Not just Ganjendra died...

Today, 3 little children must be waiting for their father to return home. But they don’t know that they have lost the biggest thing. Their father committed suicide last day. What Gajendra’s father is going to do now? As they have lost entire crop due to unseasonal rain that caused an elderly parent made his son get out of his home. He was from Rajasthan & he came to Delhi to protest against the land bill. What would he be thinking during his journey from Rajasthan to Delhi? He must have been exhausted from current situation, he must have been full of anger, he must have decided that it was now the time to teach lesson to the govt. But who cares in India? Life is not that much precious as it is actually when you are living in a country like India. In the past when you’d die, you might be remembered like Bhagat Singh and Bapu but nowadays one death is nothing except political games those are played until the next similar incident occurs.

Gajendra's suicide note*

As soon as that farmer Gajendra committed suicide, blame game started. RaGa visited hospital immediately & blamed Modi, BJP blamed AAP & AAP blamed BJP. BJP even demanded 5 Cr from AAP to provide help to the victim’s family. (But why should AAP provide the compensation? Was that farmer belonged to Delhi? Did AAP created such critical situation? Did AAP bring the unseasonal rain? Did AAP pass the land acquisition bill? Moreover, Gajendra belonged to Rajasthan, so is it not the responsibility of Vansundhara to pay his family compensation? Few days ago, a Gujarat farmer died by a major heart attack after reading about land acquisition bill. As I am sitting in Mumbai, now I should talk about Maharashtra where ‘farmer suicide’ is very common thing. Mumbai, one of the 2^nd biggest cities of the world, place of billion dreams and the financial capital of India, when people read about farmer’s suicide, nobody acts. They just kept turning the page. Situation of Maharashtra has been treacherous over a year. In 2014, total deaths of farmers were recorded around 1,981 while in 2015, in just three months period, 601 farmers have committed suicide!

Are we really ready to debate over farmer’s death? Or debate over a blame game? Or seek a political benefit? No. Try to involve in the pain of farmers instead. The current government has already proven that it is not a “Farmer Friendly” government. It has made numbers of farmers to live under immense threat. We should not forget that at all. The last day’s farmer death will not only be discussed in India but also it is going to be discussed on International levels as we have a PM who is considered to be amongst the strongest but why is there a weakness in the foundation (farming) of his country? I can say thet the more the farmers will die, the more this country will die....

(* Friends I am a son of a farmer. My father has got me out of my house  because my entire harvest has been destroyed in an unseasonal rain. I have got 3 children. I have come from Dausa District of Rajasthan state. Somebody please show me the way to go home again....

Jai Jawan Jai Kisan
