Nowadays suicide has become a common act in every nook and corner of the world. It is not only the poor and under privileged class of people involved in doing this unfamiliar job but the rich and upper class of people with all the facilities available are also in this menace. It is not only under developed countries or societies but developed countries and high profile people are more prone to have suicidal events and even the celebrities are often found ending their lives in suicide. The younger generation nowadays has raised the graph up in suicidal endings with a new style of uploading vedio in social media, giving the reason for their curse action, ultimately end their lives in no gains. It may in every respect be considered as a cowardice attempt to get their problems a vent and their cries a hearing because when there is no life there is no use of their such negative efforts. There must be a struggle at every stage for solution of problems even if it may take a long time for their solution. life is a game of struggle and one should have a courage and consistency for a successful and dignified living . The people of the modern world indulge in a race to become rich and supreme within no time with less efforts. Some take underworld short cuts and become rich. Their standard of living changes with the passage of time under the influence of rich environment, get used to a super standard lifestyle but ultimately fail to withstand in a long run, this way get frustrated and take the extreme step as suicide. There may be thousands of reasons before the man to get suicide but among all no reason will allow him to take this extreme step. Generally youths and women suicide graph shows steep growth day by day due to mismatching relationships, dowry system, property issues, illegal affairs and so many. This creates a noxious environment in families, lowers the resistance and tolerance which gives a way for ill thinking and ultimately a stage reaches when they decide to end their lives in suicide. Injustice is next reason responsible for this menace. When people especially youth did not find justice in getting their rights, in getting jobs, getting noway to proceed in education or in business in one way or the other result in such acts. Unemployment and weak financial conditions in families, individuals or trading firms push them to anxiety and frustration, resulting in drug abuse which leads the same way. Availability of drugs and noxious substances at doorsteps involve the teenage youth as well as the prone ones to get entangled in the mafia web which proves fetal for the society in the long run. High profile people also do not lag behind in the race. The higher economic profile people are often free to enjoy luxury of every type in life. Their younger generation when get adapted to the high profile life standard get exited and indebted to least means. When the incoming resources get exhausted or when the youth get access to any subversive, illegal or anti human group of people who trap them in order that find no way to get back from their webs thereby blackmailing their talents, names and family resources push them to take the extreme steps as suicide. The people in war zones when continuously get exposed to wars, firings, bombings, crackdowns and other related issues feel a very exhaustive life. The day in and day out tensions, pressures, compulsions make the people to suffer a lot. Their smiles reach extinctions and become hypertensive, ill mooded, emotional and aggressive in nature. Their emotion level when further gets disturbed results in suicides. Matrimonial affairs or love related galentry mischiefs also become the cause of day-to-day suicidal incidents in the society.
The suicide is a heinous crime both in terms of the human rights law as well as religious law. It is not only the person who makes suicide or suicidal attempts responsible for this crime but the substrates, the agencies or the resources which push or encourage for such worsen acts are equally responsible for this crime. It is not only the fencing of bridges, banning on the sale of germicides etc enough to stop this bad omen. It is the responsibility of everyone to understand their rights and duties for keeping a close watch on the root cause of suicides.
A proper parental care is required to avoid the youth to indulge in unfair means of life. Teachers, preachers, senior citizens, civil societies, NGOs and other law governing agencies are bound to take hand in hand for improving the administrative mechanism to control these unfair means of life ending. The improvement in living standards , reduction in family as well as social conflicts, political balance, communal harmony, quick disposal of court cases, time bound disposal of official cases, solutions by mutual understanding in love and matrimonial affairs, social cum administrative restrictions on drugs and narcotics related activities, restriction on abusive and ragging culture in college & universities, improvement in women empowerment mechanism and improving moral culture in schools and colleges, to discourage black marketing and blackmailing, curb on crimes, robberies, rape cases and other human injustices, implementation of labourer laws are some of the ways to stop this menace. There is a dire need of a supportive system schemes for farmers with low yields and very low income yielding people indebted to bank loans to raise their both ends meet. Suicide is a cowardice act by human beings instead of having courage to live a dignified life. Life is a struggle of acts where joy and sorrow, worsening and happiness come and go like day and night goes on. We all should standby to discourage it not only by lip service or on papers but practically coming in the field to stop it. It is taking a serious mode to engulf us all in one way or the other, sooner or later until we are United to defend our race.
