do it? Lord Krishna is unlikely to come by. But my guess is as good as any one else's. Let us hope some wise leader comes up.

it ain't any fun, brooding over the past. charan singh's and devilal's are not going to be born again, even if they do, no one is going to open the doors of fortune for us JAT's. let bygones be bygones. i haven't seen any kisan building castles while doing farming, baring few exceptions in punjab. all those among us, who have risen in ranks and riches are because of the mere fact that we were fortunate enough to have access to education. jo hamare bhai log zameen se chipke rahe wo aaj bhi wahin hein.

buy agriculture land as much as you can and anywhere you can. try out MP, nice production of soyabeen and other pulses there. make a useless investment for 10 years. get the manifold returns after that... app. price 1.5 to 3.0 lacs per acre (haryana acre/keela of 4 bighas). anyone interested can contact me.

if anyone can have an insight into future... food scarcity is going to hit india in a big way, anyone in possession of agricultural land will gain in the long run. it will be agriculture (then hi-tech) as normal once again.

jat ventured out in jungles, its useless to say that rama was sent in banwas, by kaikayee,

it was a com-pulsary question for every jat to create land for agriculture...

rama did not go to banwasa due to kaikayi...

b4 that also some viswamitra took these rajkumars into jungles where they killed tadka...

 

[snandal1]

Our health is as good as the food we eat and the air we breath. Food is one the foremost item for survival. Unless untill we look after our farmers, we can not talk of food security. Industrial activities come only second. As of now, who financial systems seems to have been hijacked by stock markets. Till the day we have technology which can make us grow wheat and rice in factories, we need farmers and the farming land. I see no hope of our politicians helping our farmers. Farmers need to be united under some all India banner. There has to be a national policy on land and water use.

Very Nice observation Rajender Ji.

I am very much agree to Rupinder Sheoran. SEZs are the main attraction points these days. Not much rehabilition schemes in place. Choice of Land is also according to the suitability of Industries like near to gurgaon and not the barren un-irrigated lands of Bhiwani. New nehar for Sez can be built but not earlier for irrigating lands.

Also Tewatia ji have nicely pointed the squeeze in supporter area from farmers to castes.

Brahm is quite right. You can see the example of sikh jats who are spread over eastern UP, Rajasthan, MP and even Bihar and created fortune for themselves in agriculture. If farmers of Haryana and Western UP want to stick to agriculture then they need to migrate and multiply their land holdings.​

 

[fateh]

Brother RKK, you have introduced another a very good toppic & your observations are correct. The fact is that after indipendance, irrespective of any political party in power, the Kishans & Jawans [99% jawans come from kishan families], are totally neglected by all govts & even by the society. The kishan & jawan may be holding any number of educational degrees & may be highly educated in his thoughts & action but the Indian society always cosiders him as totally uneducated. The right of property never applies to kishans. Infact many fundamental rights hold no good for kishans & jawans and they are not even compensated for same. From the beganning, our govt policies are favouring the business classes, industries, rulars & to some extent organised labour. to cut short, the main reason is disunity among kishans, lack of education, lack of proper organisation & lack of will power.

 

[nishantrathi82]

Point of concern

Absolutely Farming, agriculture, food garins are one of the biggest matter of concern but once again i heard the same name Politicians who r responsible for this too. Yes these r politicians who r least concern about the farmers, this is going to be very bad in future, we heard this year that there is some sarcity of some food products in USA but that's US they can cope up with these kind of situations but if in future this kind to problem will hit India which looks like going to happen it will be very hard to deal at that time.

In India a farmers doesn't want his child to be a farmer because of the poor policies of the government a farmers doesn't get anything by selling their products the whole profit goes to those blackmarketers.

The average American farm family earns $60,000.00 a year. The average Indian farm family works 80 hours per week, through 40 or more weeks in the year, and earns about $3,000.00 a year.

India has about 120 crores of population. This makes India's foods need the second highest on the planet (behind only China.) Not surprisingly, nearly 3/4ths of the workers in India are engaged in feeding the nation (through Agriculture mostly, as most Hindu's don't eat meat.)

1.5 lakh farmers across India committed suicide due to agriculture related problems in between years 1997-2005.

So government must have to look towards this matter and make such kin dof policies which will encourage the food production rather then selling the productive land to the Builders or for other uses.
