Why are so many Indian farmers committing suicide?

Same will be happening in Pak especially since 2010 when
the floods started coming. In winters there is a drought
and in summer we get floods.

so sad...zameendari aik proper job hay ore bohat mushkil kaam hay...cheezain sirf bazaroon main hi bikti achi lagti hain....lekin yeh arhati ore mandiyoon walay zameendar o kuuch nahin detay.....pakistan main agar zameendar suicide nahin kar rahay lekin woh apni zameenain bech rahay hain ya theekay pay day rahay hay...

I am not criticizing but this is downside of land reforms.......a powerful land owner like in pak with a huge amount of land can bear one or two years of no or bad crop season and can still provide for his workers but when a farmer is on his own with a very limited amount of land then a no crop season means a suicide :(

Its becuase of Riba -- farmers are unable to repay debt with interest. Its a dangerous situation to be in.
