Why Punjabi farmers shouldn't sell their land

This song 20 Lakh by Bai Amarjit & Miss Pooja is a look at what happens when a farmer in Punjab sells of some of land and then is trying to explain to his wife where the money went. While this is song is light-hearted, the issue couldn't be more serious.

All over Punjab, land built up over countless generations is being sold off less for reinvestment and more for material advances. Sell that land and you can buy a new car, tractor, motorcycle, wardrobe and lifestyle, but without any real long-term cash flow, what's going to keep this lifestyle going? I guess they're not thinking that far ahead.
