we are the reason
by Poonam Kaushik on Jul 29, 2011 03:31 AM  | Hide replies

We all know the reason and yet we all follow them only. I was reading the comments and surprisingly we have covered all the topic and blamed everyone rather then saying that the reason is us that even after knowing the reason we don't do anything.........anyhow good luck to people who are depressed as i am not and i am very much satisfied and happy with my life

India is meant for the following 5 types of ppl
1. Politicians
2. Bureaucrats
3. Corporates
4. Bollywood
5. Cricket

If you are one among them you can live like a king, otherwise you are at the mercy of ur fate.

depressive indians
by mahesh bhatt on Jul 29, 2011 03:19 AM

yes it is true, indians in other countries are very smart but in their own country very depressed, many reasons and mainly the politicians who are eating and selling their own country, not worried for aam janta.

Caste, Corruption, Inequality and a Pessimistic media are reasons
by Rajaguru on Jul 28, 2011 07:08 PM  | Hide replies

The reason for such depression is caste and caste based priveleges, corruption, a pessimistic 2G-crazy media who keep on reporting negative things, inequality promoted by religion based politices, ideologies like Hindutva are the great reasons for such depression.

Rather, its the suppression of the ideology of hzxindutva.. excessive emphasis on material things, unending greed of people.

In India people live even though they are depressed due to family obligations..

Suicide is a luxory that Indians cant afford.

godwho your intuition is absolutely correct and that is what the original survey also showed (see at biomedcentral site)
On reading the original survey we find that the above news article is wrong because the survey shows that only 25% respondents from India (which is the best figure in the world) have had any single instance of depression and only 9% have persistent depression. Hence the survey actually says Indians are among the least depressed in the world (as opposed to US and France which are the most depressed). But the rediff article above says the opposite!! that's how good the editing is!

Correct your story Rediff
by Antistupidity on Jul 28, 2011 01:52 PM  | Hide replies

your figure of 36% in the story above is wrong. It is only 25% and among the 18 countries taking the survey, India were THE BEST! not the worst as you are saying. 36% refers to the prevalence of chronic depression amongst those who have had at least one instance of depression in their lives. As for Chronic (Lifelong prevalent) depression, only 9% Indians mention it. That is among the best in the world again, though not the best. And finally, the data was taken only from Pondicherry (JIPMER) hence whether it represents India is itself questionable.
C'mon now- I trust all the Indian publications will be correcting this wrong report now - can you be the first to do so?????

Depressed
by arungopal agarwal on Jul 28, 2011 01:51 PM  | Hide replies

India is coming on world map, individually Indians are best among perfects, but our political and administrative system is not coming to todays requirement, reforms are far away, therefore sometimes depression prevails, but does not reduce the enthusism of Indians.
