P Sainath on farmer suicides in India

One of the best interviews I've heard in weeks or months. It's the second part of the one-hour program, Late Night Live, with Phillip Adams, who regularly scoops the best interviews in Australia.

"Farmers all around the world are committing suicide, and it is not uncommon in Australia. However, the suicide rate of farmers in India, both men and woman, who are so crushed by circumstances beyond their control, is increasing.

"P. Sainath [Rural Editor at The Hindu] has spent years covnering the Indian countryside and he's been described as one of the world's greatest experts on famine and hunger.

"He discusses the ongoing situation for farmers, and the huge disparity between poverty and prosperity in India."
