As many as 86% of farmer & 80% of agricultural labours are mired in debt, says a study on Indebtedness among Farmers & Agricultural Labourers in Rural Punjab.
The Arhtiyas (Middlemen) of Punjab
The Arhtiyas of Punjab are political connected.
In July 2017, in a public function the Arhyiyas felicitated Amarinder Singh with the title of ‘Fakhr-e-Quam’(Pride of the Community).
As many as 86% of farmer & 80% of agricultural labours are mired in debt, says a study on Indebtedness among Farmers & Agricultural Labourers in Rural Punjab.
No less than 8,294 farmers took their own lives between 2000 & 2015, says a study presented last year before the Vidhan Sabha’s Committee.
The study, commissioned by the state government’s revenue department, found that 83 per cent of all these suicides were largely debt-driven.
Their average other income excluding commissions & MSP cuts per year is 12 Lakh/ Annum. They receive 1370 Cr in interest every year
Punjab had 20,000 Arhtiyas as per a report in 2012 & the extent of farm indebtedness has doubled in the past 10 years
The indebted farmers are not in a position to repay the whole amount of debt in a single season;
The reasons is to divide their expenses and income to reduce the income & the sale tax, & to remain in business as usual even if one is cancelled as punishment for malpractices.

Now this is provoking me to write!
The schism of BJP- RSS ideology.
Full blown Schizophrenia if one wants to psychoanalyze BJP.
#doublebind where a parent keeps giving double messages to their confused children. They adore the parent for one thing and hate them for another.
How can BJP sustain itself with this kind of internal schism? In other words no samanjas or clarity of what they stand for?
Its exploding now. The madness.
People airing out Gandhi's sexuality out of context and irrelevant to him being killed by Godse.Supporting Godse's action
But not understanding that the same reasons why Godse was killed are the reasons why BJP leaders today hail Gandhi as Bapu or Mahatma. On #MartyrsDay
Very dangerous mind or #headgames being played out here. Our country is a large scale mental asylum with broken psyche.
Sanatana Dharma does not need more Nathuram Godses. We need more Shri Vidyaranyas and Adi Shankaras who would build Hindu Rajya through Raja and kshatriya Dharma.
Nathuram Godse as a Brahmana weakened his brahmanatwam by adopting a Nationalist ideology.
Instead he could have used his pourusham to garber a Sanatani movement to fight against INC and Gandhian ideology.
He dissented from RSS and started his own Hindu Rashtra Dal and also was a member of Hindu Mahasabha. However he did not fall back on our darshana s to understand

Lower rank workers worship #NathuramGodse, but leaders worship Mahatma Gandhi.

People you're seeing in TV posing as locals of #SinghuBorder are NOT locals. Infact, locals are extremely warm with the protestors. This is what real locals have to say!
No one has a problem with protestors at #SinghuBorder. Who were the ones who came to protest??
