2moI’m a Farmer from Nashik. One Indian Company supplied plastic for my pollyhouse,after convincing me to go for Blue plastic instead of yellow and then loudly denied their role in wrong selling. These companies push Farmers in Debt.For them it’s a Live experiment on Farmers. When I write that I have been victim of miss selling they threaten me that I am trying to blackmail for money. What a tragedy of opposing the wrong doing.And this has happened with other Farmer too. Indian farmers helplessly blame their own destiny and they move on.
