Farmer suicide in Indian context has been focus of discourse in media, academics, politics and civil society. The paper attempts to analyse this through Foucault’s conceptualisation on Problematisation. The issue being problematised in this paper deals with farmer’s suicide in the state of Punjab to know how and why it became a problem and an object of thought. This has been attempted through a theme based review of academic reports/articles/papers published on the issue. The British colonial rule created Punjab as an agricultural province by privileging the peasantry and cultivators and by developing an extensive network of canal colonies. Post-independence the state was an obvious choice for implementing green revolution. One of the most profound impact attributed as a consequence of green revolution and economic liberalisation is farmer’s suicide. Singular causality in terms of economic reductionism of impact of globalization/neoliberalism or hedonism of cultural practices would obfuscate the representation of this phenomenon. The narrative of agriculture in Punjab both during the colonial period and post-independence as an experimental lab for green revolution is a curious mix of peasant ideology as well as the bourgeois capitalism.
