Abstract
The spate of suicides by agriculturists in Karnataka was largely a result o f ecological, economic and social crises in the region. The situation calls attention to the problems of commercial agriculture in the region and to t he role of the state in inducing such conditions. Internal social complexit ies such as the growth of local usury and the increasing individualisation of agriculture also compound such distress.
