Shocker: English education triggers suicides, murders,
says Mumbai top cop Satyapal Singh

Mumbai - Mumbai Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh says
there is a direct link between school and college
education and murders and suicides, and students who
study in English-medium institutions are especially
vulnerable.
In Mumbai, if there are 150 murders, there are eight
times (more) suicides. All of the perpetrators are
educated people. I have never seen an uneducated person
committing suicide. I have researched this even while I
was police commissioner in Pune. There were engineers and
IT professionals committing suicide, Singh is reported
to have said at the 54th Foundation Day ceremony at the
Bharat Merchants Chamber in Kalbadevi on Tuesday.
Most suicides, Singh reportedly said, are committed by
those who have studied in the English medium. I have
never heard of or seen a Sanskrit-medium educated person
committing suicide. And it is a known fact that more and
more people are today sending their children to English-
medium schools.
Singh blamed crime in cities like Mumbai and Delhi on
flaws in the education system.
Jo Delhi ka case hua ya phir Mumbai ke andar jo case
hote hain, uske peechhe bhi jo... isko main sanskriti
nahin kehta, usko main asanskriti bolta hoon... woh
asanskriti ka parinaam hai... Hamare schools aur college
ke andar jo shiksha di jaati hai... sanskaarheen shiksha
di jaati hai. Jeevangun koi sikhaata nahin hai. (What has
happened in Delhi or what happens in Mumbai, it is the
consequence of the absence of culture. The education that
is imparted in our schools and colleges is devoid of
cultural content. Life values are not taught.)
Rajiv Singhal, trustee of the Bharat Merchants Chamber,
confirmed the police commissioners statements.
Mr Singh said in his speech that most suicides and
crimes were committed by the educated section of society.
He also said that there needs to be a study of the
educational system, where a closer look needs to be taken
at the education that is being imparted to students,
Singhal said.
Singh has criticised Indias education system earlier. In
August 2009, he posted a blog titled Growing Literacy,
Falling Education, in which he called the system
inadequate.
