    Dear Jayasala,

    All over the world many countries are replacing manual labor by technology, opting out for technical innovations in machineries be it agriculture, manufacturing or engineering. Very soon manual labor will become redundant and millions will be left jobless. This is the ugly and sad reality of the future.

    Anusha, I don't think it is cheaper to pay labourers - if you go by the amount quoted in the OP, it works to 60K a month, which is a lot. It might be easier to buy a machine which would prove to be a lot cheaper in the long run.

    I don’t think so it is true as I have seen these people and we have them in our farms too.
    I have seen them having kids even when they are with family (husband going for cane cutting and wife being in hut for kids and look after cow or goat they have ).
    We mainly have sugar cane in our farms but we never heard such kind of superstition.

    Preeya, you probably meant this to be a response to the OP. This is not a superstition. This is something that is happening (maybe in your region).

    The talent for exploiting fellow human beings never fails to amaze me! I had not heard of this. Maharashtra tends to be somewhat sane usually, but whoa this is weird - how much could the added savings/profits really amount to? :yikes:

    I found a few articles, all anecdotal, no stats.

    Well, reason enough for the government to look into this.

    Everyone feels ashamed that such things are happening in our country. But we are silent spectators and are unable to help in any way.
