Do you know how many pakistanis commited suicide in the same periode? serious question, cos if you think about it, the numbers are not that alarming. i mean india has about 1.4 mill armed personell right, and in 3-4 years 348 commited sucide. In norway, one of the best countries to live in, on a average 550 commit suicide every year, and we have a population of less then 5 mill.

So the number are, considering how challenging it must be to be a solidar, quit low

That is pretty sad!

Have said many times if Indian politicians (Ajit Devil, Manohar, Modi and all those clowns) would pay more attention to their farmers, soldiers and minorities instead of false bravado and spreading cross-border terrorism in the region, every one including India would benefit from that.

Firstly what does it has to do with Pakistan, i merely posted from an Indian source without even adding any POV, but you want to assure yourself that India has less suicides than others....oh well wonder if that makes families of the dead soldiers any better.....

In the line of duty, NONE.
