An Indian Farmer

India is a land of villages. Most of the people there are farmers. A farmer occupies a very important place in our society. He is the breadwinner for all. He is the backbone of our country. Hard work, honesty, and patience are the hallmarks of his character. He grows food grains, vegetables, and fruits. He also grows cotton from which we make cloth. He has to work hard in his fields. He becomes dust with the dust. His hard work and open-air life make him strong and healthy. He leads a simple life. He is free, frank, and loving. He spends lavishly on marriages and festivals. He is often under debt. A farmer is no longer illiterate now. He is learning new methods of farming. Our government is doing a lot to improve his lot.
