Eventhough India is experiencing great economic growth, it's still riddled with poverty

That is devastatingly sad.

Just because it happens all the time doesn't make it right though.

what a stupid bitch, kills herself just because she cant have a bowl of rice that she wants... its not like she wasnt getting fed at home... its would be like a kid over here killing himself because his mum wouldnt buy him a toy that he wanted

You go to a selective school yet can't read deeper into the story? *sigh*

As for Damage Inc's point, i agree there has to be more factors involved. It could be that she was dwelling on many negative thoughts which accumulated and then at this final one... she snapped...

a true point majinR there must be more to the story but it could also be one of those look what happens overseas (give your money and they'll have a better life) ha yeah right bloody idiots
sorry went off on a tangent there..

i wish everywhere around the world - the government would give free food in public schools at least- like in the US and the UK... oh i forgot... those are rich countries.

just say - if they sell one of their nukes on the black market- they can get a billion puffed rice cakes and give them out at schools. (i know, not gonna happen... blah blah blah!)

That report was an utterly moronic oversimplification of what is a very serious issue. I'm not going to bother considering the deeper psycholigcal issues that led to her suicide, but I'm disappointed at the way the situation has been trivialized.

'One-rupee suicide', huh? Sounds like the name of a Murder She Wrote episode.
How very 'light and offbeat'.
Good job BBC.

At least she had food in her belly. Other people have been through worse and survived. Its still depressing, dont worry I do have a heart.. Somewhere..
