A suicide is actually about the loss of hope, hope that things can improve ever, hope that things will be fine later, hope that I can fight through this. Poverty is not new to India neither in debt. Farmers were never known to be rich. Why do they commit suicide? For example people terminate themselves only when something serious happens. According to a report every 30 minutes an Indian farmer commits suicide as a result of Monsanto’s GMO crops. In the last decade, more than 250,000 Indian farmers have killed themselves because of Monsanto’s costly seeds and pesticides. Globalization and monopoly have forced farmers to buy GMO seeds and since GMO crops have become pest resistant, the farmers have no choice but to purchase Monsanto’s popular herbecide.
