Thalaikoothal

Thalaikoothal is something that some people in India believe is a way to make old and sick people die faster. This is not a good thing to do and it is illegal.

It works like this: Some families think that taking care of old or sick people is too much work and costs too much money. They believe that if they give the sick person some medicine that will make them go to sleep forever, then the problem will be solved. This medicine is very dangerous and can hurt the person.

People who believe in thalaikoothal think that it is better to die quickly than to suffer for a long time. But this is not true. Everyone has the right to live as long as possible and get the care they need. It's important to love and take care of our elders, not harm them.
