Much debate has concentrated on the economic factors, especially debt. This article makes sociological observations of Durkheim in the context of Punjab’s society and culture that may help us see the other side of the problem. It argues that debt per se is not the cause of suicide always but that of the agrarian crisis, following the liberal theory of economic and social development. The culture of consumerism is like fuel to the fire. - Reproduced   a Punjab, Peasantry, Agrarian crisis, Suicide, Anomie, Culture919655  aSociological Bulletin   aAGRARIAN CRISES - PUNJAB  cAR  00102ddc40709388802aIIPAbIIPAd2020-12-12h 69(2), Aug, 2020: p.270-286pAR123667r2020-12-12yAR
