Yes, that's the issue at the core. Indian students are under a lot of pressure due to intense competition and expectations of parents (and other relatives). Attributing these deaths to an "error" trivializes a complex problem.
- k__ 7y agoYes, I have the feeling that people from India are very work/success-oriented. Here in Germany it's the same, but somehow we manage a bit better to don't over burden our children.
- sumedh 7y agoYou cannot compare India with Germany, Germany is a welfare state, in India if you cannot get a good job then the next question you have to ask is will there be food on the table tomorrow.
- k__ 7y agoYou're right. It's hard to fathom such countries. On the one hand I see very industrious and smart people from countries like India and Nigeria online, on the other hand people are starving in those countries.
- sersi 7y agoGermany isn't the same at all, there are multiple paths for kids to have a decent life. A kid who is not admitted to a Gymnasium and goes to a Realschule can still hope to get an apprenticeship and have a decent life. In india, because of the poverty, for a lot of kids getting good results is their one ticket to a good life. You just can't compare the pressure in a first world country to the pressure of a third world country.
- k__ 7y agoGood point. That would explain why people from Idia always seem a bit more focuses and harsh about work, for the there has always been much on the line. In Germany we are also work focused, but overall a bit more chill, at least in my experience...
