Abstract
Largely India is known as the land of villages and villages are the land of peasants where farmers constitute 70% of its population. Demographically India is constituted with four regions and in all regions farmers cultivate land and provide food to the nation. These farmers toil for the nation in the economic growth of the country and thereby there is the slogan „Jai Kishan‟. Farmers are the main source for providing raw materials to the modern industries and they work hard for producing agricultural product but seldom the peasants get enough profit for sustaining their families. During the Gupta Period the production of the agricultural products was high and the peasants had affordability. During the period of Akbar to Aurangzeb the economical condition of the peasants were not sound, even then, the peasants were to pay 60% of tax to the emperors. During the British Era there was development of technology and modern education spread in India but there was no agricultural development. There have been great famine in India since 1614 to 1965. The history has recorded that, “Men deserted their wives and children’s, women sold themselves as slaves. Mothers sold their children. Children deserted by their parents. Some ate carrion flesh. Others cut off the corpses of men and drew out the entrails to fill their bellies”. Such a situation has not been occurred in India now; even if there is famine in Maharashtra. These days all the news papers and other sources of media cover the plight of peasants every day. By now a large number of peasants have taken their death in their own hand. Although natural disaster is a part, socio economic factor for the death of the peasants is much more. Therefore there is the need for an academic study. The Article will cover the related issues and possible solutions through which the suicidal death of the peasants can be evaded.
