Ours is an agricultural country. The farmer is an important member of our society. He is the backbone of our nation. His life is an unending struggle against the elements of nature. He leads a very simple but busy life. 
He works hard with the help of age old plough. He leads a hard life. He knows no holidays. He does his work in rain and sunshine. He begins his work long before the sunrise. He has to do a lot of work before going to bed. He gets up early in the morning. He works in the fields till noon. 
He, then, gives fodder to his animals. He returns home in the evening with his bullocks. He milks the cows and buffaloes. He chats little with his family. He, then, goes to bed. He looks very strong and sturdy but his dress is very shabby. When ploughing the fields he has only a loin on him. 
He is a model of patience. Morning and evening we see him busy in his fields. At one time he ploughs the fields, at another time he is sowing. Weeding or watering. He still follows his forefathers. But the world has changed. The land has become less fertile and less productive. 
He leads a hard and rough life but his reward is meagret- He hardly keeps his body and soul together. Sometimes the rains, frosty and floods, sometimes the draught damages his crops. In recent years water logging and salinity have become dangerous problem. The work of a farmer depends entirely on weather. But this is very uncertain factor. 
He has to do a lot of work. He has to plough the fields, sow the seeds and water the land. Then he has to look after the crop constantly. A thousand odd jobs needs his attention. 
He has to look after his oxen, buffaloes, goats, sheep and other cattle. The farmer of our country is usually illiterates. He is also poor and backward. He is rough in his manners He is religious but very superstitious.
