Abstract
In a predominantly agrarian society, providers of food to millions struggle to eat and are often forced to kill themselves. Through the story of Raj Singh, a marginal peasant, and Jaswant, the tiller who consumed poison, but, eventually didn’t die – ‘Taapar’ (‘Scorched’) explores their aspirations and depicts the several problems that have engulfed farmers and their families for decades, and points to the exigency for a solution.
