It is said that, “You may need an engineer once every week. You may need a doctor once every month. But you need a farmer at least thrice a day. And it is very important to save the farmers.” It is true, you may not need doctors, engineers, MBA’s, CA’s or even the politician but we all for sure need farmers. And the present condition of Indian farmers and Indian agriculture is very clear to us now. Ever imagined how things got so bad? What is the reason behind it? It’s WE. Shocked yet? Yes it is true. The so called berserk nature of the monsoon is none other than the effect of us human beings on the nature. Nature was never berserk it’s we who have turned it nuts. Pollution, we have heard of this word over a thousand times, but we still ignore. Ignorance is the first step to catastrophe. Our so called, joyrides in our huge oil gulping SUVs are causing nature to suffocate. Our factories which are yielding poison 24*7 is nauseating mother earth. Each and everything we use from plastics to steel everything has done its share of harm to nature. It is time for us to look into the matter deeply.
