What is actually killing usEvery avoidable death counted from the government's own records — what kills Indians, and the scale of what the state spends in answer.Two GBD rounds (2021 and 2019); different model rounds are not directly comparable.A collision toll set beside the anti-collision system's network coverage.Government hospital beds against the policy norm of two per 1,000.A bridge-collapse spate and the rail-safety cluster — documented gaps across infrastructure types in the same period, a parallel and not a shared cause.Amenable-mortality burden set beside the doctor-to-population ratio.Two distinct official streams — police-custody deaths and the larger prison-death total.Actual education spend against the policy target.Actual government health spend against the policy target set for 2025.Internal-theatre death toll set beside the internal-security allocation.Child-nutrition outcome set beside the school-meal programme's scale.A fatal school-meal incident within the programme that now covers 11.80 crore children.J&K and Left-Wing Extremism fatalities from the same SATP 2024 dataset.Both are SATP 2024 internal-conflict fatality datasheets for the same year.The later survey against the baseline it is compared with.The single deadliest 2025 attack set beside the 2024 annual J&K toll.Per-person and share-of-GDP views of the same government health-spend level.Deaths in custody against the internal-security allocation.Successive years of the same NCRB prison-death series.Two railway-death datasets measuring different things — the broad NCRB category and a single-crash toll.The broad NCRB railway-accident death toll for 2023 set beside the anti-collision system's network coverage as of December 2025 — the death category and the safety-technology rollout cover different measures and dates.The road death toll set beside the scale of the largest single budget allocation.Two cumulative series with different baselines (since 1993 and since 2021) — not to be merged.Same 21 July 2026 reply — deaths recorded as "hazardous cleaning," with no "manual scavenging" deaths reported.Student-suicide totals under an education spend of about 2.7% of GDP.A single coaching-hub tally within the national student-suicide total.Same-period failures of newly built public infrastructure (June-July 2024).The outcome under this spend level — TB mortality sits beneath a government health spend of 1.9% of GDP.The absolute count is derived from the WHO mortality rate.Toll collection (FY2024-25) alongside highway network length (by December 2024) — different cutoff dates, not a single point-in-time snapshot.Leads into: Record tolls, falling roofsLeads into: Education: the pipelineLeads into: Record tolls, falling roofsLeads into: Education: the pipelineLeads into: Education: the pipelineLeads into: Healthcare: the cost of staying aliveLeads into: Education: the pipelineLeads into: Education: the pipelineLeads into: Healthcare: the cost of staying aliveLeads into: Justice at two speedsLeads into: The middle-class squeezeLeads into: The middle-class squeezeLeads into: The middle-class squeezeLeads into: Record tolls, falling roofsAbout 2.1 million deaths attri…2024-06-191.67 million deaths attributed…2020-12-21India: 1.6 million deaths from…2018-09-05An estimated 300,000 to 320,00…2025-11-13India TB mortality 21 per 100,…2025-11-13Government health expenditure…2025-01-31National Health Policy 2017 se…2017-03-16Government health spend was Rs…2024-09-25Doctor-to-population ratio sta…2024-07-26Government hospitals had 0.79…2024-08-09National Health Policy 2017 re…2017-03-16Malnutrition a risk factor in…2019-09-18NFHS-6: under-5 stunting 29.3%…2026-05-30NFHS-5: under-5 stunting 35.5%…2022-03-0123 children died after a conta…2013-07-16PM POSHAN covers 11.80 crore c…2024-01-0113,892 students died by suicid…2025-09-29Kota recorded 26 coaching-stud…2023-12-31Education expenditure was abou…2025-01-31NEP 2020 set a 6% of GDP publi…2020-07-29Balasore triple-train crash of…2023-09-02NCRB recorded 21,803 railway-a…2024-12-01Kavach commissioned on about 2…2025-12-17NH toll collection reached Rs…2025-12-18National highway network grew…2025-01-09Bihar recorded 10 to 15 bridge…2024-07-18Delhi airport Terminal 1 canop…2024-06-28Pahalgam attack killed 26 civi…2025-04-22J&K terrorism killed 58 civili…2025-01-01Left-Wing Extremism killed 101…2025-01-01Northeast insurgency killed 59…2025-01-01Road accidents killed 172,890…2025-08-27≈ 15.4 lakh lives, 2014–2023Defence allocated Rs 6.81 lakh…2025-02-01Home Affairs allocated Rs 2.33…2025-02-01Prison deaths totalled 1,972 i…2025-09-303,967 lives, 2022–2023Prison deaths totalled 1,995 i…2023-12-03Police custody deaths numbered…2026-03-24636 lives, 2021-22 to 2024-2…332 died cleaning sewers and s…2026-07-21332 lives, 2021–2026Government reports no manual s…2026-07-21NCSK recorded 1,313 sewer and…2025-06-301,313 lives, 1993–2025You connect the dots.
