Is there a political instability in the country?

As the 13-day long fast of Anna Hazare ends with the ‘sense of the House’ with a resolution in both houses of the Parliament accommodating (though arguably) all three sticking points of contention, it seems we are passing through a grim political situation in the country. The UPA government at the centre is apparently baffled [...]

India against Corruption – no, this is not a stylish beginning to the ongoing article but this is the NGO that has been the centre of the Indian political theatre over the last three months. It’s the front organization of the so-called civil society led by Sri Anna Hazare, which is arguably fighting against corruption [...]

Sometimes a good politician does not realise that he is getting past his sell by date. I strongly suspect that this is what is happening to Dr Manmohan Singh.

Now that I’m aboard the Bong-Buzz-wagon, I’d irritate my readers with their verdicts on my articles. However, there’s an intriguing issue which has struck me. Though there would be analysis, counter-analysis, debates, what not on this issue and people would provide their comments in a much more erudite manner, I felt like sharing my thoughts [...]

As the ancient Indian history goes, overtaking [...]

THE GOLDEN PLATE of Health Services in West Bengal

2 comments

“West Bengal witnessed a 4 day strike Of all junior doctors in Kolkata” “Inhumane face of doctors in West bengal” has been the staple diet for the media in West Bengal.

Is it not time that we find out what is the cause behind such strikes taking place in all parts of West Bengal. The cause is exactly what the Govt takes pride in – West Bengal is a state which provides maximum heath care in the governement sector. But is it health that is provided in state medical colleges or care that is provided??? [...]

It is a matter of great shame that in the recent few weeks there has been several attacks on doctors on duty in government hospitals all over the state. In most of these cases, the junior doctors had to bear the brunt of mob fury save for a few instances where the most senior and [...]

PODCAST: Save our Doctors!

I had made this podcast after an episode of public mob fury hitting the doctors working in the ER in Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. I have posted it on my blog and on Youtube.com, but I think, there needs to be a wider dissemination of this message so that more people actually get to [...]
