Question
Explain the following statement with a reason.
Farmers in India became bankrupt.
Solution
Farmers took a loan from the moneylender, and the broker acted as the middleman who exploited the farmers. The farmers had to sell their products at a low price to the merchants and the middleman; they had to sell at whatever price was demanded. The farmers had to mortgage their land when they could not pay their loan back to the moneylender. This led to a vicious cycle of taking more loans, which eventually led to bankruptcy.
