Summary: Join Soni and Lucky as they journey through India in search of answers to tough questions about its food security and agriculture. From the history of the Public Distribution System to the impact of the Green Revolution on groundwater, this graphic novel gives readers a comprehensive overview of India’s food system. Since the early 1990s, the Indian state has sought to privatise agriculture and withdraw from its duty to solve the country’s hunger crisis. Given the intensification of this process in recent years – exemplified by the attempt to impose three new farm laws in 2020 that heavily favoured corporations – this comic is essential reading for any Indian today.
