The
tremendous economic pressure that the Indian countryside
has come under in the recent years is bound to impact
the well-being of the masses in the rural economy. This
paper is an attempt to examine the key elements of the
contemporary agrarian crisis and its possible consequences
for agricultural labourers. It appears that their economic
conditions, in any case quite fragile and vulnerable
even in 'better' times, have taken quite a battering
in the recent years. |
