ABSTRACT: In recent years, "security" has become a major concern. Faced with a variety of potential threats ranging from terrorism and computer viruses to fraud and organised crime, many people believe the world is becoming increasingly unsafe. But what we are unaware of is that internal policy decisions could also impact the wellbeing of the people after which they can revolt against the government and could have devastating impacts on the economy. The present paper discusses how the farming economy if remains unstable could be a major cause of internal security in India. The paper also takes into account the recent famers revolts on the outskirts of Delhi and also reviews flawed farming policies which hampers the development of the rural faming sector. The policies today need to cater the financial needs of the marginal farmers as they remain impacted the most.
