Many Indian villages are returning to bartering amid a nationwide cash crisis.

Hard currency is in short supply following the government’s surprise decision to scrap 500 and 1,000 rupee notes in an effort to curb corruption.

The BBC visited a village in the state of West Bengal to meet farmers and labourers who are trying desperately to survive without cash in hand.
