What happens to families in the absence of sons? What happens to land in the absence of farmers? What happens to villages in the absence of men?

As the promise of a secure future in agriculture grows increasingly uncertain for young men across the region, escaping India to join the low-wage labor in countries like Canada and USA becomes their sole aspiration. In rural Punjab, being a successful man now entails leaving their village, traveling abroad, and sending money home.
