Great start Jay! Of course, a lot of stuff can be added. Statistics regarding agricultural production over the last century, more historical details including zamindari system, land reforms etc, maps showing what is produced where and when (details of Rabi and Kharif crops), more details of problems facing the Indian agriculture, changing patterns (more cash crops etc), practices involved in agriculture (like 'jhoom' cultivation in the Northeast), to mention some. deeptrivia (talk) 03:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, very good start. But there is a huge historical jump from prehistory to post independence. I am working on "Tractors in India" and am searching for history of tractors in India pre and post Independence and would appreciate any suggestions on where to find this. As for this website there are known historic writings on the precursors to ICAR the setting up the royal institute for ag sciences in Pusa, Bihar now Rajendra Agricultural University. I will try to share some these soon.. SEJustice 08:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
