ADV--PHOTO TO GO WITH STORY SLUG: BC-INDIA-FARMERS' SUICIDE BY RAMOLA TALWAR -- Ravi Jaggu gets ready to cycle to work as his grandfather and young neighbours sit outside their thatched hut in Bhimnagar Tanda village, 165 kms north of Hyderabad, state capital of Andhra Pradesh state. Ravi's father was the first of more than 150 farmers to commit suicide by swallowing a pesticide which failed to kill black caterpillars that ruined his cotton crops. A decision by many farmers not to vote will affect election results in this state. (AP Photo/Anil Kumar)
