Do you belong from farming community?

[Kathin_Singh]

I belong from a farming community ( being a Yadav). This did not matter when I stayed back at my native place . I grow up as a software engineer by profession. There is when I see my crisis of Identity begins. I feel repulsed by the fact that how 'salaried class' hosts the adverse opinion farming communities. I can not tolerate the ill-found and mischievous opinion about farmers but sadly that is the norm in the cities. Sometimes I get into heated discussions and sometimes I kept mum on outside (but internally my blood keeps boiling).

Do you face similar issues ? and How did you get resolve it?

Beat them up, or tell them they are namak haram because they eat what you grow.

Not everybody has this option all the time, some are your colleagues and some are your boss.

Yadavs are famous for their muscle power , use it.
Jokes apart, everyone faces such situations at work place , better to handle such people with tact and smartness, sometimes letting it go works.

Next time you see one of your associates having lunch, smack the food from his hand and say, a farmer grew this. You don't need it.

Its your society(cast system society),nothing you can do.
The Turkish society looks at who you are,where you came from is not important,we even have more respect for people coming from such conditions and having achieved something in life.

Believe me, Muscle Power has limited scope in the software industry or any other industry other than Politics.

I can not let my identity of being farming community or software professional out of my choices. This is who I am.

Point hai boss!

City people make fun of villagers no matter what country or society it is. The rich usually scoff at the poor.

What sort of opinions?

It is not about caste as per se . It is about the Class. For e.g. I obviously support fertilizer subsidy given to farmers and oppose all the motions to look down upon farming as a business.

Every society has the classes and sometimes their interests align and sometimes they do not align.

Depends on the country.
Do American farmers get the same treatment from city people?
Btw,who said the farmer is poor?
Rich and poor is another subject.

Then you did not face the issue.

Again,it depends on the society,progressive societies like in the West dont have that anymore.
The intellectual ''richness'' is more important.

 

[Tea addict]

Never faced any of those situation. They are usually amazed how much land farming families own and how large are our houses along with open space available in each house. A farming family with one or two members in government job or some private job has better standard of living than those chaps who has been living in city from last 2-3 generations.

In US, generally farmers are seen as hicks or from 'the country'. To someone that lives in a cosmopolitan city in the US they are seen as aliens.

I agree with your point that a farmer doesn't necessarily have to be poor. Often the mannerisms and sometimes accents of villagers or farmers receive laughs from people from the city. Often times, it is that village people are seen as simple.
