  3. Oxford University conducted research on farmer suicide and the British Journal of Psychiatry carried an article on the subject. All the usual causatives mentioned such as stress, depression and ongoing psychical health problems. The UK media reported a spate of farm suicides in the 1990's but hey thats the media.

  5. Indian Banks are anti-social.
    In 2010, Banks gave only 16% loans i.e 367,000 crores to rural India where 80% BC/SC/ST/Minority communities are living/working.

    If this continues, we'll revoke the 1932 Round Table Conference Resolution to seek Homeland for Muslims/Christians/Anglo-Indians/Sikhs/SC/ST communities via a Bill in Indian Parliament.

  6. I agree.
    And no FARMER in the history of mankind has indulged in terrorism.
    Hence one year compulsory farming conscription will solve many socioeconomic ills in the society and prevent terrorism.

  7. It is actually $2 for day laborer and $4 for skilled laborer respectively.

    You can actually hire MBAs for around 250$ per month. That's right- engineer+mba degree and 250$ per month. Post a job on firstnaukri.com if want to confirm

  8. A wee bit far from the truth what about the Mau mau and the Veit cong. Thomas "Slab" Murphy hard working farmer and former Chief of Staff of the IRA seemed to have found time for terrorism.
