Even if this were actually true at larger scale (than at most a few isolated cases played up), the comparison of the righteous anger of starving farmers with that of propaganda-fed Americans is not really helpful.

These are not starving farmers. Punjab has the richest farmers, I feel you are just associating the word poor, starving with farmers.

Any sources? Punjab has one of the highest suicide rate in farmers. 3300 in last 10 years [1].
