The National Crime Record Bureau reports suicide to be among the top ten causes of death&among top three in the 16-35years age group, making suicide, clearly, a major public health concern. But still, the various paradigm of meanings underlying suicide is hardly explored by researchers, more so in the Indian scenario. This viewpoint makes this current study a needed one.

Abstract


The National Crime Record Bureau reports suicide to be among the top ten causes of death&among top three in the 16-35years age group, making suicide, clearly, a major public health concern. But still, the various paradigm of meanings underlying suicide is hardly explored by researchers, more so in the Indian scenario. This viewpoint makes this current study a needed one.
