The Green Revolution is often described as a major turning point in Indian agriculture, but its effects seem to have varied by region. The experience in Punjab and Haryana is frequently discussed alongside places where irrigation, farm inputs, or access to markets were more limited.
How did the Green Revolution in Punjab and Haryana compare with its effects elsewhere in India? I’m interested in how it changed yields and rural livelihoods, and whether historians see its benefits and costs as unevenly distributed.
