DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;Framing Culpability: Discourses on Farmers' Suicide Sinc
 e the beginning of the 1990s\, farmer suicide has been seen as one of the 
 most pressing issues in rural India. In one decade\, stretching from 1997 
 to 2007\, 182\,936 farmers have committed suicide\, with close to two-thir
 ds of those suicides occurring in the states of Maharashtra\, Karnataka\, 
 Madhya Pradesh\, Andhra Pradesh\, and Chhattisgarh. P. Sainath\, a promine
 nt Indian journalist\, most aptly summarizes the rural situation in India 
 as “Ag Crisis 101” that can be attributed to the “drive to corporate farmi
 ng” through the “predatory commercialization of the countryside” with the 
 result of the “largest displacement in our history.” Into the fray of this
  quandary has been the growth and increasing reliance upon development org
 anizations to address India’s growing agrarian crisis. The overarching que
 stions\, at this junction\, are how did farmers’ suicide phenomenon become
  identified as a socio-political issue in rural India and how have develop
 ment organizations responded? And more specifically\, how are these respon
 ses shaped by dominant discourses about farmers’ suicide?

 close to two-thirds of those suicides occurring in the states of Maharasht
