I want to take the opportunity to discuss one memorable Indian hanging. There are two actually that come to mind, but for now I'll discuss this one because it sheds light on something you touched on with regard to the culturally different way Indians must relate to death, being in many cases Hindu and believing in reincarnation, in a tight spot I think they're just as willing to cash out their chips. Life is not worth as much over there it seems, with the dense population and poverty, I think it can definitely prove to be too much for some poor souls for sure.
In any case, back to the subject of the hanging video in question. This man was dressed effeminately in a sari, and in the comments section I saw it was speculated that he was gay or trans. Anyway, this man had a downright relaxed and pleasant expression on his face, and had soft, relaxed facial features. It almost looked like he was high on heroin or something, that is how positively mellow he looked. He took a moment to smile widely and waved goodbye to the camera, and then without further ado hung himself from the ceiling fan, barely even twitching. Like he completely spiritually surrendered to death with a friendly, smile on his face, without giving any visible sign of resignation to the fate he had chosen. It blew my mind and I'll never forget that video. He had music playing in the background that many commenters said left something to be desired, it was a very psychedelic sounding, punjabi geetar sounding track, instrumental only. It gave the video a very surreal, trippy quality.
