RIP.
Indian Army already has one of the Lowest suicide rate among all professional armies which reveal data: USA, Canada, Israel, Turkey, Japan, Russia, South Korea, Australian, France, Germany etc.
All above countries have higher military suicide rates than Indian but still there is scope for further improvement by India.

I'm not here to troll , just pointing out a fact , why is it so high though?

I think we can have a policy at PDF not to ridicule, mock, rejoice death of soldiers from whatever military they belong. This is not only greatly disrespectful but is also a disservice to one's own military (whose deaths in turn will be rejoiced by key board warriors from the opponents)

^^ agreed , if my post sounded like that I apologize , was pointing out a fact , I am no fan of this , war is wrong imo , no matter who fights it, mainly because it's preventable most of the time. What is the main reason of suicide in armies : stress , which comes mainly from the hard work they do i.e. War , if India and Pakistan can work out their differences we could achieve a lot more , I'm one for peace among both countries.

There is a policy...... But not enforced.....

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

due to his cowardness and sound of fire shots. Pakistani soldiers would have been on alert. It is usual business there.
