The death of newly-wed Induja of Palode two weeks ago is a pertinent pointer to the alarming increase in suicides among tribal people in Thiruvananthapuram. As per available data, 23 tribal residents - five of them young women - ended their lives in the state capital this year alone.
Induja, 25, a Kani tribe member who chose to marry outside the community, took the extreme step on December 6, after allegedly being caught in a vicious cycle of domestic abuse and harassment. Three more suicides followed in the next three days: 20-year-old Ajith of Idinjar on December 7; Namitha, 19, of Elavattom on December 8, and Vishnu, 30, of Alummoodu on December 9.
