No main characters commit suicide. P.T. Sir gives out pamphlets that argue that students have higher rates of suicide if they don't get physical education during the day.

On page 236, there is a brief but gruesome description of villagers doing this to a Muslim man because they believe he has killed a cow (an animal they worship) to eat.

One of the main characters is Lovely who is a hijra (trans woman). There are instances of people misgendering and mocking her spread throughout the book.

One of the major overall themes of this book is about Islamophobia in India. It does depict hate crimes perpetuated against Muslim individuals/families as well as systemic/political oppression.

There are brief scenes of the main character taking her father to the doctor because he has broken his back. The first scene, the doctor is dismissive to them.
