Around 50% of hanging suicides are not fully suspended—ligature points below head level are commonly used. Case fatality following attempted suicide by hanging is around 70%; the majority (80–90%) of those who reach hospital alive survive.

Spontaneous photocopying made the Book available all over the country and abroad. The book soon became the most talked about document in the country. It was an envy of any writer, the world over. Most readers had never seen the original copy of the book. Illiterate people too became familiar with …
