Rethinking the Identity of Indian Rurality

Sometimes I suppose that the current Indian poignant inconceivable predominant abysmal contemporary Agrarian Crisis is not the consequences of Indian Economic Liberalization which was commencement in 1990 with the outlook of leading economic development. Notwithstanding, the economic liberalization frowns towards the small and marginal farmers, while, the capitalist farmers grabbed morsel benefit at the era of green revolution. Do you not think that the conceit of Government Policies bestowed the serious agrarian crisis in Indian Agriculture? We so-called social scientists controvert it as the government policy failure. Most of the research studies including one of my research term paper have the consent on the same argument. Maybe, the green revolution provided only capitalist farmers to have a spate of profit in the agricultural sector while the marginal and small farmers were worst affected. You know what, this sort of outlandish and deadly crisis is compensating an eminent noxious and intricate agrarian transition that would evoke predicament in Indian Agriculture. Did you ever notice about, what kind of agrarian transition has been going since last two decades? You may be surprised after having the concise data or report on agrarian transition in India. The youths are renouncing farming activities due to low production, abate of agricultural products and so on. The transition can be interpreted as the declining agricultural dependent population (71 percent in the 1980s to 49 percent in 2015), an increase of labour migration, the introduction of non-farm economy. Maybe villages are developing in terms of the non-farm economy while the migration could be considered as the central component of alternative livelihood but, what would be the future of our agriculture sector? We are going to lose our rural identity i.e. traditional agriculture, which will be vanishing from the Indian rurality for the sake of severe agricultural crisis.
