Support Indian Farmers: Annapurna





"Annapurna" An Ode to Indian Farmers

As a mark of solidarity with the Farmers in India, I spent the past few weeks creating a painting titled ‘Annapurna .’ I am now creating a fundraiser to help the farmers and giving away prints of my painting to those who donate as a Thank You gesture.  Here is a poem I wrote that illustrates the state of mind of a hardworking Indian farmer.

“I am capable of extracting food from the womb of mother earth
Months and years of toil,  sweat and blood
To feed you while I and my own go hungry
Because I love the land I toil on
So if you threaten to snatch it
With your big purses
I will wait patiently
Your water cannons are but rains
I miss so much on my parched earth

Your barbed wire and bullets
Are not worse than the rope of debt
Always hanging on my neck

I will not wait for you to give me food
Did you forgot I am the one who feeds you ?

So I will grow my own food
On the sides of the path
I sit on while I wait
Until  you take your purses away
And leave me alone
To feed “you” and “my family”.

Here is  a video by "Dhruv Rathee"  explaining  what this is all about and why they are protesting.

 And here is a video shot in beginning of dec on how Khalsa Aid is helping them and their website :
