Selon le gouvernement Indien, ce sont 200 000 paysans que se sont suicidés à causes des dettes et du

Thousands of poor farmers in India have committed suicide over the past decade as changes in India’s agricultural policy set off a widening spiral of debt and despair, one environmental activist said Tuesday.

“The farmer suicides started in 1997. That’s when the corporate seed control started,” Vandana Shiva told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “And it’s directly related to indebtedness, and indebtedness created by two factors linked to globalization.”

For Shiva, who works with farming communities across India, those two factors were the ceding of control of the seed supply to the corporate chemical industry — leading to increased production costs for already-struggling farmers — as well as falling food prices in a global agricultural economy.

An estimated 200,000 farmers have taken their own lives in India over the past 13 years, according to Indian government statistics.

“The combination is unpayable debt, and it’s the day the farmer is going to lose his land for chemicals and seeds, that is the day the farmer drinks pesticide,” Shiva said. “And it’s totally related to a negative economy, of an agriculture that costs more in production than the farmer can ever earn.”

But Columbia University Economics Professor Jagdish Bhagwati, a former adviser to the Indian government, said that globalization was not responsible for the surge of suicides among cotton farmers in the Indian states of Maharastra and Andhra Pradesh.

“There are other states in India where cotton seeds have been absorbed and which are really prosperous. So you have to ask, why is it that these are breaking out?” he asked. “What’s happening is very much like the subprime mortgages in the United States, where a whole bunch of salesmen went out and sold mortgages to people who couldn’t afford them.”

Quand autant de personnes se suicident c’est qu’ils n’ont pas le choix et qu’on les assassine, la mondialisation, c’est à dire le libre échange poussé jusqu’à l’absurde, comme lorsqu’une denrée locale coute plus cher à produire qu’à importer, et les firmes comme Monsanto qui prennent en otage la Vie sont les principaux coupables.
Ce sont les mêmes esprits malsains qui dirigeaient IG Farben, qui sont aujourd’hui aux manettes, ce sont les mêmes cartels qui ont pris les apparences de fondations anodines, jouant avec la vie de milliards de personnes.

200 000 personnes en une dizaine d’années, c’est une véritable hécatombe, et c’est très réel.

J’espère qu’un jour, un grand procès jugera tous ceux qui ont participé de près ou de loin à l’établissement de ce système destructeur de destin et de vie.
Un Nuremberg mondial est plus que nécessaire, ce procès est vital.
Rien que pour la mémoire des millions de victimes, et pour donner une vie respectable aux générations futures.
