Indian farming is in a mess. Indian farmers are in a greater mess. Indian farmers are running around like the Emperor without clothes, wishing for the clever master weavers to stitch for them, clothes of that fantastic material, that looks so fashionable as to be in fact invisible, but at the same time, is terribly expensive.
Sustainable farming in India, is a thing of the past.
Indian government, agriculture, commerce, finance ministries, corporate interests, IMF, World Bank, global trade blocs and local, home grown Indian agricultural scientists, have taken over the right to dictate to the Indian farmer, what he should be doing to get out of the royal mess he finds himself in.
Maybe it is time for these master weavers to take over all land from Indian farmers and show us how farming should be done. Indian farmers are willing to go on a Five Year Leave to Switzerland, as they leave their lands in the custody of these master weavers to show the ideal and perfect farming methods, technologies and practices.
