It was a fair article, a little balanced. Glory is perhaps what Karunakar, 20, a lower-caste eighth-grade dropout, was looking for when he doused himself in kerosene and set himself alight in January. He instantly became an icon in his village. A poster of him in a tough, Bollywood-style pose of defiance hangs in the village square, next to a small temple to the monkey god Hanuman. In life, he was unheralded: a day laborer who grew up in a part of town notorious for prostitution. In death, he was a hero. âHe was all the time talking of Telangana, Telangana, Telangana,â said his 70-year-old grandfather, Musku Hanumanthu. âI tried to persuade him not to get too involved. But he used to say, âI will sacrifice everything for Telangana.â â He survived for three days in the hospital, expressing no regrets despite the pain of his burns, his grandfather said. âEven in the hospital he kept saying, âLong live Telangana,â â Mr. Hanumanthu said. âYoung people see this as a way to give meaning to what seem like meaningless lives,â said Sudhir Kakar, a prominent psychoanalyst and novelist who has written extensively about mental health in India. âIt is a way to become a hero, to take a stand.â | ||

I knew NYtimes was going to interview KCR, but I didn't expect the story to come out with this headline. What a misleading headline. They make it sound like people are dying are killing themselves all over India, like those suicides at Cornell. | ||

Mana matlade basha okkate. Manalni kalipe krishna, Godavarilo pravahinche niru okkate. Kabatti mana andaram okkate. |
