At the same time, Marathwada - a historically backward part of the state adjoining the distressed Vidarbha region - has seen a surge in farmer suicides. At the heart of the crisis is a cyclical drought that has persisted for almost a decade. Relief packages and loan waivers have not reversed the trend. On the contrary, the stories of dystopia grow more tragic every year as thousands of farmer families flee to the big cities, while those who stay back are plagued by bad credit and crop loss. Landscapes of Loss tells the story of Marathwada through the accounts of its people: marginal farmers, Dalits, landless labourers, farm widows and children. It lays bare the complex factors that have brought the region to this pass - a story representative, in many ways, of the agrarian unrest in large parts of rural India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kavitha Iyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9390327466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789390327461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperCollins India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Kavitha Iyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079649554687,"sku":"9789390327461","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0db2f3ae-bb08-411a-808c-d65c44459dba.jpg?v=1685482347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landscapes-of-loss-kavitha-iyer-9789390327461","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
