An arhtiya’s commission is the cut he takes from our sale, and his advance credit is the loan for seeds and fertiliser, but the true chain is the compound interest, a number he alone keeps. It is hard to break free because the harvest price is set by the same hand that lends, leaving the balance always in his book. For me, it began with a loan for my daughter’s wedding, a small sum; now, after ten harvests, I still ask for the same advance, and my land’s paper sleeps in his steel locker. This is not a cycle, my friend, it is a well, and I am old, still looking up at the same circle of sky.
