The farmer suicides have less to do with climate change and more to do with India being an extremely capitalist society. There is no Nature's entity called 'Earth Climate Change Office' which forces Indian farmers to commit suicide. Rather it is the micro-credit lenders, banks and informal private lenders who harass the farmers to the point of suicide. Farmers in India have small land holdings and the lenders charge high interest which the farmer isn't simply able to repay.
Firstly, just between 1995 and 2015 there have been more than 300,000 farmer suicides in India between. Casually shrugging that away with use of fancy capitalist numbers should not be done.
Secondly, most suicides in India happen because of India's socio-economic structure being extremely capitalist. This is as true for a student as for a farmer as also for a white collar professional.
India is not producing to its potential because it is stifled by India's regressive govt interference and policies. Farmers are not allowed to sell their produce wherever and to whoever. They have to sell at the nearest market yard for whatever price is set at those markets by middlemen. I bet with the reforms initiated this year, their will be a production boom in this country as is reflected in buoyancy in the tractor sales growing 35% year year on year. India will dominate in farm exports in coming years. It might sound a bit exaggarated but time will prove my point.I'm more interested in seeing how tractor sales correlate with increased productivity, incomes and living standards.
For the most part, it seems India and Pakistan have similarly low levels of yields.

The list of excuses from both nations is pretty long. There is a long list of complaints you'll get from the Pakistani side as well about government policies (or lack of) that prevent Pakistan from reaching its full agricultural productivity potential.India is not producing to its potential because it is stifled by India's regressive govt policies.

The point I was making was different. India did make the necessary reforms recently and do not have any more excuses for such sorry level of productivity.The list of excuses from both nations is pretty long.

The goal behind my post was to point out that cherry picking random statistics such as 'high tractor sales' is not the proper way of analyzing agricultural productivity and prosperity in the rural, farming regions in either country. It is one factor, absolutely, but on its own doesn't mean much.
Gotcha, I guess we'll see how effective they are going forward. If successful, hopefully the GoP can implement some of those reforms that it may not have considered.The point I was making was different.

Pakistan has larger percentage of population living on agriculture. lol.
But restricting myself to tractors. Tractors are not used to long distance travel, no geographical size doesn't matter. India has 8 times the arable land compared to Pakistan but sells 40 times more tractors. I don't know but any standards you are no where close to India to be taken in the same breath.
I don't think even Mody knows what's going on with his Indian economy . This idiot has no f****** clue !

9 to 12% is a reasonable estimate. If they can't contain the virus and overtakes US, lolol. Then good luck India.https://economictimes.indiatimes.co...arrest-the-downtrend/articleshow/78567518.cms
I guess your own central bank is lying as well. World bank is just reporting stats provided by India. If India is quoting 9.5% then it is much much worse than quoted figures.
