Curry or Maize?


Maize Indians would only commit suicide if that passed a test that required them to go to work

That is a symptom of a fricked up culture and society right there. Sounds like their educational system may be more dysfunctional than ours.

Just below that is a story of an Indian voter chopping off a finger (his own) because he accidentally voted for the wrong party.

I would do that too if I voted democrat.

I got a bigger kick out of the linked article on that page about the voter who cut his finger off after voting for the wrong party Voter cuts off finger. We should have more practice that here.

20 out of about 1 million students who took the test?

That's .002% (two-thousanths of one percent).

The annual college suicide rate in the US (albeit not necessarily associated with a single test) is about 10 times that, or .02%, (20 out of 100,000).

I guess those Indians might be a little less crazy than us.

I was reading about this earlier. Your only shot to get out of poverty in their culture is through higher education. When you’re dealing with a population in the billions, a single point difference in a test score could put 10’s of thousands ahead of you in line for college admissions. It’s not far fetched for some of them to feel their lives were effectively over due to a low score, & would rather opt out of life early.

“an error on the part of the software solutions firm, Globarena Technologies Private Limited”

I assume they navigated the call to the Tech Support Center with little difficulty.

Headline should read.....

Indian students commit suicide due to the relentless standard of perfection imposed on them by their parents who love them for only their actions not their heart.
