How many more lives will it take for the government to wake up?
Agra, India – On February 24, Manav Sharma, a 30-year-old recruitment manager at TCS in Mumbai, allegedly took his own life by hanging himself. His family claims that he was harassed by his wife, whom he married just over a year ago. Before his death, Manav left behind a 6.57-minute video.
In this video, Manav appears calm, happy, and composed, pleading for the safety of men. He says, “Please think of men too… Poor guys are very lonely… everything would be fine once he was gone.”
This raises questions about why Manav seemed so happy in his final moments. Did he felt relieved from the pressure and legal bias that he faced?
While Manav was seen calm, and composed but Manav’s wife has alleged that he was an alcoholic. This incident highlights the need for a safer and more supportive system for men.
Manav’s message to society was, “Everything will be fine after I leave this world.” However, the reality is that his death has shifted the burden to his elderly parents.
This raises concerns about the well-being and safety of men in India.
We urge men’s rights activists to come together and protest consistently, possibly every weekend, to demand a more just and supportive system for men.
Some questions that arise from this incident are:-
- How many more lives will be taken due to the lack of support for men?
- When will the system become a safe place for men?
- How many more deaths can the government afford to ignore before taking action?
- Is the government waiting for things to escalate before intervening?
