  While the issue of peasant suicides owing to the severity of the agrarian crisis in India has been discussed widely over media and academia, the impact of these suicides on the survivors is largely invisible and has remained unexplored. Those Who Did Not Die brings in this relevant yet unexplored aspect and asserts the impact of the agrarian crisis through the voices of women survivors.

The book takes a critical look at the so-called agricultural prosperity of Punjab—regarded as the cradle of the green revolution—and provides empirical data through a socialist-feminist perspective in order to explain the plight of the marginalized peasants. It takes a close look at the issues of women’s labour, the patriarchal compulsions of marriage and dowry, and the rising costs of health care, and thus projects that such heavy chores of duty that women have to perform are still not recognized as labour in our society.

Drawing inferences from extensive field work and interviews with the survivors of peasant suicides in the Malwa region of the Punjab, this book draws political and humanitarian attention to coping strategies of women, who are marginalized already in this deeply traditional and patriarchal society.
