From Mukhebhaat (first rice ceremony) or Bhat-Kapor (where the husband vows to take care of the wife) to a hearty Bangali meal, rice not just satiates our everyday hunger but is also an integral part of all auspicious beginnings. But what goes on with the people who grow our food? The plight of farmers in West Bengal and beyond is shouting to be heard.
