The causes for the growth of agricultural labourers are as follows :
(i) Increase in population.
(ii) Decline of cottage and handicraft industries.
(iii) Increased indebtedness.
(iv) Eviction of small farmers and tenants from the land.

During the monsoon season, the fishermen cannot go to the sea because it is when the fish breed. These months are the most difficult ones. They survive by borrowing money from traders. Because of this, they face the problem of selling fish to traders the low prices and cannot do their own auctions

The rural poor people do not earn much money to meet their both ends or to survive with the little money they earn. Therefore, they spend much time on collecting household things like firewood from forest, fetching water from distant borewell, grazing their cattle etc.

Thulasi and Raman's one of the daughters fell ill and had to be taken to the hospital in town. They borrowed money from Ramalingam, so to pay back the money they had to sell their cow.

Both Sekar's and Aruna's families have to borrow because Sekar's family owns about 2 acres of land and produces about 60 bags of paddy, which is not sufficient for his family. So, he has to borrow money. Aruna's family has to borrow money because four months in a year are the breeding season and men cannot go to the sea.
Similarities
(i) Both have to work very hard, from morning till evening to earn their living.
(ii) Both are under the clutches of the traders, from whom they have borrowed money.
Differences
(i) Sekar is a small farmer and Aruna is a fisherwoman.
(ii) Sekar has to do additional work, while Aruna does not need so.
