I had an opportunity to hear this chatter while travelling in a share cab. Two gentlemen were discussing why agriculture production is reducing year after year. Their reasoning is as follows....
A farmer is very happy with his 16 acres of farm land. He distributes his land equally to his four sons. So each gets 4 acres. There four sons have two sons each, so they distribute their land equally. So each gets 2 acres. This land is further distributed down the generation to two sons. The new generation gets 1 acre of land. Now in this 1 acres, is the person going to build a house, do farming or what. No, the new generation farmer will give the land on annual lease to his villager and go to the city to do a job. He is quite happy being called a city person. And the villager... how much will he work on the land.
Not bad, but sadly this is the fact of life. Down the generations, India's main production is being wiped off.
