For context, according to 2011 census there were 118 million farmers and 144 million farm labourers in India. 12,000 suicides per year puts the suicide rate at 4.5 per 100,000 people. This is lower than suicide rate of most countries.

Aside: No, India Times, I don't want your fucking notifications, especially that I've never been to your site before, and it really turns me off from wanting to interact with your site entirely.
