medical man power shortage

In India the medical manpower and population ratio is very unsatisfactory resulting in many defects in the medical  care  facilities. As one of the measures to rectify this basic deficiency, if, the government is thinking of introducing bridge course to allow the medical personnel of alternative medicines  to prescribe modern medicine, it  is not a wise move and may create more new medical problems  to the patients. The editorial  on “questionable remedy “rightly says, “empowering doctors and nurses to do more is better reform “ than a bridge course. Any time, this suggestion is better than adhoc training  to non allopathic personnel who have to practice on trial and error method .   let the government remember that human lives are involved in this matter. Qualified doctors and nurses have prolonged practical experience along with sound theoretical medical knowledge gained  over a considerably  longer time . They are assets to the medical sector. Let us not waste their s medical skills. It is an economic measure too and free from risks .

The judicial crisis

I agree with Arghya Sen gupta’s statement in “talking over law”  article  published in The Hindu, that , “ any internal resolution might defuse the crisis but, will exacerbate the deeper wound “ because,  deeper  maladies  require sound and permanent solutions arrived at after thorough  and patient analysis of the root causes of such maladies developed over many decades . Transitory  measures to deal with the out burst of the four judges to the media because of the shock waves it has created should not be attempted . HIs suggestion for the Supreme Court Act and restructuring of the  Supreme Court into three divisions administrative, appellate and constitutional are  excellent and may prevent the continuation of politicised  judiciary which is marring the image of the Supreme Court   image currently . Judicial reforms are long pending and it is time to implement them before the credibility of the judiciary is dented further .

Rk nagar poll result

Close observation of the political events in Tamil Nadu during the current year convey two things. Firstly it is once again proved that, public memory is short .So much of anger and hatred shown towards the Sasikala clan described as Mannargudi mafia after the demise of the former Chief Minister Jaya lalitha has virtually weakened and has almost disappeared after the emergence of Dinakaran and his victory in RK Nagar constituency. Now he is declared as undisputed leader material arrived at the political scenario of Tamil Nadu to save the AIDMK party from sure disappearance. All the allegations of corruption, various cases pending in the courts and the mystery behind the death of Jaya lalitha are forgotten .Secondly; it looks as though Tamil Nadu which was known for its political stability till last year is tending towards political instability. It is true that, one bye election result cannot decide the political trends in a state. But if, the DMK which is the principal opposition, is not careful about their future poll strategies and under estimate others political maneuvering capabilities and fail to win with comfortable number of seats Tamil Nadu will soon become a politically unstable state

Rajani kanth's special brand of politics

Rajani Kanth's statement that, “ he will resign three years after he is voted to power if is he is unable to full fill his--- promises” makes us wonder  about his understanding of the basic principles of  our democratic functioning. Parties are elected to power at the central  and state levels to rule for 5 years as per our constitution . It is neither a long term nor a short term   but, an adequate medium term to Implement  policies and programmes announced by a  party elected to rule  and to make corrections if some expected results are  not achieved. If he is going to run away after three years , whose money will he be wasted in forcing a new election within three years? His announcements has created more questions  than clarity about his political ideologies .The best example among them  is his statement regarding “spiritual politics” . Is it not his duty to explain about it?  This phrase   has made the political analysts to doubt about the force behind  his decision to make a political entry.  This single phrase is enough to alienate the  minorities from him though he talked grandly about religion and caste free politics . Indians know what is “spiritual  politics” since , India is currently experiencing the heat of it through polarisation of different communities. One more force in that direction is not good for this nations  vibrant democratic functioning .
