Significance – According to the World Health Organization data, suicide is the main cause of death under the age of 45 due to several reasons including unemployment, false allegations by women, break up, and many more problems.  Unemployment is one of the main problems especially in male people all around the world. The parents must teach to their sons to respect female in public places, office, family, and many more that lower the cases of crime against women.  There are several agencies to get justice for women but there is no agency to justice for men. If any women false allegations against men, then all the media, police, and government support ladies, and nobody support men. It is the main problem for men in the society all around the world.

Men play an important role as a son, brother, husband, and father in the relationship. Male people play a significant role as a brother to protect their sisters, as a son to care for parents, as a husband to protect and care for their wives, and as a father to care for their children. There are several men who gain popularity worldwide including Mahatma Gandhi Sachin Tendulkar, Abdul Kalam Azad, Sourav Ganguly, Subhash Chandra Bose, Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, and many more.
