COMMENT :
Soter has forgotten one main reason that started the downfall of our rice
cultivation. Both the Acts, Mundkar Act and the Agricultural tenancy Act were
vote oriented Acts by Bandodkar. It was put into the heads of the populace that
they were bonded labourers like in the counterparts of India. They relished the
idea of becoming ‘batcars’ overnight without any effort. I remember their
election slogan: “Mundcaranc batt, Xethcaranc Xeth”. Then came free education
and the overnight landowner farmers themselves used to state that their
children will now be doctors, engineers, etc. and in fact sneer at the original
land owners. These people are all not yet dead, some live to see the outcome of
their conceitedness.
