    Young generation should work whatever job they get until they get their professional job they must wait patiently.
    Take an example of Adithya rao
    Now whatever maybe the reason
    But previously he was not hesitated to do any job
    Being a post graduate he worked as a simple worker
    He didn’t sit at home and burden to anyone
    But worked
    That’s why if a person wants to work there’s work for him or her on this earth
    Suicide is definitely not a solution

    How can you say that, A Child does engineering and other professional courses He or She is an MBA, a CA, You expect them to take up a job for 10K. How do you say such things in Public forum. Please understand the situation of these kids who have spent so much of money and have done so much of hard work and sacrifice, think about their parents. There is unemployment and that is the fact, there is no value for education, when uneducated are our elected leaders what can you expect. As there is no future for our educated Youth... Its a sad state of affairs

    US does not step mother approach to any Religion... By the way you guys yourself are willing to give citizenship to illegal immigrants through CAA and your talking about population explosion is a hypocrite statement coz ur biased here and targeting one particular religion....

    By the way, please go and verify by yourself to each house of your people and will come to know the truth who really has how many children rather than blindly believing in Nagpur leaders who has no other job than spitting venom and divide people against Minorities

    Committing suicide is not the solution and not an example to be set especially by a father to a son in times of trouble.
    Instead he should have been supportive and together tried to find out ways to resolve problems.
    Children look up to their parents in times of need and are suppose to be role models for their children.

    Similar tragedy occurred when father could not afford to bear her daughter's educational expenses who was bright in studies. At least he could have been morally supportive and stood by the girl. Indeed very sad.

    Everyone knows that including the person who commits suicide. Its easy to comment. When a person goes into a deep state of depression then they cannot think of any solutions. Its people around who should recognize and symptoms and lend some help where possible.

     Community leaders - Change the Agenda of the meetings. Visit houses and seek information.
    Stop Mega Celebrations at church level, there is no meaning in it . All is Vanity Vanity Vanity.

    pathetic state of economy has begun to force even parents to committ suicide.

    Till the time Changu and Mangu are in power at centre, these type of incidents will continue.

    Jai CAA, Jai NRC, Jai Abolition of article 370, even if Kaane keliye kuch nahin
