Kisan Putra Movement: Fast to death across Maharashtra today on behalf of Kisan Putra, hunger strike for sympathy of farmers

Farmer Son Movement: On March 19 every year Kisan Putra Movement (Kisan Suro Andolan) has observed a fast throughout Maharashtra. This day is celebrated to express sympathy towards the farmers. On March 19, 1986, the family of farmer Sahabrao Karpe committed suicide. The Karpe family belonged to Chilagavan (district Yavatmal). That is why Amar Habib said that Sutak will be celebrated in this village today (March 19) and a collective fast will also be observed.

Food is the foundation of life. Man was able to progress because food could be produced. A farmer grows food. He is the initiator. His suicide is a serious matter. In fact, farmer suicide should be considered as a national calamity. Unfortunately no one pays attention to this serious matter. What can I do to prevent farmer suicides? We are ordinary people. We have no power. No power to abrogate caste laws against farmers (sealing, essential commodities etc.). You cannot fight with weapons. We don’t even have the capital to provide financial support to crores of farmers. We, the common people, can empathize. ‘We are with you’ can comfort farmers. We are to fast on March 19 to offer that comfort and condolence. This method of self-immolation has been used many times in this country. The results have come as expected. Habib said he would try to do so.

It has been 37 years since the suicide of Sahibrao Karpe

Fasting will be observed at various places in Maharashtra today to express sympathy with the farmers. 19 March 1986 Calcutta Day in the Life of a Farmer. The day that cast a shadow of death on the lives of farmers across the country including Chilgwan village in Mahagao taluk of Yavatmal. Sahibrao Karpe, the owner of a hundred acres of land, kills his wife and 4 sweet children. Tired of debt and barrenness, he finally bids adieu to this world by chanting “Yevu di daya ata guru mauli, ya ayushai dori kami jahali”. Today it has been 37 years since this incident. The season of suicides started since then has not stopped in the state even today.

Government policies are responsible for farmer suicides

Amar Habib said that government policies are responsible for farmer suicides. Governments changed but anti-farmer policies did not change. There will be some discussion on the issue of abolishing anti-farmer laws, struggling to change the system and not the government to give due respect to farmers. The government administration should wake up a little. Habib Yani said that this food sacrifice movement will be organized for this purpose.
