Abstract

Indian farmers, especially the owners of marginal and fragmented holdings, are running and reeling under incessant stress and drudgery. The stressors are dwindling and uncertain income, insurmountable debt trap and unpredictable climate. When costs are simmering, returns are extremely stoic; the farmers are being thrown into a hell of chaos. The sociology of Indian farming steers down the pathway of chaos and entropy; farmers’ suicides are the shocking indicator to measure the unfathomable agony and distress.
