It would be moot to discuss the relative care these men are given by patriarchal societies as against women or their western counterparts. But I think you want to draw attention to the possibility that the young men committing suicide in this movement may be actually deprived of care (?) then, that is the reason I mentioned that observation, to compare and contrast; are these students mostly relocated from known environs, find themselves isolated, carry an unbearable burden of expectations etc, that makes them more susceptible to suicides. How are these reasons linked to the telengana movement?<br /><br />In the case of farmers suicides also, the numbers are predominantly male. Male suicides as a phenomenon I think, has to be partly understood in the context of patriarchal pressures on them, especially those operating on men from lower middle class and the poor. <br /><br />All instincts and cognition is geared towards staying alive, ascribing mass hysteria to such a powerful reversal of human nature is too superficial a reason to explain suicides happening in hundreds.anuhttp://castory.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-46655880081508015202010-02-26T08:08:35.336+05:302010-02-26T08:08:35.336+05:30@anu,

Be it psychological or physical.<br /><br /> What I mean is that we Indians are easily swayed by mass hysteria and propaganda. This is one of the reasons we have the most number of fake swamis and evangelicals in this country.<br /><br /><br /> And what evidence do you have to prove that young men in patriarchal societies are extensively cared?Bhanu Prasadhttp://politics.bhanuprasad.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-6668075620801205042010-02-26T01:00:08.580+05:302010-02-26T01:00:08.580+05:30"He/she makes decision based on intuition and..."He/she makes decision based on intuition and emotion, rather than stone cold linear thinking exhibited by the west."<br /><br />Bhanu, i am not sure, if this is because of the linear thinking of the west which saves them from taking their lives or if it is because of the very extensive psychiatric care available through all life stages as a normal course. for Indians this aspect of care is non existent especially for lower middle class and the poor. and they are subjected to enormous amount of stress on a daily basis, i don't think the suicides of Indian youth in this movement can be so easily explained. <br /><br />that said, in my univ, a high stress place, the maximum number of suicides is by asian males. all kinds of explanations have been put forth, including the observation that asian males find themselves completely ignored by the western society and these being extra bright young men from patriarchal societies that lavish attention on them, this isolation tips them over. still doubt if we can say these men typically make emotional decisions.anuhttp://castory.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-61916652983744026512010-02-26T00:09:55.891+05:302010-02-26T00:09:55.891+05:30It's rather simple.

He/she makes decision based on intuition and emotion, rather than stone cold linear thinking exhibited by the west. So our populace can be easily swayed these suicides and immolations. The word of "300 suicides" would allow them to capture the interest of the nation.<br />Hence the political classes have been using this as a weapon to advance their political career's. <br /><br /> The most admirable part is that Center has refused to bow down to pressure and appointed a committee to look into these issue.Bhanu Prasadhttp://politics.bhanuprasad.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-7361802553966808022010-02-25T20:27:20.455+05:302010-02-25T20:27:20.455+05:30Nice article kufr.....we already know this and Tam...Nice article kufr.....we already know this and Tamrind fruit owners are driving this....we need to catch them while they are naked.Blueshifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10192639568580051315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-49300023413747881212010-02-25T19:54:40.763+05:302010-02-25T19:54:40.763+05:30There are no jobs.
