How to extrapolate that? When there's a change in external conditions?

Even when only Maharshtra alone there is a case of 4000 suicides, which is only 1 state and approximately 30% of the data available last, then don't you think the mathematical model would see a huge change of parameters in order to extrapolate?

@TheSecularOne

The number 12,000 is only for one state sir ji in 3 years! And 17,000 in 2009 isn't! 😐

@TheSecularOne

It has. But after 2016 no data has been produced. So we don't know. And by the looks of it, it should be quite high currently.

In 2016, 11370 Suicide cases were noted. And it is been said, in Maharashtra only, assuming the mean, 4000 has been committed. Surely adding the rest 28 would see a huge surge in the number? Specially when TN was hit with a crucial water crisis.

@TheSecularOne

That's what I said in the last toot. In Maharashtra alone 12,000 farmers committed suicide in 3 years. That's approximately 11 suicides per day for 3 fricking years man! Of one profession, belonging to one state!!! You can't be that naive thinking it should be close to total suicide %!

@TheSecularOne
Obviously data needs a reference point. But seems here even the reference point is subjective. For me it is 0 to 12,000. For you it is lower than 2010 for your whataboutery.

@TheSecularOne

I am not making Hindus any devil. The so called Devils are from two sides. And your statement about "Hindus don't even teach their children" is so wrong on so many levels. You're acting like a nincompoop who is in complete oblivion.

The great thing about Hindu Religion is its diversity. A Hindu from West Bengal has a completely different religious perspective from a Hindu of UP. You can't say Hindus don't teach this or that because of the large bandwidth of differences we have in culture and everything.

@TheSecularOne What nonsense! I even presented articles which cited about Suicide rates of farmers and data insufficiency.

Then you said, Farmers suicide is just like normal suicide. And we need to see how it is fairing against the normal suicide rate. At that point I thought it is worthless to carry on the conversation. If Farmers suicide is like normal suicide then why the Data hasn't been presented for like, 4th year in a row?

Anyways you want data, you got it explicitly here:

Over 12,000 Maharashtra farmers committed suicide in 3 years: Government.
https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/maharashtra-farmer-suicide-1553467-2019-06-21

Now what category of people belonging to a normal profession has done that? IT? Core? Government? Please present your data. And keep in mind the statistics is only of Maharsthra.

@yantrajaal
I couldn't get what you meant by guarded against Sir. Could you elaborate a bit.

@TheSecularOne
You are a so called "Liberal" and you are calling another least educated because he doesn't share the same view on one thing as you. Great going!

Whether you like it or not, the divide is pretty much there and deep rooted in the society. I just highlighted that with a toot and you, a so called liberal got triggered. Great going Sir. 🙏

@TheSecularOne
No one peddling any nonsense. And it is great if you haven't taught any nonsense to your child. Continue doing so. But you or me don't comprise the world or the nation. The thing of hating someone for having a different religion is a cultural/educational thing. And it is pretty much there.

High time Parents and others become more aware of these kind of incidents. Let alone disturbing the harmony, it slowly plants a poisonous seed among the children. We should be better than this.
