The Agrarian Crisis in Rural India: The Impact of Globalisation on Indian Villages
Abstract: This study examines the issue that arises from the tension between urban and rural communities, which is driven by the view of metropolitan areas as progressive and desirable, while rural areas are seen as outdated. The discussion has undermined the legitimacy of the whole village ecology, resulting in the agricultural crisis as a direct outcome of modernity. The conflict in villages arises from the development rhetoric and social conflict that originates from an individualistic development ideology. Efforts to save villages are sometimes misunderstood as endorsing outdated social dynamics. Significantly, there has been a dearth of a comparison examination between rural and urban communities, which has worsened the situation. Modernization offered the prospect of advancing social, political, and economic development, highlighting improvements in social well-being, materialistic expansion in urban areas, and enhanced social protection in developed regions. Nevertheless, this story has resulted in severe outcomes, including the collapse of local economies and social structures, and has caused a dire situation for the villages. This study emphasises the urban-rural conflict, which has been intensified by industrialization and individualistic growth. As a result, it has caused an agricultural crisis and social conflict in villages. It argues that a detailed comprehension of village life is crucial in order to effectively tackle this situation.
