Indian Farm Policy Strategists

Faced with the double whammy of
1. Large scale agrarian distress and
2. Falling food production,
top Indian agriculture strategists, and urban think tanks, have hit upon the most outrageous idea.
Drop the suicidal and indebted male farmers like hot potatos, and start professing a policy shift towards a gender bias favoring Mahila Kisan.
Why is this being done ?
