The idea of writing a
tome, nay, a dense synthesis of facts, forecasts and, at times, personal
anecdotes, came from my travels in India’s dusty hinterland. Whether it was
campaigning in the deltaic regions of West Bengal, conducting field visits in
the vicinity of Sultanpur and Pilibhit, or more simply, meeting students of
provincial universities in states often forgotten by national media, the cause
of marginal farmers and their current dismal condition struck a chord with me.
