Dear Editor,
It is with horror I read the news about the suicides of several young people in our country. The majority of the names seem to be Hindu names, and I waited to read or hear about the concern and most of all, the pledges by Hindu groups, especially the one claiming to be the largest to address this disease. None was forthcoming, yet today one reads about the outrage of the same largest group regarding Diwali 2016, one whole year away. Why are they fighting over a date while their youths are taking their own lives? Swami Aksharananda is the only Hindu leader who has done anything to address suicide. Diwali is one year away, what is this Dharmic Sabha doing to address suicide? Or are they waiting to see my letter before they act?
Yours faithfully,
P Singh
