Book Cover of “UnSuicided – I Am Still Alive” Unveiled in Bhiwani; Focus on Building Emotional Support Systems for Youth
Bhiwani, October 13: A significant literary and social event took place in Bhiwani on Monday, dedicated to the unheard voices struggling with mental health and the reality of suicide. The cover of the book “UnSuicided – The Story of the Unarmed Warriors”, authored by Lokesh Bhiwani, founder of Stand With Nature, and co-author Diksha Suman, was unveiled during the event. The occasion marked a major step toward initiating a nationwide Support System Movement for mental health. The event was held at a private venue in Bhiwani and was graced by Mr. Vajeer Maan, Director of Arya Career Institute, Dhigawa Mandi, as the chief guest. A press interaction followed the unveiling, during which the authors shared insights into the book and its purpose. Addressing the gathering, Mr. Vajeer Maan emphasized that mental pressure among youth has emerged as one of society’s biggest challenges. He urged parents and educational institutions to pay equal attention to students’ mental well-being alongside academics. Calling UnSuicided a guiding light for those silently battling inner turmoil, he described it as a book that helps “join the broken pieces within.” Speaking on the occasion, Lokesh Bhiwani said, “This book is about those who do not die by suicide, but live each day feeling lifeless inside. Mental pain can be as sharp as any sword — yet those who survive it are the real warriors. UnSuicided is a salute to their courage.” He further explained that his aim is not merely to write a book, but to launch a Support System Movement, pledging that if every person becomes an emotional support for just five others, thousands of lives can be saved. Co-author Diksha Suman,M.phill student PGI Rohtak shared that while collecting stories for the book, she encountered thousands of voices filled with silent screams waiting to be heard. “Talking about mental health is not shameful — it’s an act of courage. I wish this book reaches every home so that no one ever feels alone again,” she said. Ayushi from the People Network Group described UnSuicided as “a ray of hope that can bring new dawn into the lives of suicidal individuals.” Members of Helping Hands Society, Bhiwani — including Neeta Chawla, Sapna Choudhary, Reena Taneja, Suman Grover, and Sashi Arora — highlighted that suicide is not a weakness but a tragedy born from the lack of help. They called UnSuicided a “lamp of hope” for those who continue to live silently with pain that words often fail to express. According to the World Health Organization, one person dies by suicide every 43 seconds globally. In India alone, nearly 171,500 suicides were recorded in 2023, with the majority among youth aged 20 to 34 years. The program concluded with a collective pledge to strengthen mental health awareness across the country and to turn UnSuicided into a national movement for compassion, resilience, and hope.
