Bt cotton dashes hopes of ryots, The Hindu, 30 December 2002, http://www.
For the Ryots, who are generally both land-holders and manufacturers, by the oppressions of gomastahs in harassing them for goods are frequently rendered incapable of improving their lands, and even of paying their rents; for which, on the other hand, they are again chastised by the officers of the revenue, and not unfrequently have those harpies been necessitated to sell their children in order to pay their rents, or otherwise obligated to fly the country.
These include Radio Dynamics, Soul Technique, The Ryots, Elaine Palmer, 4 mile drive, Lil'Seedy and Atombrain.
