Punjab has been hailed as an Indian success story: ever since the modern farming techniques of the 60s and 70s transformed the state into the breadbasket of India - helping change the fortunes of a starving nation. But today, Punjabi farmers are facing an ecological disaster, riddled with debt and death. They are committing suicide in their thousands -- and many now face a new menace: heroin.

The farmers that don't kill themselves are the foolish ones. If you find you're been enslaved, step one is to kill the slavemaster. If you are not able to acquire access to him, you kill yourself. It's just that simple.

Everyone knows that Current ruling party ( akali dal Badel) leaders involve in drug trade for money.

Only when we have Khalistan will we be able to save Punjab, at this point it needs a total reset. Fact is the Indian government and its many puppets (Badal's government) couldn't give a damn whether we live or die as long as we obey and fill their coffers. They'll keep stealing from us until there is nothing left to take.
Here are the things that need to happen:
Arrest/Execute the Badals.
Arrest/Execute the drug pushers.
Ban pesticides and fertilizers. Return to organic farming.
Turn off the Tube wells.
Stop our river water being diverted.
Write off farmer debt.
And most importantly...
Create Khalistan. A land where Sikhs can actually live in peace without being screwed over every which way.
Khalistan Zindabad! Bring on Sikh Referendum 2020! -
Those of us born in The West sometimes forget how lucky we are.

glad this is finally making it into foreign media coverage. Yet not enough people are aware to help bring about change in a positive and productive way.
Punjab needs drug education and industrialisation to help create better opportunities for the young. Very few families have been unaffected by drugs in the country and it's certainly time for progressive development in a state scarred by the events of 80s and 90s
