Image of the Farmer in Bendre-kuvempu Poetry

Abstract	Another occupation belonging to this line is agriculture. The proverb that ``Meti Vidya is better than Koti Vidya'' is an example of the importance of agriculture in the society. The epithets of breadwinner, mother's first son are the epithets for the farmer who is engaged in agriculture. All these became adjectives related to agriculture and the farmer. Beyond this beautiful face, there is another dark face. That is the poor legacy of the farmer. There are no examples of an Indian farmer having a strong economic backbone despite being a breadwinner. Agricultural activity has not become profitable for the farmer due to lack of rainfall, lack of capital, broker-centric markets. Examples of farmers committing suicide in frustration due to the situation of sowing debt and growing distress are a natural phenomenon in recent times. A society that worships the farmer as a 'giver', on the other hand, is blind to the plight of farmers. An overview of how Bendre and Kuvempu saw this contrast is useful in understanding the Indian peasantry.
