"Since 1997, 182,936 Indian farmers have taken their lives and the numbers continue to rise. According to a recent study by the National Crime Records Bureau, 46 Indian farmers kill themselves every day – that is roughly one suicide every 30 minutes – an alarming statistic in a country where agriculture is the economic mainstay"

Monsanto defying nature while manufacturing manipulated seeds; Indian farmers not knowing what they're buying. It's safe to say that the creators of agent orange that are using Indian deities to sell their products aren't doing the world a favor.
