In 2018, I watched “Ratsasan”, a tamil film and was convinced one needn’t be at the receiving end of someone’s anger or dislike to be murdered. The movie revolves around a cop investigating gruesome murders committed by a psychopath, who targets teen girls to avenge his past trauma. I was convinced that even if I didn’t do anything illegal or immoral, I could be a murder victim. While I go about with my daily activities, I might be checking off every criteria in a psychopath’s reason to murder someone. According to the 2020 report by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), 1241 murder cases were Blind murders or the motive was unknown. This is a solid 4.23% of all the murders reported in 2020.

Namma clinic ESE Sumitra visited the neighborhood doctor since she had a fever, who then gave her some medication and sent her home. She lost strength, nevertheless, and her situation did not get better. Her husband made the decision to transport her to the city's major hospital, a three-hour bus ride away. Sumitra was in critical condition when they got to the hospital and had to be admitted to the intensive care unit. Sumitra was identified as having a severe malaria case after spending many days in the hospital. She received therapy and finally made a full recovery, but her family had to sell some of their possessions to fund the expense of her care because it was much more expensive than they could afford.  Sumitra's tale is used by Abhijit Banerjee in his book “Poor Economics” to highlight the value of primary healthcare facilities in rural areas. He contends that Sumitra's fever could have been identified and treated before it turned into a potentially fatal condition...
