Notes
[Original String]:
11. Hari Sharma has noted:" ... rural India has undergone major structural and institutional changes over the past two decades. These changes have brought to the surface a stratum of Indian agriculturists who are much more secure in terms of legal rights and in their vast landholdings, much more articulated-economically and politically vis-a-vis the wider society and much less committed to village based norms of reciprocity and interdependence than were their predeCessors twenty years ago ... And it is in the context of these structural and institutional changes that the recent successes of green revolution must be seen. If the Ford Foundation had not exported the new technology to India, the new class of Indian Kulaks would sooner or later have imported from wherever it was available." Hari P. Sharma, "The Green Revolution in India Prelude to a Red One?", Kathleen Gough and Hari __P. Sharma ed., Imperialism and Revolution in South Asia (New York: Monthly Review Press, 1973), pp. 93-94.
