The poem is trying to raise the issue of inequality. Often when we think of farmers who own land, we think of men. Women are seen as people who work on fields, but not as people who own agricultural land. Till recently in some states, Hindu women did not get a share in the family’s agricultural land. After the death of the father his property was divided equally only among his sons.

Yes, this is an important issue because daughters should also have equal rights as the sons as it is the responsibility of the parents to look after all of their children.
