Rural riches

Poor rural India? It's a richer place

The IHT article is interesting and heart warming. I wonder how the picture will look if the government eliminates the subsidies like free electricity, free water and reserve prices.

Don't get me wrong. I think farmers in India have a tough time - mostly because of lack of access to capital and information. As for the subsidies those are usually lapped up by the rich farmers and in quite a few cases "farmers" on paper.
