Aaye, the Green Revolution gave us high-yielding seeds and tubewells, so Punjab and Haryana became the breadbasket—yes, our chhaati swelled with pride seeing the wheat stacks. But this buffer stock they built for food security came from our overworked land and dropping water table. I see it from my own field: the soil is tired now, bhaiji, and the canal water is more salty each season. The books call it a success, but my life says we were turned into a machine that is now wearing out.
