The twist/spin :
What if the doctor just disappeared to temporarily escape FIR instead of commiting suicide? Would it have provoked a nation wide movement and brought her tormentors to book?
The best thing this devoted husband wife couple could have done to escape the current corrupt power mongers would have been to play this game of temporarily and surreptitiously abstaining from "the great game of life" and introducing a chaotic perturbation into it?
In this information age it would be relatively easier where people are driven more by information than the need to verify it?
Also people at the bottom of the pyramid (read it currently as doctors) need a sacrificial lamb to put forth their requirements to the powers that be?
What would everyone think if the person who committed suicide resurfaces again as an associate professor in some medical college in Gandhinagar?
The law is only supposed to punish people who commit suicide (only if caught alive doing it) but can the law punish her for not committing suicide if she resurfaces again? Imagine the delight of her kids getting to reunite with their mom again? Also would it negate the current movement of the oppressed doctors just because the sacrificial lamb made a comeback?
This twist in the tale should not dilute the movement for our currently oppressed against the powers that be but it is just a feeler to see how many of us wish this were true. That intelligent doctors wouldn't really have to die to escape the system but give it back in it's own coin?
