With the inflation increasing,even the common man lives hand to mouth now...The count might increase if the government does not come up with a sensible plan for farmers.
I think it is due to increase in prices many people are not able to handle their life and taking such steps...it is difficult for common man and poor man to survive in India. :(
I think Peepli is also a movie which narrates about farmer suicide.
What to say, i believe that we have to accepted this truth. Main reason for this can be inflation.
This is due to governments lack of concern towards farmers
Yes farmers are facing a very bad phase due to government negligence...And due to rise in prices of daily uses things even common men is suffering.....
I agree with what you said,Sarala.Being a agricultural country the government should try to eradicate the problems faced by farmers.But the worst thing is the government is inactive.
