Pentony, DeVere E., ed. United States Foreign Aid. San Francisco: Howard Chandler, 1960. This is a collection of policy articles written by various US think tanks at the time leading up to the Green Revolution. It shows how the US was getting weary of giving financial and food aid to prop up India. A paper by the International Cooperation Administration gave us the US governments view at the time.

Pillai, M.P. Narayana. Never So Good. Far Eastern Economic Review October 22-28 1967: 178-179. This contemporary article showed a stark turnaround in just one year (from the pessimistic report by Mukerjee in the same journal in 1966) about the assessment of agricultural prospects of India.

Prasad, C.S., ed. Sixty Years of Indian Agriculture 1947 to 2007. New Delhi: New Century Publications, 2007. This book is a compendium of government-published texts. It gave us full text of the Indian Governments Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Annual Plans which were formulated immediately before and during the Green Revolution these centralized plans talked about food goals that were first not achieved and then achieved after the HYV seeds came to be used.

Shinde, Anil. Hungry Nation to Agro Power. Pune: Ameya Prakashan, 2009. This is a biography of one of the principal government officials credited with leading or enabling the Green Revolution, written by his son who is also an agricultural official. The book gave us direct quotations from contemporary figures that provided insight into how the government was compelled to act at the time of food shortages and how that led to the acceleration of the Green Revolution.

Singh, H.P. Green Revolution: Agro-Economic Analysis. Economic Affairs XV.1-2 (1970): 455-474. This is a contemporary report published in a journal aimed at policy makers in India and also at other nations who would give foreign aid to India. It was written while the course of the Green Revolution was still being influenced by government subsidies and incentives. It told us how imports of food were going down, already.

Singh, Jaskaran. "Village for Sale: Farmers in Crisis." Village for Sale: Farmers in Crisis. Indian Agrarian Crisis, 13 June 2007. Web. 18 Mar. 2012. <http://agrariancrisis.in/2007/06/13/village-for-sale-farmersin-crisis/>. This is an activist site supporting small farmers in India. While the tone of the site is partisan, we found firsthand accounts of farmers who are having to sell their property, in fact, a whole village, due to the state of the land and also the debt they accumulated trying to do HYV-based intensive farming. This site also provided us a picture of a village for sale that we used in the Human Cost tab.

"Suicide Epidemic Hits Bankrupt Farmers of India." Suicide Epidemic Hits Bankrupt Farmers of India. Farming & Agriculture, 22 Oct. 2011. Web. 06 Apr. 2012. <http://pakagri.blogspot.com/2011/10/suicideepidemic-hits-bankrupt-farmers.html>. This web article talks about the dire state of small farmers in India in areas where the water table has sunk low due to over use during the Green Revolution. It also provided us a photograph of a desperate farmer.

Taylor, Jason. "Not a Very Green Revolution." Culture Unplugged, 2011. Web. 02 Apr. 2012. <http://www.cultureunplugged.com/storyteller/Jason_Taylor>. Jason Taylor is a well known documentarian of developing country issues. We used a video shot by him in Punjab in 2011 that provided firsthand accounts from farmers. This video appears in our Unintended Consequences tab.

The Worst is Over. Far Eastern Economic Review October 9, 1969: 113-114. This contemporary report by an anonymous New Delhi correspondent of a Hong Kong-based magazine gives us an account of how the view of agriculture in India had shifted by 1969.

Wharton, Clifton R. "The Green Revolution: Cornucopia or Pandora's Box?" Ranis, Gustav, ed. The United States and the Developing Countries. New York: WW. Norton & Co., 1973, 1964. This is a paper from Foreign Affairs 1969 reproduced in a collection of papers written by foreign aid policy makers between 1958 and 1970. The paper showed us that even though the US was helping India, the donor country didnt have high hopes that the technology aid will actually succeed.

Zwerdling, Daniel. "'Green Revolution' Trapping India's Farmers In Debt." NPR. NPR, 14 Apr. 2009. Web. 05 Apr. 2012. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102944731. This NPR news story gave us firsthand accounts of Indian farmers who have been adversely affected by the Green Revolution. We could clearly see the human cost wrought by the revolution.

It also illustrated todays outlook on Borlaug, which, surprisingly, is that of obscurity. In addition, the link commented on many developments and subsequent consequences of the Green Revolution in the world as a whole.

Ehrlich, Paul. The Population Bomb. Cutchogue, NY: 1968. This is the book that influenced world opinion in the 1960s, it revived Malthusian opinions that the world couldn't support the current population, let alone an increasing one. We used this book just for a general idea of the alarm being raised about overpopulation.

Web. 2 Apr. 2012. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/12166078/PopulationBomb-Revisited This paper observes the effects the Green Revolution had on world population and poverty, specifically the failure of the Malthusian catastrophe to emerge. This is achieved through the analysis of the book The Population Bomb. It provided valuable commentary on the Green Revolutions direct effects on India where it initially started, most of it negative.

Web. 2 Apr. 2012. http://people.ucalgary.ca/~pfitzger/green.pdf This link is the notes of a professors lecture on the Green Revolution. This provided a general overview of the situation in India prior to the advent of high yielding variety crops, as well as the initial outcomes

of these crops in Punjab. It then moved on to how its perceived success in Punjab led to HYVs installment elsewhere. The link provided insightful commentary on the logic of the countries involved in the Green Revolutions start.

Glaeser, Bernhard (ed). The Green Revolution Revisited: Critique and Alternatives. Melbourne: Unwin Hyman, 1987. This book offered a criticism of the Green Revolution and its unintended consequences, particularly the dramatic increases in poverty and disease following the introduction of HYVs into India and other third world countries crops.

Hansra, B.S. and Shukla, A.N. Social, Economic and Political Implications of the Green Revolution in India. New Delhi: Classical Publishing Company, 1991. This book is written by two sociologists. They take an anti-government and anti-business view of what the Green Revolution meant to the farming communities. It told us firsthand accounts from farmers about what they feel they achieved or lost.

Hardin, Garrett. "The Tragedy of the Commons." Science,162 (1968):1243-1248. This paper discusses the theories of Malthus, examining the linear growth of food production compared with the exponential growth of population, and the Malthusian catastrophe that corrects for this inequality between demand and supply. This predicted pattern was counteracted by the Green Revolution.

Hazell, Peter and C. Ramasamy. The Green Revolution Reconsidered: The Impact of High-Yielding Rice Varieties in South India. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1991. This book broadened our reading to beyond Punjab. It also looked at data for the overall economy, rather than just farmers, to consider the overall economic impact on an area.

Kohli, D.S. and N. Singh. The Green Revolution in Punjab, India: The Economics of Technological Change. Agriculture of the Punjab Conference. Columbia University. The Southern Asian Institute. New York. April 1, 1995. Web. 5 Apr. 2012. http://www.global.ucsb.edu/punjab/12.2_Singh_Kohli.pdf. This paper examines the rapid agricultural growth that followed the development of HYV seeds and other new technologies in Punjab, India. It also examined the disparity of adoption of the new technology between different regions of Punjab. This provided us concrete evidence of a sudden spike in agricultural production, as well as detail into the level of acceptance of the innovations in the local area

of Punjab.

Lathem, Alexis. Assessing the Legacy of Norman Borlaug: Did the Green Revolution Prevent Famines? Toward Freedom. 10/7/2009. Web. 2 Apr. 2012. http://towardfreedom.com/home/content/view/1710/1/ This article looks at the overly positive reaction by the media regarding the Green Revolution. Though it was a popular claim to state that the Green Revolution saved millions of lives, the article asserted that this must be tempered with its negative effects such as increased poverty, a widened gap between the poor and the rich, loss of topsoil and soil fertility. The link ultimately concluded that Borlaugs miracle seeds did not have nearly as much to do with preventing hunger crises as made out to be, giving us a unique perspective on the Green Revolutions effectiveness.

Leaf, Murray J. Song of Hope: The Green Revolution in a Panjab Village. New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 1984. The author of this book was in Punjab from 1964 to 1966, and then visited it again in 1978 to study the changes. He conducted interviews and made personal observations about village life. We used this information to understand the degree of changes at individual farmer level, and also how societal relations changed.

Murgai, R., M. Ali and D.Byerlee. Productivity Growth and Sustainability in Post-Green Revolution Agriculture: The Case of the Indian and Pakistan Punjabs. The World Bank Research Observer, 16.2 (2001): 199-218. This report discusses the growth of Indian and Pakistan Punjab after the initial innovations had taken root, providing statistics for each Punjabs agricultural production and examining the various factors prevalent in this growth. This was helpful in further emphasizing the positive growth stemming from the HYV crops and technologies that came with it, as well as showing political and economic factors role in nurturing growth.

Nair, Kusum. In Defense of the Irrational Peasant: Indian Agriculture after the Green Revolution. Chicago:

University of Chicago Press, 1979. This book was written within 10 years of the effects of the revolution being felt, and therefore we gave it more credence than some of the more recent books. The book provides quotations from farmers and Indian officials of the time, and gives an insight into what motivated even illiterate peasants to adopt new technology so fast.

Pearse, Andrew C. Seeds of Plenty, Seeds of Want: Social and Economic Implications of the Green Revolution. New York: Oxford University Press, 1980. This book explained in detail the consequences of the Green Revolution on third world countries economy, as well as on poverty and hunger. It gave us insight into the far reaching implications of the Green Revolution.

Pepper, Daniel. The Toxic Consequences of the Green Revolution. US News and World Report July 7, 2008. This article focuses on the detrimental consequences of the Green Revolution. It criticizes the overuse of chemicals and pesticides in Green Revolution farming, which rural farmers often dont know how to properly handle, contaminating soil and water. It gave us a clearer understanding of the materials used in the Green Revolutions advent as well as the environmentally threatening consequences of using such amounts of chemicals.

Perkins, John H. Geopolitics and the Green Revolution: Wheat, Genes, and the Cold War. New York: Oxford University Press, 1997. We were not able to procure this full book, but read excerpts from it reproduced in other works. The book analyzes the motivations for US aid to India in the late 1950s and 1960s, highlighting both humanitarian and geopolitical concerns.

Web. 2 Apr. 2012. http://http://www.ag.auburn.edu/adm/comm/agillustrated/Winter04/nobel.html. This article revealed many interesting anecdotes about how Dr. Borlaug was able to bypass Indian government bureaucracy in order to get HYV seeds adopted.

Sain, Inder. Transformation of Punjab Agriculture. Delhi: B.R. Publishing, 1987. This book gave us interesting anecdotes about farmers behavior, both during the early phases of the

revolution and once the situation has settled to everyone using HYV wheat and rice seeds. It tells us of the different impact on different-sized farms.

Sebby, Kathryn. The Green Revolution of the 1960s and Its Impact on Small Farmers in India. Diss. University of Nebraska at Lincoln, 2010. This thesis primarily examines the widened gap between rich farmers and poor farmers as a result of the Green Revolution. Historical norms and laws, larger farms swallowing smaller farms, uneven distribution of Green Revolution technology, among other things, contributed to the increased gap. This gave us one large unintended consequence of innovation being forced to produce results quickly.

Singh, Seema. "Pumping Punjab Dry." IEEE Spectrum. IEEE June 2010. Web. 05 Apr. 2012.http://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/environment/pumping-punjab-dry/0. This paper gives a graphic account of over-irrigation and perverse incentives that the government provides to farmers to keep pumping ground water out to their farms. This provided us a view into the unintended consequences of the Green Revolution, and also suggested how things can be improved.

Sharma, Arun. "Punjab: What Did the Green Revolution Do to It?" Youth Ki Awaaz: Mouthpiece for the Youth. Youth KI Awaz, 18 Feb. 2010. Web. 05 Apr. 2012. http://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2010/02/punjab-what-did-the-green-revolution-do-to-it/. This article provides a modern view of the prosperity of Punjab, without being influenced by the early issues around the Green Revolution. It showed us the progress the state has made over the last 40 something years.

Sharma, M.L. and T.M. Dak. Green Revolution and Social Change. Delhi: Ajanta Publications, 1989. This book showed us bureaucrats were initially unhelpful to farmers, but how government policy change created the incentives for farmers to adopt HYV seeds and new agricultural methods. The book goes into a lot of detail into exactly where the seeds were first tested and the early outcome.

Shiva, Vandana. The Violence of the Green Revolution. London: Zed Books, 1991. This is a book written from the environmentalist/green point of view. It provided us a passionate counterpoint to the very dry and fact-driven commentary in many other books. This book elaborated the motivation behind some of the recent revisionist viewpoint about the Green Revolution.

Shiva, Vandana. The green revolution in Punjab. The Ecologist, 21.2 (1991). Web. 2 Apr. 2012. http://livingheritage.org/green-revolution.htm This article heavily criticizes the Green Revolution, deeming it a failure due to its destruction of the environment, rural impoverishment, displacement of poorer farmers, spreading of diseases, etc. It rejects the idea that the Green Revolution saved millions of people from starvation, putting forth evidence of Indian reform of agricultural policy built on strengthening the ecology of the land and making the peasants more self reliant. This link provided many of the negative aspects and consequences of the Green Revolution, as well as throwing a light on the political maneuvering to make it look far better than in reality.

Shrivastava, Mohan, Nilima Sahay, V.P. Vidyarthi and Surendra Singh. Second Green Revolution vs Rainbow Revolution. New Delhi: Deep & Deep Publications, 2010. This book talks about how, going forward, the Green Revolution technologies need to be applied in a different, less environmentally-impactful way.

Simon, Julian Lincoln. Population matters: People, Resources, Environment, and Immigration. Piscataway: Transaction Publishers, 1990. This book gave us much useful information. For example, the book discussed lifeboat ethics where richer countries ignored the overcrowded poorer countries in favor of maintaining themselves. In addition, it describes the bleak circumstances surrounding the time briefly before the Green Revolution. A particularly enlightening part of the book illustrated how the Green Revolution was not due to only a miracle crop, but increased incentive for farmers to cultivate more land, showing how economic policy also helped spur the revolution.

Singh, Himmat. Green Revolutions Reconsidered. New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2001. This book takes a detailed view of the impact of the Green Revolution on Punjab. It provides a positive and approving view of the changes, but does also provides data about the state of the local economy generally, not confined just to farmers.

Swaminathan, M. S. "From Green to an Ever-Green Revolution." Worldscibooks.com. Worldscibooks, 2 Dec. 1971. Web. 2 Apr. 2012. http://www.worldscibooks.com/etextbook/7414/7414_chap01.pdf. The author was considered the most influential Indian scientist behind the Green Revolution in India. He has a vested interest in claiming the revolution as a total success, so it was instructive to see how he, too, pointed out the ill side-effects of the revolution.

Varshney, Ashutosh. Democracy, Development and the Countryside: Urban-Rural Struggles in India. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1998. This book detailed the Malthusian theories current prior to the Green Revolution, as well as how the democratic realities in India compelled the government to eliminate the procurement of food from farmers at an imposed price.

Whaley, Floyd. Digging into the Green Revolution. Development Asia, April-June 2010. Web. 2 Apr. 2012. http://development.asia/PDF/issue07/greenrevolution-devasia7.pdf. This article gives a modern Asian view of Dr. Borlaug's legacy, and of the Green Revolution itself. The article also looks at more recent agricultural innovations like genetically modified crops.

Interviews
Perkins, John H. Personal interview. 06 April 2012. We interviewed Prof. Perkins via email. He is Professor Emeritus at Evergreen State College at Olympia. He is the author of a famous and well cited book (op. cit.) on the history of the Green Revolution, and in particular about the geopolitical angle. We obtained a great deal of insight from Prof. Perkins analysis of the nature of the US aid to India, and also the parallels between the impact of the Green Revolution on Indian farmers who had to give up farming and the earlier agricultural advances in Europe and America.

Agrawal, Harish Chandra. Personal interview. 01 April 2012. We interviewed Mr. Harish Chandra Agrawal by phone. He is the grandfather of one of us (Adarsh Mital). He is an industrialist in North India and has done business for a long time with Punjab, so he travels there and also employs people from there. We interviewed him because he personally lived through the food shortages in India during the 1940s to 1960s, and knows firsthand how Indians experienced the US food aid, which was given in the form of types of grain previously unfamiliar to them.
