Renaissance for Rural India

I come from the state of Haryana, one of the most prosperous state in Agrarian India. The state which is known for revolutionaries like Sir Chotturam who was born to be at the spearhead of his times. He ushered in an Agricultural Renaissance in pre-partition punjab in the penultimate years of the Indian independence.He blended intellectual fervour with a cult of physical health to evoke pride in the agriculturist. When peasants in vidarbha and marathwada are dying and prosperous haryanavi farmers are selling of land it is time to remember him. Politicians in Maharashtra have been speaking against North Indians, against Hindi, against Muslims, against Sikhs but they have forgotten all about their own people- they have not spoken for anything but sectarian interests that are streamlined to serve their vested interests in the end. It is difficult to make policies that help farmers in an overtly capitalist world and the easiest thing is to incite communal violence in urban slums and this is what they bank upon. In Haryana the builders have easily bought the land from the farmers who find agriculture the most unprofitable of businesses. They would rather get rid of land for a handsome price. The uneducated rural youth not knowing a better use of money squanders it and heads towars an insecure and uncertain future plausibly entering the roll-call of anti-social elements. It is time Vidarbha had a Chotturam of its own and Haryana remembered its long forgotten son.
