AN INDIAN FARMER
OR, INDIAN FARMERS
Farmers are those people whose occupation is farming. India's economy is
agriculture based. Its eighty percent populations lives in villages and does
farming. So the majority of the Indians are farmers.
Indian farmers lead a very simple life. They are educationally, socially and
economically backward. Most of the farmers are illiterate. Iliteracy is a great
hurdle to their prosperity. They are unaware of the modern researches made in
the field of agriculture. They use the traditional methods and equipment of
tarming. They do not produce as much as they can. All this results in their
economic backwardness. Indian farmer's social life is also pitiable. Land is
divided into small segments. Thus the Input increases but the output decreases.
The farmers are generally involved in different types of litigations. In order to
save their social prestige. They do not hesitate in selling even the major part of
their land. They devote much time to the welfare of others. They work day and
night to improve their conditions but in vain, They, sometimes, fail to provide
their families with a two square meals. They have no money even for medicines
and clothes. They wearsimple clothes. their clothes are often torn. Many oftheir
members die in wantof medicines. They are unable to pay for the good education
of their children.
The government had started many schemes to improve the conditions the
farmers. But how far those schemes succeed will be revealed by future itself.
However Indian farmers seem to be ardent believers in what Pope observes.
Happy the man whose wish and care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground''
