Dear Vicky Nanjappa, based on your statement: "35 in every 100,000 (one lakh) in Bangalore commit suicide"
Let us do some simple math:
35 per every 100,000. For 10,00,000 (One million) people, it is 350-people committing suicide.
Assuming Bangalore's population is 70,00,000 (70 Lakh / 7 million), that is 350 *7 = 2450 people.
Which means: 2450 / 70,00,000 = 0.00035 or approximately: 0.035% of suicides.
It is not even ONE whole person for God's sake.
and your Headline screams: "Bangalore is the SUICIDE capital of India"...
Just to grab some eyeballs... It is nothing but a cheap marketing gimmick...
Vicky Nanjappa, you call yourself a reporter... Get a life man or please enroll your name in the list of 35-people and be a part of this interesting statistic.
