520			_aThis volume explores the crisis of farmer suicides in rural Punjab from the mid-1980s through 2008. Grounded in extensive empirical fieldwork, it examines how centralized policies, regional water disputes, declining executive powers of the state, and systemic agricultural debt have converged to place a severe economic and psychological burden on Punjab's small peasantry, while addressing the politics of mortuary statistics.
