Contents:

An outline of the crisis in Punjab -- Dynamics of women's labour -- Dowry in dire times -- Ill health in an ailing economy -- Fragmentation of the family -- Taking decisions; voicing expectations.

Summary: Even as they produce food for society and its people, lives dependent on agriculture are barely able to make ends meet. The cost of food production far outweighs the returns; the peasantry is falling prey to indebtedness, both institutionalized and non- institutionalized. It is facing the severest of challenges, with even dalit landless labourers becoming victims of indebtedness and succumbing to suicide, Based on a study done in eight districts of the Malwa region of the Punjab, this book uses quantitative data along with field work, narratives and interviews with peasant unions.
