dc.description.abstract	The EPW Review of Agriculture (June 30, 2006) with two papers (P Satish, ‘Institutional Credit, Indebtedness and Suicides in Punjab’ and A Gill and L Singh, ‘Farmers’ Suicides and Response of Public Policy’) on suicides among farmers in Punjab is very timely as the state has been left out of the relief package for the indebted farmers of other states. Interestingly, Satish’s paper argues that indebtedness has little to do with suicides by the farmers in the state. It is on this paper that I would like to offer my comments.
