Veteran lyricist Vairamuthu announced today that he will give away the proceeds from the sale of his book Moonram Ulaga Por to the families of the Cauvery delta farmers who committed suicide
In a statement, he said, 'India is an agricultural country. But, not a country for agriculturalists. Today agriculture has become the last of the least job for an uneducated person. The man toils as an animal, works for his animals too. He hasn’t given the security that an animal has; for the animals don’t commit suicide.
The poor peasants, who commit suicide in clusters in Vidharba - Maharashtra, Mandya - Karnataka, Ananthapur - Andhra and Tanjore -Tamilnadu, do not augur good omen for the future of India.
'I am distributing the profit that I earned through the novel Moonram Ulaga Por among the families of the Cauvery delta farmers who had committed suicide on learning their crop going waste.'
I’m informing that the eleven lakhs of Rupees will be given to eleven languishing families at one lakh rupee to each.'
