abstract="Records show that at least 16632 farmers committed suicide in India since 1997. Suicides in different parts of India have become a nonstop phenomenon and its deep-rooted cause is agrarian crisis. Farmer's movements, globalization scenario and organizational indebtedness, low yield, no control over the prices have driven the farmers to commit suicide. A reworking of agrarian policy is the need of the hour since all state and central government efforts could not stop suicides. A reworking policy aiming at stopping suicides through addressing the prominent issues of agricultural community is essential otherwise; it may envelope the whole India. A rationalistic attitude is also essential in this direction and &quot;how long&quot; we allow the farmers committing suicide becomes an issue.<p/>",
