vandana shiva
the green revolution within india commenced in the early 1960s that led to an increase in food grain production, especially in punjab, haryana, and uttar pradesh. major milestones in this undertaking were the development of high-yielding varieties of wheat, and rust resistant strains of wheat. however, agricultural scientists like m.s.swaminathan and social scientists like vandana shiva are of the opinion that it caused greater long term sociological and financial problems for the people of punjab and haryana.

green revolution in india
historically, most indians have been farmers and 66 per cent of the indian population are engaged in agriculture. indian sikhs are employed in agriculture to a lesser extent; india's 2001 census found 39 per cent of the working population of the punjab employed in this sector. the success of the 1960s green revolution, in which india went from "famine to plenty, from humiliation to dignity", was based in the punjab (which became known as "the breadbasket of india"). the punjab is the wealthiest indian state per capita, with the average punjabi income three times the national average. the green revolution centred on indian farmers adopting more intensive and mechanised agricultural methods, aided by the electrification of the punjab, cooperative credit, consolidation of small holdings and the existing, british raj–developed canal system. according to the swedish political scientist ishtiaq ahmad, a factor in the success of the indian green revolution was the "sikh cultivator, often the jat, whose courage, perseverance, spirit of enterprise and muscle prowess proved crucial". however, not all aspects of the green revolution were beneficial. indian physicist vandana shiva wrote that the green revolution made the "negative and destructive impacts of science [i.e. the green revolution] on nature and society" invisible, and was a catalyst for punjabi sikh and hindu tensions despite a growth in material wealth.
