In Indore, three-year-old Viyana Jain was administered 'Santhara', a Jain religious practice of voluntary fasting unto death, after being diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. Following unsuccessful treatments, her family, devout followers of Jainism, sought spiritual guidance and, on March 21, 2024, under the direction of spiritual leader Rajesh Muni Maharaj, Viyana underwent the ritual, which culminated in her death shortly thereafter. The incident has sparked legal and ethical debates regarding the capacity of a minor to understand death and the rights of parents to make such decisions. Legal experts argue that the administration of 'Santhara' to a minor raises serious constitutional questions, particularly as previous rulings have not addressed this scenario. Despite the controversy, the Indore police were reportedly unaware of the incident, raising further concerns about oversight in such sensitive matters.
