Reddy's death!

YS Rajsekhara Reddy, chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, was killed in chopper crash. His death is most unfortunate and a great loss to the people of his state and to Congress party as well. Admittedly, such chopper or plane crashes might take place despite taking all precautionary measures. But what about those who, unable to bear the shock of Reddy's death, committed suicide or died of heart attack? These people are too emotional and they’re more guided by impulse than by rationale. Their deaths are perhaps more unfortunate and pathetic than Reddy’s.Incidentally,when Tamil Nadu chief minister MG Ramachandran died, though it was a natural death after protracted illness, there was a suicide galore too. South Indians seem to be more prone to such impulsive acts than others. However, very recently, when transport minister Subhas Chakraborty died in Bengal, there was a sea of humanity following his hearse and many common people were found to weep inconsolably, so was his popularity. But no case of suicide or heart attack was reported though Bengalis are said to be emotional by nature.Perhaps, Bengalis are more rational than emotional. Now it’s the task of the psychologists to explain why this ethnic difference in human reaction to tragic incidents is!
