Blogs on Agriculture Issues in India

Even though India is country whose more than 70% of the population is dependent on farming or farming related profession, but I have felt that the issues related to this sector are normally ignored or are being given very little attention by the mainstream media. Many newspaper have the terrible habit of mentioning that what happened to the various models in US/Europe, have no heart to mention that why thousands are farmers are committed suicide in last 10-15 years which is rarely seen in this country. I have known 2 people since last almost 10 years who have worked tirelessly and who have tried to bring their plight through mainstream media also.
Guess who?
They are P. Sainath and Devender Sharma
