पोशिंद्यांची लोकशाही (“The Democracy of the Providers”) — by Sharad Joshi
Summary
Poshindyanchi Lokshahi (“The Democracy of the Providers”) is a Marathi book by Sharad Joshi, the economist who founded the Shetkari Sanghatana farmers’ movement in Maharashtra. The title turns on Joshi’s coinage poshinda — the one who nourishes or provides, i.e. the farmer-producer — and frames his recurring thesis that India’s political economy is rigged against the rural producers who feed the nation.
