क्यों खाते हो ज़हर भोले गरीब किसान? तुम पर कोई क़र्ज़ नहीं, देश क़र्ज़बंद है तुम्हारा। किसान का पेट काट कर ही सस्ते अन्न की सब्सिडी पूरा देश खा रहा है।

जो हज़ारों लाखों करोड़ हड़प कर भी ग्लानि या शर्म महसूस नहीं करते उनसे कुछ सीख लो।

झालू समिति के कर्मचारियों को जेल में डाला जाए।

Farmer Suicides in Telangana from June 2014 to October 2015

SreeHarsha Thanneeru has been working along with groups that have been tracking down farmer suicides in the new state of Telangana. A lot of people on the ground have been visiting families from following up with the families of the deceased. 

Here’s a geotagged map of all the farmer suicides in the state from June 2014 till October 2015. In about a minute, you see the entire state filled with deaths. This is a gutwrenching picture of the tragedy.  (Regarding the data, there are a few points wrongly marked outside the state - the data still needs to be cleaned. If we can get more information on the size of the deceased’s farm holding, crop, rainfall patterns in the state etc to be able to identify trends that could be useful in thinking about the problem.)

There is a perky orange sky after a cobalt blue sky.

The lives of those farmers, who are beguiled by the State’s hegemony, are much like a cobalt blue sky. Though the rays of the sun are minimal now, but there is a horizon of hope. Because, for the very cobalt blue sky has days filled with perky orange.
