NEW YEAR BROUGHT DEATH FOR THEM

(Rpting one of the first posts in this blog. it is very relevant for next few days)

A story on farmers' suicides in India in rediff. Such a shame that it is happening even 60 years after independence. And these are not isolated cases.

In fact, if you read the story above along with the one on 1,50,000 farmers committing suicide between 1997 and 2005, you will realise the gravity of the situation in India.

When the Indian politicians cheer happy new year to 2008, they will do well to remember the plight of the majority of their vote bank. If they do not, they will be no different from the suckers all over the world!
