Title:Economic Conditions of Agricultural Labourers-A Case Study in Nellore District in Andhra Pradesh
Author Name:B. Rambabu  
Synopsis:
The agriculture laborers are the most exploited and oppressed class in rural hierarchy. Before independence, their position was nothing better themselves. They were victims of not only economic exploitations, but also of social discrimination. If they fail to bow to the tunes of the masters, they were beaten up and tortured. By advancing small loans to them, the landlords often succeeded in trapping these poor people into their net and converted them into virtual slaves. This slavery continued from generation to generations and forced the agricultural workers to lead a watched existence of deprivation and oppression. Though the situation has improved to some extent during the last 67 years of independence, even now this class of agricultural workers are the poorest and resource starved class in rural areas.
