Even a Rohith Vemula is not enough for India to acknowledge the scale of misery its students face in a country that places high premium on excelling at all cost.
According to HRD ministry data, nearly 10,000 students have committed suicide between 2016 and 2018 every year, with the highest number registered in Maharashtra.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Couldn’t agree more. As much as I condole the untimely demise of SSR, I think its blown out of proportion. I believe Rhea wasn’t the ideal gf, but SSR was not a kid. Even if he was stuck on a bad relationship, why his family never flew to Mumbai to stay with him. Even after Rhea left, his sister was there for 4 days and returned back home citing her domestic duties. Why is it so difficult for us to accept that mental health issue is real and its larger than we can imagine.
Anyway….my concern is how come we are immune to people dying in landslide in kerala, people dying because of lack of medical facilities, people commitung suicides, young girls getting raped and murdered and the list continues…but we become activist for sensationalism.
I know my opinion will draw a lot of flak, but this is my opinion and stand by it.
Ignorant piece of writing. Comparing deaths is actually very disgusting and lame. yes, students are dying, caste-based and gender violence is an epidemic, but that does not mean one has to ignore Sushant’s case or not grieve. This is typical virtue signaling and false association. Do better.
What a horrible article, never heard of this ‘print’ news media and even this is bought?? SHUBHANGI MISRA, you are not competent enough to do your job and you question when other ‘real’ journalists come up with leads? and how dare you add ‘If you think we deserve your support, do join us in this endeavour to strengthen fair, free, courageous, and questioning journalism’ shame on you no one will support you!!
Idiot piece of news! At least this is a step in the right direction, where everyone now has the time and energy to fight for what is right. Baby steps are important!
Are you an idiot? This is murder by high profile people. Why Aditya Thackeray is not coming out and saying that he was not present in both parties. Let’s run their cell phone number location to see where were these fellows. Sooraj Pancholi, Arbaz Khan, Aditya Thackeray, Siddhartha Pithani, Showik etc.
Your piece is not addressing the crime but talking about other facets of suicidal issues that our society faces.
Don’t mix the two issues. I am sure that you got some money to detract the thinking of Indian public.
बोल जमूरे क्या बात है ??
गुरु सोच रहा हूँ हालांकि कोरोना चल रहा है, लेकिन जिस तरह से बिहार के एक आईपीएस अधिकारी को मुंबई में क्वारंटाइन किया गया है वह संदिग्ध लग रहा है !!
और गुरु यह भी आश्चर्य की बात है कि बिहार सरकार ने भी सीबीआई जांच के लिए या तथा कतिथ मुंबई पुलिस द्वारा किये जा रहे असहयोग के विरुद्ध अभी तक अदालत का दरवाजा नहीं खटखटाया है ?? मीडिया मामले को उछाल रहा है और इसका फायदा किसको हो रहा है ? ऐसा लग रहा है कि आने वाले बिहार चुनाव तक शतरंज का खेल चलता रहेगा ?
जमूरे नहीं समझा, सब कुछ पाल-टिक्स है !!
According to the print,everything has to be about caste and patriarchy and misogyny and always the girl is the poor victim..but whatever.. democracy me sahna padta hai.. i read these leftist news outlets to get their perspective..nothing else
Student death is very bad as our education system has started to evolve that issue might also get resolved. Why there is a comparison between SSR death and student death. Are out out of your mind. When a death case can have so many suspicion can expose Bollywood mafia or can expose some politician on some big case you ended up comparing two completely different issue. I dont expect any thing else. you could have given the attention on everyone changing their statements but know you want to save someone., such a shame.
Print has again come out in the support of the rotten people of this country. Although the case is under investigation, but print have decided to declare it as suicide.Because this sold rotten journalist think that people will believe whatever she writes. Shame on you
So do you want us to stop talking about Sushant or what? Sorry, we won’t. Just when the time is right to expose the corrupt bigwigs of Bollywood, well-informed portals like you are diluting the entire situation. And the article is so disrespectful to the departed soul. You undermine his death. You insult the fans who are raising their voice? You could have just said that suicides are happening in other places too instead of dragging us here. Justice for Sushant. Boycott Bollywood.
Howndare u be inreaponsible in your journalisim u claim its suicde but the report the police have given is intermetinet u should say possible no sucide note left this is inprper and unprofessional journalisim have reported you to the head of india press council and i work in a international press office. Sickening.
Excellent analysis, very few had shown the courage to call spade for spade. Some bollywood actors have no work for last four months, so SSR suicide has come handy to get media attention.
Answer to your Why – question, plain and simple, it may have not been a suicide to begin with. Remember the term foul play??
I agree with you that so many people commit suicide and nobody is bothered about them. But think positive, with SSRs example, the common man will realize not to move on but demand justice !! That’s why all this uproar And protest on media is actually good. Infact its happening during pandemic has given people time to stop and think About the malpractices that happen on daily basis be it in medical field or police dept , forensics (oh sorry this department probably does not even exist in India) and of course politics !!
Oh yes, of course you’ve been paid by Mumbai police and or other high profile involved people, so shut the….

The SSR’s investigation will open up pandora’s box not only about the film industry but also the nexus between the Film Industry-Politician to some extent police nexus. The proper investigation may give rise to set up transparency and regulatory guidelines. What Shekhar has said in his clutter video is a cent percent fact. Especially about so-called media covering the film/entertainment field. As they associated me with the Jury related work though I was with the Corporate background, I keenly watched & had personal expereience
So do not bring in new issues and disturb the focus. Those or different issues especially the Jaipur education lobby which claim that these suicides are due to parental pressure more than the academic reason. Thanks
There are worthwhile questions aimed at here , but no answers .Life is a rat race , yes , people go to kota to get ahead , yes , some fail , yes and some find not worth living after failure , yes .Then what ? what is the solution ?
What the f did I read? From suicides to casteism? Seems like the author is just driving her agenda as Kangana is. Shameful.

Well said, I agree with you as a psychiatrist.
Retard we are talking about a murder allegation here. Comparing apples to oranges.
Classic false equivalency and virtue signaling. Learn better and then write better.
