In Jammu and Kashmir an annual fair is held in the name of Baba Jitu, a simple and honest farmer who preferred to kill himself rather than submit to the unjust demands of the local landlord to part with his crop. He killed himself in the village of Jhiri, 15km from Jammu. Jitto sat on the heap of grain and stabbed himself with a dagger and all the grains were smeared with his blood.
