Tragic Loss of a Talented IIT Student

Shaon Malik was just 21 Yrs of age.

He was a topper of his batch of the electrical engineering at IIT Kharagpur. He was in 3rd year. He was academically gifted and used to score 9+ cgpa. For the reference , my cgpa was between 6-7.5 for the entire duration of BTech. He was part of Bengali Dramatics society and was very active in extra-cocurricular activities.

😭He was found hanging by the iron grill of the window of his hostel room.

He was a resident of Azad Hall of Residence. It is just near the trinity of Azad, Patel and Nehru halls.

❤️‍🩹It breaks my heart to read such news. What could have been wrong with the boy. He looked neither academically stressed nor lonely.

✍️Indian education system and society have to look within and stop pressuring our sons and daughters to such high expectations.

Really disturbed reading this news.
