Given the population of India, this really isn't a surprise. The suicide rate in India is still several times lower than that of other countries. In almost all countries, more men commit suicide.

Does this have anything to do with the farmer suicides? With all the corporate farms putting Indian farmers so heavily in debt, that their only option is seemingly to take their own lives to escape . Sorry I didn't read the article before posting. I am a redditor afterall

The problem appears to be worse in the US, at least for men:

And every 36 hours an Indian woman is set on fire by her mother in law.

Guess who are they gonna talk about in the news!

Saw an article on a different subreddit talking about how suicide rates were up among Indian farmers.... So it's either the fact that they're married or the fact that seed prices are digging them into infinite debt.... or perhaps something in between.......
