Another sad factor that came out of this report was that more Indian men were ending their lives compared to the women, whereas traditionally in the Indian macho image, men were supposed to be mentally and physically stronger, and be able to support their families and the country, through rough times.
A wise man once said, “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.” Every problem has a solution, and every good and bad time passes by. As this cowardly act is on the increase, especially amongst the educated, I am hoping that the Indian Govt is not ignoring the problem still. And along with the numbers from my other article about 7000 baby girls being murdered every single day in the “Incredible†India , now the numbers look even higher with one suicide every 4.2 minutes!
Farmers Suicides in the Incredible India: Although National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data confirm an appalling 1.5 lakh (150,000) farm suicides between 1997 and 2005, the figure is probably much higher. Worse, the farmers’ suicide rate (FSR) - number of suicides per 100,000 farmers - is also likely to be much higher than the disturbing 12.9 thrown up in the 2001 Census. The main causes of farmers’ suicides are:
Some Horrific Statistics from the “Incredible†India:
2007 saw More than one lakh (100,000) persons (1,22,637) in the country lost their lives by committing suicide during the year 2007. This indicates an increase of 3.8% over the previous year’s figure (1,18,112).
Although suicide was a nationwide phenomenon, five states - Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka - registered consistently higher number of suicidal deaths during the last few years.
Mass/Family Suicides in the “Incredible†India: A cowardly act as some may consider it, was traditionally done as individuals, but it seems to have entered its advanced shape in the “Incredible India”. A Mass or Family suicide is when family members have committed suicide jointly under a common pact 264 deaths at the national level under common pact of Mass/Family suicides consisting of 118 males and 146 females were reported as per the information available. The available statistics reveal that there were 25 mass suicidal deaths consisting of 13 males and 12 females in mega cities.
Causes of Suicides in the “Incredible†India: The number of suicides due to ‘Dowry Dispute’ showed a sharp increase of 34.8% The States/UTs which reported higher share of suicides due to ‘Family problems’ after Puducherry (50.3%), were Chandigarh (47.6), Kerala (42.3%), D & N Haveli (42.1%), Meghalaya (34.5%), Maharashtra (34.3%) Tamil Nadu (31.4%), Himachal Pradesh (28.4%), Orissa (27.4%), Tripura (25.5%) and Uttarakhand (24.2%).
Teens of the Incredible India: According to a study conducted by the Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, teens have the world’s highest suicide rate. Globally the suicide rate stands at 14.5 deaths per 100,000, with suicide being the fourth leading cause of death in the age group of 15 to 18. However, in the CMC study, suicide was the number one cause of death among Indian adolescents. According to the National Crime Records Bureau, about 2,555 adolescents ended their lives in 2005 in India - among them 1,328 boys and 1,227 girls. The suicide rate went up by 175 percent from 1967 to 1999, the figures said. According to the current statistics in 2007, it has now gone above 300 percent.
Diamond Suicides of the Incredible India:
Nine suicides in 15 days: depressed diamond workers in grip of death wish!! There has been a recent surge in the diamond mines in India, and 9 Indian miners have committed suicide in 15 days when this report was published on 30th December 2008. According to the report, no official statements were made regarding the suicides, and the authorities were even bracing for more death in what the Indian press called the “Diamond Suicides”.

Indians may dream to become the world super power one day, and may want to have an unparalleled economical presence on the globe, but a nation who wants to reach such heights also needs a strong mind set, and the ability to deal with pressure and crisis, be it economical pressure, social, domestic, or political. In the current situation where India seems to be doing far better than 10 years ago economically, Indians seem to be losing the ability to deal with the hardship of life. When the going gets tough, the Indians are increasingly turning to suicide as a solution. Times of India reported a staggering 336 suicides EVERY DAY during the last year (more than 1 suicide every 5 minutes), based on the latest report of the

Basing all facts on the numbers can mess any statistics. When people write their own articles they realize the inside truth and not people cutting and pasting articles.
The numbers in India are high only for the fact that almost 1/6th of worlds population is in India. India is ranked quite low whenn it comes to “suicide rate” and even your brothers from US and China have higher rates.
Pakistan is not on the list because there is a debate if suicide bombers (most originating from Pak) can be considered as Humans at all. There were more than 56 suicide attacks in Pak (I omit the attacks on other nations) in 2008 claiming 900 lives and injuring more than 2000. Considering Pakistan Population to be 1/7th of India and using the same numbers it would have been 56*7 = 392 attacks, 900*7 = 6300 deaths, 2000*7 = 14000 injuries.
Incredible India I still say
Does PRO Pakistan mean ANTI India ?
I have repeatedly asked this without an answer.
Y R U EVEN BOTHERED ABOUT PROBLEMS THAT DO NOT CONCERN YOU ????
Its India’s problem. Leave us to solve it.
Or if you know a solution, let us know.
Dont say you are just discussing an issue here. I never saw a discussion on
Africa’s problems here. which are worse that yours or ours ???
Y dont you concentrate on your internal problems first?
Once they are resolved, THEN bother about ours.
Y dont u steer all these effors to your development ?
Become a developed country in the next 25 years.
It will be like slap in the face for us… we will learn from you too then.
This kind of criticism will only worsen everyones mindset and relations.
What do you gain from it ?
Although much smaller country, you have higher sucide rates per 100 people in ur country….. Why take so much interest and learn geography about other country and teach hatred against other human beings who are made up of same mud.
I guess Incredible India was picked up from the lady on news channel who ofc hated India for blaming Pakistan for terror attacks. But the fact of matter no matter how much u try to hide, will always come to haunt u in the end. Despite media claims of Indian arrests, there was not even a single news of what happened after that. So clear manipulation of media as anti India. Oh but thanks for collecting data of my country………..
I learn so much about it’s history and geography by reading this forum..lol
Why do you worry about India? How many of your brothers die as suicide bombers everyday worldwide? That too without any benefit to anybody? Stop fooling poor guys and trapping them. You have 1000000s of problems. Solve them 1st.
You are educated. Created this website. Use this for the development of pakistan.
just wanted to believe the article for ur sake but couldnt do so.. india is doing economically quite well as compared to other countries in asia and other contries in the world as well. may i request ur attention to the un-accountable problems faced by ur own people.
Agree with Hasshita 100%. Does Pro-Pakistan = Anti-India? I went into the “about” page to check out the purpose of this website, here’s what the page starts with: “Pro Pakistan is a platform for Pakistani community to express their selves”. It goes on to say “Thing that matters here is the thought that can bring an improvement in status quo, no matter how small is the change”. Towards the end,: “Hope, Pro Pakistan presents voice of Pakistan!”. Well if this is the “voice of Pakistan” and [Pakistains] expressing themselves means taking pot shots at India I am really awed! I also wonder if the site owners feel that pot shots at India can bring improvement for Pakistan and Pakistanis; if they really seek improvement.

@Balvinder
More math
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1265736.stm
The number of mentally ill patients in India is a 25M and which is way higher than Pakistan at 14M (1 in 10 !!! also read as You have one friend who is mentally challenged for ever 10 friends you have known)
http://www.dawn.com/weekly/education/archive/080817/education3.htm
On a quick math if Pakistan had the population of India at 1B+ the number of mentally ill patients would be a mere 100M which beats the population of many nations in the world.
Just imagine the suicide rate when you have 100M mentally ill patients.
I also infer it is the same reason you have suicide bombing every week with 140M population or make suicide bombing a everyday affair when you have 1B population.
in this article there was a reference about kerala. i am from kerala and the situation here is completely different from what the author of the article thinks. in my state which is ruled by the iron grip of communist party of India, there is no actual development. all the money comes from hard working malayalis from the gulf. there is no industry since communists wont allow the growth of industries. so due to frequent strikes and vandalism all industries has shifted from kerala. now thee is no work . and since our state is so far away from all the harshness of like war (which so frequently happens in the case of north India, and mainly to the parts close to Pakistan) our people are more pron to even minor stress. even with a minor stress they start to think of suicide as an answer. in my state it is so frequent for a student to commit suicide if his teacher scolds him.
But Kelu do peoples only think sucied the only option left? Don’t they think about the families or their suns and daughters behind them ?
This seems so sad.

My reply: The article and the facts presented are about the SUICIDES in India, and brings to life a real problem within India which is not related to suicide bombings, as suicide bombings are a totally different problem within India as it is arising very quicly as a nation producing Hindu fundamentalists at an alarming rate.
IF you are concerned with the bombings side of suicides then please see these other articles on pro_pak here:
“BJP Government and Hindu fundamentalists BOTH against Christians in Orissa”

All these indians trying to shoot the messenger while turning their ugly faces away from the reality that is presented.
The link to this suicidal report from indians themselves is here(if any one wants to focus on the problem):
http://ncrb.nic.in/ADSI2007/Suicides07.pdf
There were over one lakh reported incidents of suicides among farmers in India in six years between 1998 and 2003, but the media has done very little to bring understanding of this issue, especially the broadcast medium, according to a report by the CMS (Centre for Media Studies), New Delhi, an autonomous research body dealing with developmental issues.
Above info is from :
http://www.ocms.in/content/view/959/9/
which is presented by the indians themselves.
Seems like India has a real problem but people commenting here may be dont want to correct india. may be more interested in what is going on in Pakistan, THATS WHY THEY ARE HERE :)
No point shooting the messenger i say. Focus on the issue.
@Pakistan lver,
“Although much smaller country, you have higher sucide rates per 100 people in ur country”
Stop talking thru ur back side m8. Even the Wiki shows Pakistan is no where near the suicidal indians.
Actually the wiki link shows that almost all the Muslim countries are right at the bottom.
But hey. dont get upset now…..we dont want you jumping off a high building or something in your anger when yousee this list !!!!

@hindustani
“Why do you worry about India? ”
Oye who told u v worry…..IT SHOULD BE YOU who gets worried by reading these stats. And isntead you start pointing your fingers elswhere……..just like your failed leaders of a failed DEMOCRACY (what a rediculous name for a police state where police itself is terrorists and helps the army to carry out attackes on minorities)……..whenever there is an internal report coming out shoing the indian army to be linked with hindu terrorists, you kill the investigating officers, kill your own and poinjt fingers at other….exactly same attitude……what else to expect from indians at pro-Pakistan :)
kelu,
Thanks for speaking up the truth about your state Kerala m8. The indian students need to be a bit tougher i guess. I am well aware of the Malyalis , i have some friends here in Malaysia too. Good people. And bravo to you for being honest. Other Indians here seem to only focus on who why where the report comes from rather than speaking the truth, and worrying about the issue. I feel sorry for those who close their eyes to their nation dying like this at this HIGH rate.
@All Smile,
From your link it shows these alarming words about India……..
*************************************
The Indian case
Among the events marking World Mental Health Day was a parade through the Indian capital, Delhi.
Campaigners described the neglect of people with psychiatric disability in the country as a national emergency.
The head of India’s Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences said women faced the greatest problems, including being abandoned by their families following psychiatric illness.
He said that in his own institute, there were people who had been cured up to 20 years ago, but had nowhere to go.
Many of the issues surrounding mental illness in India are common to the developing world.
But the BBC’s South Asia correspondent Mike Wooldridge says problems in India can be particularly acute because of its ever-growing population and limited public resources.
Nearly 25 million people in India are in need of mental health services.
****************************
That is a crazy number of crazy people in your blood thirsty crazy suicidal country…..ironically called INCREDIBLE INDIA BY SOME HERE!!!!!!!
A very well researched article Balvinder Singh. It has truly added to my knowledge. The only thing i fear is that Indians will also blame Pakistan for it as there might be some Dadmal Fasad in RAW arsenal to implicate us.
@pravinj
Wat????
Is it because you dont want to see your own Indian problems on the net ????
Is it because none of your family member are farmers, or workers who are comitting suicide?
Why be so ignorant to such a huge problem in India where you are killing yourself at 1 every 4.2 minutes? Does it not shock you?
And after knowing about the problem, the best reply you can give is to tell others to focus elsewhere????? how about your own focus?
How comes it doesnt bother you? and if it does, then lets hear some words from you about this SUICIDAL HINDUSTANNNNNN
Peace.
@Azire
You seem more worried about pro_Pakistan than this apauling rate of suicides in India.
Your and other Indian’s attitude sucks, and doesnt suit a person who is telling others to worry about their own problems, while pointing out problems in other countries yourself. Why dont you worry about this problem in your smelly, dirty, India instead of telling others toworry about theirs?
if you dont like the article and the figures, then go and read some rosey situations presented by your leaders in Kashmir then…….what the **** are you here to read about problems in pakistan for ??
you indians seem happy enough to visit the site to read about the problems Pakistan faces, but you are not happy to know your own issues that are killing your people…
Well done pro-Pakistan, I am now your regular reader, as I find it fair thet you show the Pakistani issues as well as Islamic issues, as well as issues faced by the poor countries around you.
Thank you, and keep up the good work pro_Pakistan.
@Pakistan_lvr
“I learn so much about it’s history and geography by reading this forum”
Thats the real spirit friend. While you are being sarcy, this is the real attitude you Indians should have instead of shooting the messsenger.
A real eye opener for all Asians. Indian government should start worrying about these issues unless this is your way of population control in India :)
“more than 1 suicide every 5 minutes”
NO WAY!!!
How long will it take before our Punjab is clear of Beharis at this rate? :)
Any famous mathmeticians here ? :)
and! he even took Junaid Khan’s name to praise himself.
HASSITA,
LOL @ It will be like slap in the face for us
Why are you so keen to be slapped…..is this article not already enough of a slap…….I think you love a bit of a slap dont ya boy??????
moderators, why does that one guy’s comments go on and on? uncanny doesnt it seem?
Is that guy in picture picking his nose?
UGGGGHHHHH DIRTY INDIANS OR WAT!! FANCY DOING THAT WHEN HAVING A PIC TAKEN :)
oh, i realised even KELU is a part of it… he thinks keralites have name like KELU and Panjabi have name like.. Panju? lol
@Junaid,
Is this comment really from you?
“M Junaid Khan on January 6th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
A very well researched article Balvinder Singh”
???
pravinj,
What do you mean by “just wanted to believe the article for ur sake but couldnt do so.. india is doing economically quite well”
The link to the report from indians is clearly linked. Just click on it and see. whats there to disbelief?
And I repeat here you own words to you”may i request ur attention to the un-accountable problems faced by ur own people.” instead of denying the facts provided by this report by the Indians themselves?
http://ncrb.nic.in/ADSI2007/Suicides07.pdf
Junaid,
Thanks for your kind comments. Most of the info here is from the Indian suicidal reports (or should I say suicidal Indian reports) themselves.
LOL @ “Dadmal Fasad in RAW arsenal to implicate us”
You are right though, its very possible given the recent efforts by our Indian friends. Amazing thing is, Indians writing here almost never accept anything thats wrong with India….so it must be true what they say….”Incredible India” :) :)
Which now BTW translates to: The Genocidal India, The Racist India, The Fundamentalist India, The Terrorist India, The Filthy India, The foeticidal India, and not to forget The Suicidal India.
Well stop worrying about neighbors when you don’t know whether the lights will go off while writing message on this blog. Recently,
On what stand can you demand Kashmir from India? don’t u know Pakistan was also part of India.
…Which now BTW translates to: The Genocidal India, The Racist India, The Fundamentalist India, The Terrorist India, The Filthy India, The foeticidal India, and not to forget The Suicidal India.
—– This is a Pakistani Point of view
For the world and other 6B-140M, we have a small word for Pakistan “A FAILED STATE”. I do appreciate the lengths you go to using google as your nuclear weapon and paste stupid links. I see one positve outcome from such research So many lesser terrorist in the world since they are doing better things than follow some jihadist.
Me thinks …

You say: “This is a Pakistani Point of view”
My reply: Let me clarify you on this point please. NONE of these “qualities” of the “Incredible India” are a Pakistani view. In fact they are based on independent reports and most of them published by the Indians themselves. Some from UNICEF, Mercer, Bloomberg /other news, NCRB India etc. Here are the details of exactly where the articles are, and where the data is from, which clearly shows that NONE of these reports are actually from Pakistan. Welcome to the world that knows India as it is: The Genocidal India, The Racist India, The Fundamentalist India, The Terrorist India, The Filthy India, The foeticidal India, and not to forget The Suicidal India.

Please talk about the topic here. If you have nothing to say about this topic, but want to talk about other topics, then please use the links I have provided above for each post.
