TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Confronting Farmer Suicides in India JO - Alternatives: global, local, political A1 - Kaushal, A. SP - 46 EP - 62 VL - 40 IS - 1 N2 - This article translates the realities and lifeworlds that encircle agrarian distress in India by mapping multiple affective responses from India's middle classes to farmer suicides. Highlighting unheard voices first, specifically from the state of Punjab, it then analyzes discourses attempting to explain agrarian distress through farmer suicides. By mapping the contrasting terrain of multiple translations, the article seeks to reveal alternative ethico-political possibilities for responding to agrarian life and struggles. © The Author(s) 2015.
