This whole idea that farmers are getting rich from free electricity and subsidies — nonsense. I’ve driven past those fields in Haryana, seen the cracked soil, the dry borewells. They’re not lazy or greedy, they’re desperate. The real theft is happening in the cities, where big builders and politicians grab land, turn farms into malls, and nobody says a word. We blame the poor man with his tractor while the rich man with his papers steals the water and the sky. That’s the game: make the struggler look like a burden, then sell his land from under him.
