A particularly high wave of self-immolations in India was recorded in 1990 protesting the Reservation in India.[1] As many as 1,451 self-immolations in 2000 and 1,584 in 2001 were reported in India.[2]
In 2012 scores of Indians set themselves on fire demanding that a new state, Telangana, be formed within India.[3][4][5] Telangana groups claim that over 800 people, mostly students, committed suicide for the cause of Telangana between 2010 and 2013.[6] On the same day that two Indians self-immolated for Telangana's cause, a Tibetan man set himself on fire during Chinese president Hu Jintao's visit to India.[3]
