> Are you suggesting the pressure to succeed in the UK, where there exists a fairly comprehensive safety net in the form of welfare handouts, is the same as the pressure to succeed in India

Many of the students in this article who are committing suicide come from well off families.

On the other hand the majority of Indians are not facing such high levels of pressure despite facing far higher levels of poverty.
