sowing death

a grave crisis kept carefully under wraps for a decade. farmers of five states - maharashtra, karnataka, andhra pradesh, madhya pradesh and chhattisgarh - have been silently killing themselves. according to national crime records bureau (ncrb) during 1997-2007, 1,82,936 farmers committed suicide. four pm's took oath during that period and each of them turned a deaf ear towards them.

the numbers are telling of state slumber through consecutive governments. wish the animation was lit
