University of Hyderabad case

This chap who committed suicide in University of Hyderabad was murdered. It is very painful for me to read a suicide letter. In fact there were various links on websites where his suicide letter was there and the fact of the matter is I feel revulsion and could not even read one line of it. A person who is "dead and gone" and reading his last words is very painful to me. I do not have words to express how I feel. I feel as though something very close to me has gone and I just cannot reconcile myself to this and thus I change the website and go somewhere else. Why do people have to die? One may question. I know people will say suicide is bad and stuff but when you don't give people options they have no option but to do suicide.
  •  Like in Second World War, Japanese soldiers and pilots will return from the front to their generals and commanders and they will say "why did you come back?" you should have died trying. You go back and die. then they go back and become "Kamikaze" which means suicide pilots. 
  • In Holiday movie they show a scene where a corrupt/traitor police officer is caught by the hero. Then the hero will tell "you commit suicide or else I will kill you. If I kill you you will be branded as a traitor as I will expose your links and your family dependents will not get any benefits. But if you commit suicide then people will not reason for suicide/extreme step and your family will get all the insurance and pension benefits. Only your life will be lost." At a scene like this you feel that at gunpoint the traitor has no option.
  • Here also we find a Dalit/Backward Caste student is harassed by the authorities and is suspended and he has not got any place to stay and then after several months decides to end this 'torture' by powerful people who are ministers. He does not see a future and ends it.
I will say this suicide is as good as murder. Even in Indian Penal Code, abetment to suicide is punishable. It is same as murder. Suicide is a crime in IPC. So is abetment to suicide and murder. Murder is universally a crime. Suicide may not be a crime in some countries. Abetment to suicide is definitely a crime as no person has the right to force anyone to commit suicide. The hardline Hindu extremists like BJP and Riot Sevak Sangh (RSS) do not care for anyone lives. Especially they do not care about minorities and poor. They will be happy if poor and minorities simply disappear from their paths.
