Saint Soldier ft. Sukhraj – Farmer Suicide

(LYRICS POSTED BELOW) National Crime Records Bureau says over 200,00 farmers in Punjab have committed suicide since 1997 due to the fact that they are heavily in debt and unable to repay their lenders. Punjabi farmers are also going through a water crisis in which the Indian government has restricted water rights for irrigation, making it extremely inefficient and expensive for farmers to maintain their crops and land. The Government has also allowed for the usage of unregulated pesticides and fertilizers to counterbalance the low productivity resulting in major health problems in the people of Punjab. Saint Soldier & Sukhraj have written and performed this track in hopes of raising global awareness of this issue.
