Wayanad: Misery in an Emerald Bowl-
Essays on the Ongoing Crisis in the Cash Crop Economy- Kerala is a
critical study on the origin of the current crisis that the region of
Wayanad (Kerala) is presently confronted with. The economic
crisis engulfing the cash crop and plantation sector in Kerala has
crossed the boundaries of economics and has come to embrace every
aspect of life in the concerned areas. It is now manifested in culture
too. Wayanad district, being a saturated cash crop growing area, is
certainly the worst victim with the largest number of suicides
committed by farmers, their families and agricultural workers. These
are mainly small farmers, who are trapped in chronic debt and have
undergone a steep fall in their standard of living. This is a
continuing phenomenon with no let up. The objective of this short
study is to unravel the genesis of this crisis, which is killing
people. The agrarian crisis has severely affected general trade, which
exacerbates the debilitation. People have become sullen, bitter, and
feel that they are a betrayed lot.
The issues raised in this book are of
vital importance to the victims as they are affected negatively in
every conceivable manner. The authors expose of the crisis in
Wayanad leads the author to offer an outlook on the regions future.
He offers an option that could bring Wayanad back from the brink of
the present crisis, offering possible ways in how to address the
crisis and revive Wayanad towards a more sustainable economy and
equitable living standard for its people and society.
