NARCO analysis for Auntulay

I am not surprised by indian minority minister's comedies! KGB had described india as a country on sale! Pakistan army personal claim that they had information about moves of indian army before jawahar lal nehru! Pakistan prepares for indian invasion before we paln! I say our responsible people are behaving irresponsibly. NARCO analysis should be doen for Auntulay - how many hundred crores he has recieved from ISI?

2008 Novemeber - December elections in India

Results are out - so what does it indicate? In my opinion - only one thing - dont to over rule/ misguide or even over guide the public.
Its no ones win - if at all its win of development in Delhi - for Mrs. Sheela Dikshit. Other wise its just loss - for all. BJP and RSS if they percieve, they are being taught the lesson since 2004 parliament elections- dont try to act smart - people know every thing, u are not the only source of information; and yes you are not the master of nationalism or Hinduism. Calculations of jaitlys and mahajans failed not because they were bad, because people dont tolerate excesses, and those who fantsise with the exceses are not helping any one. There are people in the society smarter that these jaitlys and mahajans. People now vote for the work and not for information! If any one wants, please take the lesson.
Kashmir elections - whoever wins - there is big indication for terrorists and pakistan as well - people are turning around, run away before they chase you.

Police mindset- Is muslim community responsible for its image?

It’s really sad and frustrating to have administrative behave in this way again and again. Its just irresponsibility and insensitivity. But to me, bigger frustration is poor response from the Muslim intelligentsia. I am deeply sad to find a clear absence of Muslim group who can come forward to blame the terrorist group for the troubles of the community equally. At least few top Muslim intellectuals can visit the effected areas! They can give collective statement to clarify that these terrorists are not doing any good to any one including Muslims! I don't mean that there is no resistance against the terror groups among the Muslim community but it’s weak and meek, too little for the size of the problem and the Muslim community. Basically the fundamentalists of both Hindu and Muslim groups just help each other! There are enough intellectuals among the Muslim community to make the society feel that there is a "large" and powerful group of Muslims against these shortcut ways of the terrorist groups. The excuse by the terrorist groups that they are responding to different injustice and other socio- politico- economico- administrative problems of our country specially pertaining to muslim community, must be played down by the majority and responsible muslim intelligentsia in the country up to the level to match the destruction (social) caused by the terror group. Which Muslims in our country are strong enough to do and they have been doing calmly and quietly as it’s obvious by the frustration of the terror groups. But should be loudly and adequate enough to be noticed easily. Till there is an obvious resistance against the antisocial groups in the Muslim community, police or people mindset will appear to be anti Muslim in a nut shell. It’s sad but that’s how it is.

"Public Hai Sab Janati Hai", common people know everything!- about nanavati commision on Godhara

I realy wonder what is the aim of these commisions? To give job to the unemployed retired judges, to bring out the truth, or to confuse the masses? I did not suspect that politicians try to strengthen their opinion by appointing commisions, as that fact is a non controversial issue.
To give jobs to the high profile judges, it has been a noble idea; as most of the enquiries last long . . . .realy long. ..... very long. Two most important criterias to finish the enquiry- arrival of next important election or cooling of the issue. So it serves the purpose of jobs to the judges very well. Some times even after death of the presiding judge the enquiry is not completed! What a sucessful life span of the judge! But if the aim of the commisions is the other two- its just wastage of the intelligentia in our judges! The reason is that Indian people know enough truth . . . .more than at least those in any short of power! Commisions may enlighten their other part of genral awareness but they don't change their ideas and they need not to because of some judge siting in some office some where! But if the aim is to confuse the maasses, our politicians are poor people to whom I have full sympathy as they have failed measurably in that at least in my knowledge! In case of Nanavati or Banerjee commision, people know all in and out! People know how and why a moving train will catch fire only in two boggies spontaneously? People also know who were involved in the conspiracy if at all it existed? whether it was the government or the muslim group! People also know how the riot spreaded. As every one knows what was the fate of the BJP government before Modi came to Ahmedabad from New Delhi and what happened in the elections after the riot! Not that I am jealous that Modi became strong after elections, I am worried that people specialy judges ignore that Modi knew how to become strong. But bigger question is what is the use of discusing it at this moment?

Regional devide in India

Regional divide in India
Hating the fellow beings is nature of the living world but its absence marks humanity. Dog barks on dogs, tree does not allow sun and water to other tree but humanity spells the difference! More you come out of it more human you are.
India and the concept of Indian nation throbs the best in the hearts of the people in the Hindi heartland. Last few decades after computer magic and decline in the control over the national affair by the congress party in general and the Nehru- Gandhi family in particular has made people in the Hindi heartland a second grade citizen. But things will not remain so as at last India lives in its villages and now villages are remaining only in the Hindi heartland! (Joking but turn around will happen) its not long that politicians will have to pay attention.

Floods in Bihar

Floods in Bihar have been a perennial problem. Even in the best controlled years from 1970 to 1990, when the hard work of earlier people was showing the effect, part of Bihar like districts of Drabhanga and Sahrsa used to be flooded. The reason is the perennial rivers coming directly from Himalayan ranges which swell during rainy season. On top of that there have been decades of corruption and ignorance which is now showing the effect. The fact is that for last many decades no maintenance work has been done effectively. Superadded to that is the increased rainfall due to global warming. Only after that we should blame the "kamala Maiya" (that’s how Koshi - the respected – due to fear-river of Bihar is called in the region- like ganga). Koshi is known to change its course from the time of known human history. basicaly the whole region is a low land. Last more than 60 years Koshi did not change its course. Due to barrage in the Nepal area continued to Indian Territory. Now we have a hostile government in Nepal. The Nepal PM says that the koshi pact was the biggest fault! So, present "Pralya" in Bihar should be seen in totality. Not with patial vision.
To solve the problem first thing should be that our politicians should honest. Then they should have conviction to solve the problem. The fact is that all the top politicians from Bihar are from Bhojpuri speaking area where flood is not a problem. Leaders in Mithila which is affected with flood keep licking the foot of these people so that they can eat the relief money without problem!
Given the difficult situation of lively hood, migration is unavoidable from Mithila region. Given the insult and poor response even in their own state (people in Bhojpuri speaking area don’t look at them with any different attitude than ones in Mumbai), people from there are going to be hard to be pacified. At least I wish so. I am sure very few people will have courage to go in the area after seeing the devastation of flood. But there are people who make their huts every year braving the nature and ignorance and resistance of their fellow citizens! Who can match their tolerance, persistence and bravery? And if these people come out will there be any one who can defeat them? Those who are braving the nature, if they come out of the region, who can face them? Can some one match their courage and patience? And what else do you need to rule the world? The effect will be seen though it will take few more decades.

Are we insensitive to the terror attacks?

its about the discussion going to happen tonight on NDTV- "whether we have become insensitive to terror attacks"?
What do you want people to do to show their sensibility? Today morning i called my boss and started the discussion, he stopeed me in the middle- "the country is bound to go down. useless to discuss these things. just take care of your personal belongings . . . .by not going to the crowded places and keeping an eye on things around you". It effected me so much so that when my inlaws called me from a new number, i was to inform the police but good sense prevailed in time and i called my inlaws on known number and confirmed that it was their number!
In my opinion, Indian subcontinent have been ruled by inefficient, ignorant and irresponsible people immediately after downfall of ASHOKA. If human civilisation still exists there, its because of care which we take as an individual and we tolerate as a human being. People in Indian society do respond, in slow but decisive manner. they have toppled the rulers, governments even religions . . . . . .people are not insensitive, they are just waiting and weighing the options.
Dr. Manish

is scraping of POTA responsible for terror attacks?

i think more than the legislation, its commitment of the adminstrators and security personals, rulers (politicians) and at last but not the least, the juducuary, which is more important. i think adminstrators and security personnels in our country are ignorant and incapable, politicians are insensible and on top of all, we all are corrupt. only then the role of judiciary comes where a legislation comes to play a role. If police and intelligence people want, they can arrest any one on petty grounds. even by existing rules.

Communication with a patient

Respected Dr. i m suffering from back pain since 4 months. Actually, the Disc below L5 has slipped out & causing mild compression of S1 root (from MRI Test). Neuro & orthopaedic surgeons are telling that surgery is only the solution. Kindly suggest some alternate.Thanks.
My Reply
Do u have leg pain as well? If its only back ache, surgery may not be helpful .. . .
Please send me the MRI pictures, I can tell you better .. . . . . If surgery is necessary, its the simplest thing we as a neurosurgeon can do. Please come over to Chennai I can see and advice you in detail . .. . I can finish the surgery (if at all necessary) for just may be 25, 000 Rs.
Well my brother in law is at aligarh . . . .if want any help.

communication with a patient's relative

Hi, My friends son aged about 2.5 years is suffering from Pilocytic Astrocytoma in the brain stem. The MRI scan report gives the following conclusion-1. Large expansile lesion in mescancephalon involving tectum with cystic and solid components extending to cerebral pedencle with patchy enhancement.2. The above features are consistent with tectal plate pilocytic astrocytoma.Doctor from Apollo Chennai has given time of 1 year or max 1.5 years. They said that it lies in very critical position where surgery is not possible. The kid is normal without showing any symptom of brain tumor, only the problem lies with the usage of left hand and leg. He uses very rare to hold articles and try to use only his right hand always.Please let me know any info/advice on this or is there any alternate treatment.
My Reply
I was trained at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai only, tell me the consultant who saw the baby.Yes if its Pilocytic astrocytoma . . . . . . even if the baby survives longer- the fact is, its not going to be longer than few years . . . . . in the best case may be maximum of 5 years- may be 6 . . . .if treated with all possible surgery/ medications (which will cost few lakhs and will leave the baby weak on one side which already is there). In our country most of us are not in a situation of investing like that for sure no return! Untill u have insurance (which most of us don't). Fact is that its not worth treating. Still, if you are ready to put few lakhs just like that- for your satisfaction . . . .if u r a millionarie- surgery . . . . radiation . . . . .may be even few medications . . . . . .may be tried. And yes, if u believe in magic, thats is also possible as TB is like our national disease . . . . after all said . . . after surgery the pathology report may through a surprise . . . . . and the doctor may say you grinning that it was an infection . . . . .. . Please keep the baby happy and wish no one else gets the disease.

Hinduism vis a vis other religions- my opinion

I have tried to read different religion books after reading main religious books of hinduism. I even read kalma- but to me it is just my acceptance to the single god- almighty- STRONGLY- thats all Islam tells- as a basic difference- which i don't find bad any way- i don't find anything else new or differnt in that as well! Of course it gives fantastic guidence for personal management at micro level.
After different readings which continues, i find the following things. I might be wrong- please tell me.
Hinduism is a guide for rulers. It has code of conduct only for judges (god or god like people)- for common mass it has deeds and its results- if you do good- you will get prize, if you do bad you will get punishment- by the god. You may do either- nothing is against Hinduism! You have an indicataion of what is better- but never a compulsion. You have an ideal- which you should try to be/ follow allthrough your life- and which every one is sure that you will not- by no means you can be perfect- but you need not to be! From Grihstha to Sanyasi- every one is Hindu! Rama and Ravna both were Hindus! Both the sides of Mahabharata were Hindus- relatives- own blood! And that was where the religion was tested! In the most trying circumstances! Where most people are confused, hinduism is very clear. That most important thing in life is life itself!
Other religions- you have a fixed code of conduct- if you do that you belong to that religion- or else not. If some thing was missed by the first person of the religion, the religion is devided at that point! And there is a wound at the division point! Hinduism is the religion of continuous evolution! Hinduism has been divided so many times and still the divisions have been so smooth; still it is so intact that the division and unity appears like branches of the single tree!
Minimum 4 religions from India have enlightened the world! But India itself remains only the source of light! The great Hinduism! Single like orange!
Some times few people try to creat CHIRAG TALE ANDHERA. I can simply say- Just avoid them, but human inside me says- try to bring them on right path- by making them to understand the basic religion- of humanity! All other religions are adavancements on and over that. And this basic religion is most closer to Hinduism- because it says that the most important thing in life is life itself!

I like Mr. M. J. Akbar as an Indian, a journalist, a secularist an Indian Muslim . . . so many reasons including our geographical closeness. His article- "How Pakistan Insulates India from Terror" (Times of India, 15th june 2008) has made me to think in two opposite directoions which probably Mr. Akbar did not want readers to do.

If Mr. Akbar aims at Pakistan's present alone, he is 100% right that Pakistan as a dream land of muslims of the reason has failed measurably. Probably a simple emotional Muslim would not have expected or wished that. May be serving as a bad example, present Pakistan might be making the choice of the Indian Muslims easier in the era of confusions and misunderstandings. But if by that Mr. Akbar is aiming at demeaning the loss caused to the world humanity and civilization by bifurcation and later trifurcation of British India, he is making big mistake. In my opinion, present unrest led by "wrongly enlightened" muslims in the world is not associated with Islam, Muslim or their welfare. Yes, it is associated with the politics which is made on the name of such attractive words. And, in this regard, a unified Independent British India would have served as a stronger source of light through its socio- political and intellectual power. In that case world history would have been different. Totaly diferent. And, even now if we just understand this we can change this world.

And, in dividing British India, Britishers played pivotal role as the inducers, continuous catalysts and emerged as the only winners. That they were sad on division of the British Indian Army was a lesser and artificial truth mostly due to personal and emotional reasons if anything.

And, borders are not safe if made up of strong walls. If so, no fort would have been ever captured! Borders are unsafe only if the citizens/ security personals are not loyal or uncapable. And don't suspect the loyality of Muslims. Only short sighted and poorly informed people will do that, whoever he or she might be. Neither any one should suspect their patriotism, if some one does so, he or she should read the history again and again. And the loyality and patriotism comes through proper enlightenment. And that comes in this region naturaly due to the culture and civilisataion of this "region" which is based on knowledge, freedom and tolerance. Many examples of varied types can be seen on individual and community basis.

To finish, i would request Mr. Akbar to write another article to clarify these confusions if some one had. I think Mr. Akbar can do it in the best possible way and he is the best person to do that.

attacks on the media people

Insecurity is rising all over the world day by day. It is being noticed by every one without exceptions. Ofcourse more so in unstable reasons. Like maximum killings in Iraq and so. Media people or for that reason most of the middle class are soft target in case of any violence as we can't protect ourselves due to lack of any "power" whatsoever. This is all to be condemned. Without exception. But few of these incidences need closer look, on analysis they lead on to different meanings . . . . probably could have been avoided . . . .or they are something with different clues and conclusions. I will like to bring all that to a book, but i can't do that now so i will try to bring at least few of them in which i was directly concerned. Before going in to the details, Let me tell you that in conclusion i feel that part of the insecurity posed to media can be blamed to the attitude of the media people. They are running for "hot", "stunning", "garama Garam", "Masaledar" news alone! They are making it a news when and only when its hot. If its cold, its of no use to media people! For example, there was a serial "jeena isi ka nam hai". Every "group" of people including those with corruption and criminal charges were brought to show how people should live except any scientist or any buisenessman who have been doing so much for this country tolerating every injustice. Even media could not justify their devotion and hard work. Not even Abdul Kalam attracted them! And in this run for the garama-garam news many times they earn the wrath of even those who otherwise sympathise with them. It can happen by either ignoring the sensible presentable thing by which you at least lose the sympathy or by giving undue importance to something or a mixture of both when one of the parties is overpresented. Dear reader, the worst thing is doctors beating the media people. Although I am at Chennai, I can guess what might have happened. But bigger issue is what made doctors to become violent? In my opinion whole lot of the young generation of medical professionals in India is stresed. People, media and politicians are ignoring it. Before i explain further, let me tell you my story from Tamilnadu. Around 10 years ago when I was doing my internship at Madurai Medical college, a political party affiliated criminal was caught by the doctors in side the hospital campus with sickle in his hand. He was overpowered by the doctors when he was chasing a doctor . . . . . He was left by the police officials then and there with support of the poltiticised college administration. We had gone for a flash strike which lasted for 4 days. Another time (the two incidents occured within few months) a politicaly supported professor turned college administrator threw away our belongings from the hostel to show off his administrative skills. I still remember his threatenning voice- " I am telling this to you people not as a teacher, as an administrator". Again we went for flash strike which lasted for 4 days. In both these cases i was personaly in touch with the top media people at Madurai. Both the time they gave a cold shoulder. Rather one of the well circulated national daily brought out an article commenting on volatile situation in the hospoital indirectly blaming the junior doctors. In the same city after around 10 years by almost similar group a daily news paper's office with its employees was burnt! The whole country and i wish whole world would have been shocked. I too was terribly shaken. But knowing the people around, i was not surprised. I feel and i am telling it from my heart, by ignoring their earlier activities (they might have done more similar activites), media had made them stronger enough to attack and harm the media people themselves. Coming back to the young medical professionals, dear reader, we are all overstressed due to multiple factors. It includes uncertainty of carrier and job, unorganised services, poor recognition of skill and performance, substandard training, continuance of the slavery attitude (which was transmitted by the britishers to the then young Indian doctors) by the professors/ seniors. On the top of all that there is total mismatch in demand and supply and gross malinformation and corruption in the government programmes. About all that even today I keep talking to the media people but they are not abale to segregate the fully qualified practicing doctor and a junior doctor or between a corrupt person doing unethical practice and a principled hard working doctor. And in this tensed up insecure environment we all are made to live for the sake of the politicians! Media never talks about that. Media talks if a doctor holds a criminal who has ransacked in the hospital (other than doctor and hospital employee any one can become a patient, even a criminal is a patient only. And who is there to safeguard the doctors from these criminal elements? Have you ever thought?) and not if a criminal turned patient tortures the doctor. Have you ever imagined how the doctors would be coping with the criminalas/ politicians who live in the hospitals? Has any one tried to shoot that in a hidden camera?Dear friend, I again express my deep sorrow to those who were beaten by the doctors at Patnaa, but i feel it needs wider introspection to whole of the society thaan just a prersentation aabout attacks on the media people. killing in Kargil war is not compaarable with burning in the ofice by our own criminals.Dr. Manish Kumardrmanku@yahoo.co.in

Naxalism in India vis a vis Terrorism

The most important fact- one is responsible for his own decisions.
Second important quote- choices have consequences.
Terrorists and naxals have opted for such life, every one in their (same) situation has not become same way, has not followed the same path.
Still I have full sympathy for them. In my opinion naxalism in India has born out of ignorance and inadequacy on part of administration, administrators and facilities in our country. It is due to failure of the well to do people to make people understand that they are the part of the system. Most of the people feel its because of leftist influence, but in fact its just that they are leading the masses, the support which they enjoy is not because of some Marx, its because of our own administrators' and leaders' ignorance who enjoy the facilities sitting in the big towns and cities.
To me an individual actively associated with naxal activity is some one whose life has been lit by the light from the wrong side of the society. That wrong side is Marxism. But responsibility of leaving the dark area in the society is ours. Whatever is the cause.
So in my opinion, we should have full sympathy with them and try to convince them and make them learn the reality of the world.
I think up to some extent same thing employs for terrorism except the fact that most of the time its supported by some or other state/ country which can't do the work on its own so they are firing by using the unofficial army. But in that case when our own people start supporting the enemies, we have to look in to our selves. Though no society in this world is fully clean having 100% social justice and caring for human rights, but we must try to achieve that ideal state. once we try to do that, terrorism loses support in our own citizens, its no more terrorism, its guerrilla war. Its not that simple but I think we can understand like that and try to make better out of the situation.

Caste system of India: Devil and Unavoidable

Caste system is the single most important factor in present India. If we see the history of Indian civilization aand compare it with those who have recent human populations, we find it comparatively lesser complicated. India has more than two thousand ethnic groups, and every major religion is represented, as are four major families of languages (Indo-European, Dravidian, Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman languages) as well as a language isolate (the Nihali language spoken in parts of Maharashtra). Further complexity is lent by the great variation that occurs across this population on social parameters such as income and education. Only the continent of Africa exceeds the linguistic, cultural and genetic diversity of the nation of India. It should be noted that Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman and Austro-Asiatic are mainly linguistic terms and denote speakers of these linguistic groups.

Although 80.5% of the people are Hindus, India, with 13.4% of its population Muslim, is also home to the third-largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan. India also contains the majority of the world's Zoroastrians, Sikhs and Jains. Other religious groups include Christians (2.3%), Buddhists (0.8%), Jews and Bahá'ís.

There are 216 languages with more than 10,000 native speakers in India. The largest of these is Hindi with some 337 million (the second largest being Bengali with some 207 million). 22 languages are recognized as official languages. In India, there are 1,652 languages and dialects in total.

Sanskrit 14,135

The northern Indian languages from the Indo-European family evolved from Old Indo-Aryan such as Sanskrit, by way of the Middle Indo-Aryan Prakrit languages and Apabhramsha of the middle Ages. There is no consensus for a specific time where the modern north Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Sindhi, Bengali and Oriya emerged, but CE 1000 is commonly accepted. Each language had different influences, with Hindi/Urdu and closely related languages being strongly influenced by Persian and Arabic. The South Indian (Dravidian) languages had a history independent of Sanskrit. However in later stages all the Dravidian languages had been heavily influenced by Sanskrit. The major Dravidian languages are Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

By explaining these, my aim is to stress upon and bring out the complexity cropped up in our social and national life. There has long drawn mixing of races, languages and civilization in this part of the world. The fact is that even after so many centuries (no one knows exactly about the time period) there are adequate signs of existence of all those groups. No one has been devastated/ eliminated. I feel we should be proud of that. But our politicians and few short sighted intellectuals, both for their own mean purposes, try to deepen the furrows and utilize the history for their own purpose. This demographic variation was sought as basis for division of the country on religious grounds. Luckily by our leaders many more divisions have been prevented. Of course our democracy has worked as the basis to mitigate all the problems.

Dear friends, caste system is not only due to the caste system of ancient India which had divided as per the profession in to 4- varnas. There are different “jaat” in each varnas and many more divisions and subdivisions. And after all these divisions the hierarchy keeps maintained at every level starting from varnaas till the sub- sub caste.

Now where is the problem? Problem was in untouchability. The untouchability feature in the caste system is one of the cruelest features of the caste system. It is seen by many as one of the strongest racist phenomenon in the world. This one factor we as Indians, as Hindus are trying to overcome. But few people have started taking benefit of their birth in those communities. When the social stigma attached was going to die, they want to keep the memories alive so that they can take benefit out of it in socio- political terms.

There can be everlasting discussion about these things. The fact is that caste system if untouchability excluded, was the result of evolution and civilization. Cruelty associated if we leave the untouchability factor, has never been different from the usual contemporary behaviour anywhere in this world.

In my opinion this caste system is like self made social and political cocoon of India and Indians. I request every one to forget this caste muddle and to come out of it and come forward to live and enjoy the world as a free individual.

My prescription for happiness: From Rajnish to Baba Ramdeo, all inclusive!

In olden days life was easy. Most of the people used to live managing their day today concern and if that is accomplished, forget themselves in the feet of god! Probably they did not even know a word called happiness which could have been imagined separate from life!
With increasing mechanistion and division of labor which means increasing civilization, people became busier and life more complicated. Something was missing in this fray. They looked around and found that it could be named as happiness! But they were not clear how it comes, how it looks like . . .. all they knew that it is essential component of life. People became confused about the meaning of “happiness”. And the confusion continues. Many people have tried to understand the reason of loss of “comfort”, “happiness” even in presence of all physical amenities for the same. Every one claims that his idea is the best.But to me it appears like description of an elephant by the seven blinds! From sex to saints to karma yoga every thing has been tried and spoken about. Then which one is correct? Or at least which one is the best?
As a physician I have analysed the usefulness of all of these different methods of achieving happiness. In my opinion, every claim is only partly correct! As good as the description of the elephant by the seven blinds. What matters is customization of the therapy for different person/ patient to me!
Starting from happiness through sex and celebration given by Rajnish, to yoga - sadhana which seems to have reincarcinated with different computer babas like Ramdeo, all has its own limited but important role in human life. Its dose, period and mode of delivery need to be decided properly. Every method has to be used precisely in a particular person depending upon his merit. I have mastered this complicated issue; please contact me for free help if you need.

Why our politicians play cheap ………………politics . . . …………

Because they are running out of ideas which can bring better life to our citizens. Every one in the history of India who played a major role starting from lord Rama, lord Krishna, chanakya and chandragupta, Akbar, Gandhi and Ambedakar . . . . had original ideas and they were the best for that time. Even later people like Nehru, Indira and Rajiv had some original vision for the country which was reasonably good for the country and the world. At present our politicians are mentally bankrupt. So, they are trying to use the names of the past heroes to protect their own bread. It is applicable to every politician without exceptions (except me).

They also find that the people are running for the shortcuts. People want quick fixes. No one is ready to wait. People go by caste, religion, region, language and still lower subdivisions found day by day which was never heard of earlier . . . . . . Our leaders are no more people with noble ideas and solutions of the problem. They no more show the ways! They have become the followers of their supporters. If the supporters say jai sri ram! Jai sri ram becomes their election slogan! Up to some extent even this is fine. But if a leader can’t see the dangers or the falsies of the popular feelings, he doesn’t deserve to be called so. And not only that, he should show the way out of it which should be better and acceptable . . . . . . hope we will get one such leader soon . . .. . . or else wait for me.

Kashmir and India

People say Kashmir as paradise on earth. They also say it as the diamond in the Indian crown. For last 60 years it has been the flash point between India and Pakistan. So many invasions have taken place from the Pakistani side since independence. Similar number of agreements also have been done from both the sides. Except the long haul of around 17- 18 years after Shimla agreement, the reason has been regularly under trouble. After 1989 general elections, as the trouble in Punjab was almost over and a weak political group was in power in Delhi, Kashmir was painted with blood through a new style of proxy war called terrorism! Since then it is not getting controlled mainly because we don't have visionary leader anywhere in this reason at present. The present leaders are just mediocre business man type! If any one of Gandhi, Nehru or Indira type would have been alive, the death dance would have been stopped long ago!
Going to the little bit of history, this blood bath is the result of the same hatred campaign started by Britishers which resulted in separation of Pakistan. At that time few states were in confusion over their inclusion. It included Kashmir (king Hari Singh), Hyderabad (Nizam) and Junagarh (Sir Shahnawaz- father of zulfikar ali bhutto). Indian leaders tactfully (!) or by their laziness waited for the opportune time for intervention. In kashmir it was when Pakistan supported militia invaded. After invitation from the king the militia was stopped and Kashmir was integrated with Indian nation with special status which still continues. Fight to get the area under control of Pakistan army (the militia were non but undressed Pakistan army) was continued till Nehru requested UN intervention which called for peace and election by the Kashmiris to decide for their choice of nation- whether they want to be with Pakistan or with India. At that time Pakistan did not want that to happen being aware of the consequences as the people of Kashmir were annoyed with the Pakistani invasion. As his simplistic character, Nehru couldn't see the future. And the result is everlasting pain to every one concerned.
Here I must mention the role of Abdullas in Kashmir. Sheikh Abdulla who started his political carrier from struggle against feudalism under the banner of his party called muslim conference, found friend in Nehru and went ahead with changing the name of his party to National Conference and participated in Indian Independence. He was the first prime minister of the Jammu and Kashmir. After death of Nehru, he was jailed and later exiled. later in 1974 he had compromise with Indira Gandhi and became the chief minister of the state till his death. After his death his son Mr. Farooq Abdulla became the chief minister. His grand son Mr. Omar abdulla has been the foreign minister for state in the BJP led NDA government. I remember Mr. Farooq Abdulla ststing- " Kashmir is the need for secular India as it is the only example where a muslim dominated state is part of India." Recently Omar Abdulla has aired his concern about the migration of Kashmiri pandits in no uncertain terms. In my opinion, Abdullas have been clear about their roles and in present India they are one of the few really secular leaders.
At present Kashmir is one of the most unsafe places in this world. Future depends on the policy makers of India, mass of Kashmir and the leaders of the region. Altogether the paradise of this world is in uncertain depth of problems where only time will bring it out from.

Pakistan and India

Division of India in to India and Pakistan is the sad reality without which the world scenario would have been different. First of all the unaccountable monetary and human loss would not have happened. The great Indian nation would have been strong enough to silent any enemy including China.
It was the result of a planned hatred campaign. The seeds of this hatred was sown by the leaving Britishers. Added by the selfish and impatient attitude of few leaders, this hatred campaign resulted in bifurcation of this country.
Problem now is not that we are two different countries, problem is that still we are not at ease. We (both Pakistanis and Indians) are yet to recover from that hatred campaign. The fact is that hatred campaign/ other forms of attack on India comes like life saver to the rulers of Pakistan now and then. At the same time inefficient, irresponsible, selfish, liar and coward politicians/ administrators of India use blaming Pakistan and its ISI as safe corridor to come out of any difficult situation.
But among all this there are few good things on both sides. Specially when there are democratically elected governments in power in Pakistan, relations are better. Though Pakistani text books teach hate to the young Pakistanis which Indian text books don't, there have been many national friends in both the countries towards the other side. From Pakistan to name few from beginning- Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, Mulkraj Anand, Bhuttos, Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan and so many; really i don't know most of their names. People on both the sides behave in a friendly manner. That is the biggest hope for future.
What we on either side of the border have to understand that unity and co- operation is the need as we are neighbors and together we can do a lot. The mistrust is un- treatable only between the governments, with masses all that needs is shaking hands with each other and all the confusions will be over. No one wants to un- do 1947, but every one wants peace which is necessary for development. There are few people who feel that they can cheat the other one, and I have only one sentence for them; "future will not forgive you as you ugly design is not going to remain hidden for ever".

terrorist attacks in India

friends,
after life few people every politician gets a mood to move his tongue. nothing else. but even that reflects their blood. who ever talks, it sounds more political than the real concern or plan. i say after 60 years of independence and so much of revolution in communication, our demography which can suit any group in this world, how come our security personnels (including the intelligence agency and mainly i mean them only)remain clue less! what government plans for that? thats the real concern. those who are dead will never com back- at least learn from them- but we don't feel like learning. its because the politicians are thick skinned people. they don't bother about the masses. they don't feel the pain of others. Thats why we get attacked like this.

Tonic- Clonic Seizures

My 8-month old son has a tonic-clonic seizures attacking almost everyday (averaging 20 shouts per day). He is not able to raise his head. Is this curable? Until when my son will suffer?

We spent too much for his treatment, but to no avail.

Manish (myself) -

fits in child hood

Please get an EEG done and preferably an MRI as well. If u can't afford MRI please get at least CT scan of brain done.
Fits in child hood if associated with fever alone is nothing to worry or else we should not ignore it.
Waiting for ur reply-
Dr. Manish Kumar

Patient's father

Thanks Dr. Manish

My baby undergo the following:
1. New-born Screening : Normal
2. EEG : Tonic-Clonic Seizures
3. CT Scan : Normal
4. MRI is scheduled few months

Dr. Manish, let me make it clearer as to what really the case of my baby all about for your further analysis:

1. Both families (mine and my wife's) doesn't have any history of Epilepsy or the like.
2. This happen 5 days after they left in the Hospital (he was about 12 days old).
3. New born screen test says "Negative" to any disease.
4. 2 weeks after the incident, we consult a doctor (pedia-neuro)
5. My baby undergo EEG...and the diagnose was "Tonic-Clonic Seizures"
6. The said doctor, was the only pedia-neuro doctor in our province/island.
7. We take second opinion from other pedia-neuro doctor across the sea.
8. The advise was the same, so we decided to stick on our doctor to avoid extra expenses.
9. Presently, he is taking these medicines:
- Topamax (Topiramate)
- Rivic Acid (Anti-Convulsant)
- Otril
- Macrobeetlysine Syrup
- Depakine Syrup
10. We are visiting the said doctor every month or twice a month depending on the attacks.
11. There is a development (i.e attacks occurs less frequent)

My concern no is: Can my baby has a chance to live a normal life (even attacks occur) since until now, he can not raise his head, he don't know how to swallow foods/milk, he moves rarely when he is awake (but his eyes transfer from one place to another faster than normal). We are also wondering why when he is asleep, he seems to be normal : He is stretching his body and laughs (both he can't do when awake).

Correction

Result for EEG : Multi focal Sharps

Manish (myself) -

going further

EEG has made it clear that ur baby needs treatment. MRI will put the final nail. few conditions can be corrected surgically and baby will be free from medications. but i think instead of firing in air we should wait for MRI pictures. MRI should be done with EPILEPSY PROTOCOL or else it will not be useful. please send me pics, comment by radiologist doesn't satisfy neurosurgeons like me.
please keep in touch anyway.
Dr. Manish Kumar

Patient's father

EEG reading is abnormal due to the presence of rare multi focal sharps from both temporo-occipital areas and fronto-central areas.
There is no MRI in our area at present.

hello, medications are ok. u may need to increase the dose if seizure reccurs. sorry i did not know that philipines doesn't have MRI! in india we have one on every corner! well thats not "the" investigation. If its there its better (JUST TO SATISFY HIM). Most of the gross anatomical abnormalities can be seen by CT. But if u don't have MRI till date means u don't have neurosurgeon who can use it for epilepsy surgery minimum for next 10 years. That leaves u with no choice but to continue the medications. I hope and wish ur baby comes around.
thanks

Dr. Manish,
In the Philippines, MRI is also available. What I mean is, in our province/Island it will be available by mid of this year. Have to check if there's any neorusurgeon in our province (24hrs ship travel to manila). Since we don't have much resources for now, me & my wife decided to wait until june, hopefully. Dr. Manish, is my baby's disease curable? or shall he suffer for the rest of his life?

Manish Kumar wrote:
hello,
first of all sorry for my earlier observation about MRI. If MRI shows any surgicaly excisable lesion, probably we can make the baby free of medications. If no, then it remains a matter of chance- if the baby remains seizure free with the present medications for 3 years- under medical supervision- you can reduce the medications and wishfully it can be stoped one day.
I mean to say, it might be a curable disease. Lets wait for the MRI/ control of seizures.
Dr. Manish

Patient's father

Thank you Dr. Manish, you gave us Hope! We will wait for the MRI result and will forward the same to you..Thank you really...May God Bless you and your Family.

i have been admitted in the hospital once...but the docs havnt diagnosed the prob...
they say its more psychiatric problem than neuro,,,

Manish (myself) -

????? seizures

your condition may not be exactly seizure but if you are sure of your unhealthy status (that u r sick and u don't creat scene . . . . . . .and this is easy to decide here as i hope no one else is watching) you can take Carbamazepine (shop keeper will call it as it "tegtrital) 200 mili gram two times. Its not a harmful medicine any way. I think i can help you more if talk to me on my mobile- 09840267857.
Dr. Manish Kumar

patient-

btw...i forgot to mention...
i had suffered from a brain hemorrhage...n from my CT scan docs say i have swelling...
n they also kept me on Clonazepam 0.5 MG (x3/day) and Carbamazepine 200MG (1/2 tablet every evening)

Manish (myself) -

???????????????

r u joking with me? Any way but i am serious. Please give me full detail for proper advice.

communication with a patient's son

Patient's Son- m from mumbai India
4 month back my dad had an heart attack, doc told us that was severe heart attack,
and if we want to save his life, he need to go for angiography and angioplasty. After angioplasty and angiography he was on ventilator for 15-20 days, but he is still unconscious, when we asked doc what is the reason he told us his brain tissue is dead because of heart attack!
Now he is not able to understand anything. He is now on liquid diet. For his breathing problem doc inserted one pipe in his throat through small operation. He can't speak, not able to respond,
but some time he smiles, some time tears come from his eyes,
he can move his hand and feet, doc told me this is the condition for rest of his life.
Can anyone guide me any other treatment which we can try at least my father can understand and respond to us.

Manish (myself) -

hard luck

Friend, it is sad to say but ur father is in bad health and as other people have told, there is nothing much which can be done for him. Exercise and keep trying to talk to him even if he doesn't reply- he can understand - tell him the good things (human attitude- he can understand- if feels bad- can't do anything). And pray to god. In rare conditions few improvements may come till 2nd year. Rare- very rare- need luck- pray god.
Dr. Manish Kumar

Patient's Son- thanks for ur reply bur we are surprised. He went in to the hospital walking . . .how can it happen all of a sudden?

Manish (myself) -

your curiosity is valid. its because brain is such a tender organ, it can't tolerate a reduction in the blood supply by more than 50% for more than few minutes. if the cut in the blood supply is total brain will die within 3 minutes. and thats the limit of human interference. we have just that much time to act within.
Patient's Son- thank you very much sir for reply,
It helped me to understand the condition of my father,
we should hope for the best, god is great he'll help us in some way. Sir i had noticed while my father was on ventilator they gave him sleeping injection twice a day, does this cause any serious problem? One of my friend told me, too much of sleeping dose will create problem.

Manish: (myself) -

To keep patient on ventilator sleeping medication is essential- dosage doctors take care. More over i will tell you to imagine two different situation- you are on the back seat of a car and feel that the driver is driving badly and may land you in trouble- you may take over from the driver! But if you are traveling in a flight, even if you are a trained pilot, you can't take over the plain in other than exceptional condition. So? You enjoy the travel! In case of hospital and doctors the second condition employs. I can't treat even my father if he is not admitted in my care. Then how can you interfere? you just leave the job to those who are doing it. Trust them and pray god to show them the right path.

Indian Females

I am sorry to say but very rarely I find exception to my statement- we find either battered or papmered females . . . . .very rarely normal grown females who can stand up on her own and speak out her brain/ heart!
When I say so, sometimes the lady ("The gentle lady") before me looks "down" at me with frowning eyes and asks, "hey! what do you want me to talk?" As if another moment she will hold my neck . . . .is that normal?
Another statement is in general- Ladies are the worst enemies of ladies . . .. i think its a world wide accepted phrase! But in Indian context we have to understand it like this- the fight between daughter and mother in law . . . ..

Politics of Religion . . . .

India though is a secular country, its politicians are not "neutral" towards religions . . . . .they are "positively" secular or "negatively" secular, never a "neutral" secular! (Its like Indian females - they are either battered or pampered- very rarely you find normal grown females who can stand on their own and talk out their brain . . . . and probably heart . . . more on it later) The reason being that India is basicaly a religious country . . . .. people have survived centuries of invasion and slavery just because of their adherence towards religion . . . . . or probably conditions have made them religious . . . ..
But we should allow the politician's cheap slogans to sweep away our heart! Now its time when Indians should decide by work . . . . .Not by slogans or affilition to the religion . . . .community . .. .

Reservations in India and Creamy Layer

Reservation inIndia is a good way of engineering social justice . . .It was started by / with support of people who were no getting the benefit of the policy . . . .out of pure concern for the country . . . . .citizens. . . now it has abecome more a political issue . . . .specialy its being used by the selfish politicians for their own benefits. . . .it comes in to lime light exactly at the time of elections . . . .then goes to cold storage . . . . .if government wants to realy implement it, it can do that without any opposition . .. . . . without caring for the oposition . . .. landlordship, privy purses of royal families, nationalisation of banks, landsheiling act are the examples when people lost bigger benefits . . .their role as a ruler . . . . .. . . .. . . but no, then they (politicians) will miss the headlines, so they want to cut the chicken on the cross road . . . .to show what they eat!
More over how come a rule will last for ever without being outdated and losing the context. So is the reservation policy! It was aimed at improving the downtrodden, there were so many floss in its implementation; but in last more than 50 years it has done good for few if not many people . . . . .If they continued exploiting this policy . . . . . they will never allow others in their same community to come up. Also it will have a bad effect on the society grossly. Bad effect you should come and see in Tamilnadu where you will not find even a single Brahmin some time in government instituions/ departments . . . . its in the phase of reverse discrimination . . .. . more over once upon a time medical college of Chennai- Madras medical college used to harbour the top professionals- now you find hardly few. Once upon a time there used to be large contribution in UPSC, IIT. This Year only less than 9000 students appeared in IIT and UPSC results you can find number around 30! The reason is that here Brahmins are usualy docile and the only group other than them in forward community is Chettiar- Vaishya Baniya. The bigger fact is that the castist combine here knew how to extract work from the government machinery in a castist manner- not like our mulayam or laloo who actualy didi not know how to work.
Concept of creamy layer will avoid Tamilnadu like situation and make sure that the benefit reaches to the lower strata realy and the needy ones. Otherwise you can see in Tamilnadu that people of same family keep taking the benefit for generations together and the the once who couldn't take the benefit in earlier generations . . . .remained unefected/ devoid of any benefit till today! This way we will have a group of people from every community who will be benefitted again and again . . . . and will never allow the reservation policy to be useful for the needy ones. More over they (those who are benefiting for generations) are the ones against creamy layer concept! As they are having the risk of losing the "royal" traetment. Make these people out of this categroy and soon you will that these people have started shouting against the reservation policy altogether- then you ask them about their attitude/ responsibility for the socity/ towards the weaker section . . . . . . . .. till that time their statements should not be taken impartial and so decisive.

My religion

I was born in a hindu family- so hindu if it means freedom, tolerance . . . .
I feel Islam gives courage to die for a cause - i am a muslim if it means "musallam eeman" and brotherhood . . .. .
Jainism - if it means pious life style
Sikh- if it means bravery with never say die attitude
Christianity- if it means moderation as per the conditions

Human life, god, religion and politics

People discuss alot about few things which include the above mentioned ones. I have been listenning to the fight since my childhodd as a son of an ethist. Finaly i believe, god is necessity of human life, whether it exists realy or not, doesn't matter. Its like u take the pills as adviced by the doctor, if it helped u, u praise the doctor, if did not, u curse him . . . . . u go to other doctor . . . . again their. But god is necessary, after all ur time wasting u will find urself at some time or another to pronounce "god"! Like u shout for doctor in dire emergency, may call even the same one who failed for some one near and dear to u!Religion is totaly different in the sense that after all, its man made and most of the time by a single person and so imperfection is natural. In that case older the religion, safer/ more practical its. More democratic its. more open it is. But religion survives due to peoples faith/ belief . . .mostly/ some times blind . . . .At the end, politics is the dirty way of life who takes benefit out of ur weakness. If religion is ur weakness, politician will exploit that! Administration asks for the tax for what ever u have/ u own! u have religion, pay tax! If religion is the weakness of the society, politician will exploit full society. God, religion and politics mixed together, is a deadly combination! Thats why Marx said it as "opium". Mind u he did not tell opium for god, he told so for the religion.There is a medical joke- Neutoric is the one who makes the castle in the air, psychic is the one who lives in it and psychiatrist is the one who collects the rent (and enjoys!!!!) !God is the one who made the world, religion makers devided it, human beings fight for the boundaries and politicians enjoy the game.As i said u earlier, its an ever lasting story/ discussion . . . . if u need help, please tell me . . .

Rajarappa and Me

Rajarappa is one of the 12 Shakti peeths in India. parts of the burnt body of Shail Putri (daughter of King Himalaya who had married lord shiva and reached her fathers's house uninvited and had burnt herself when felt insulted) had fallen on these 12 places while lord shiva was doing "tandav" holding his wife's body on his two hands. Rajarappa is geographicaly located in a fantastic place where two rivers - Damodar and one more- i don't know the name meet. It is a water fall actualy and some one said that this is the only place where a female river falls in to a male river! the temple is having a dejeted apearance- reminding the situation of the administartion and the socioeconomic status of the people aaround/ in the state. if it would have been in any other state, it would have become famous as vaishno devi, kali mandir in kolkata . . . . i have been an aethist . . . .in my child hood, i used to half kill the ants and used to chalange the "god" to protect that if he can! and invariably god used to fail to protect those ants . . . .so many died due to my aggression! in the same line in 2001 when i visited the place for the first and the last time till now, i had thrown a chalange to devi. I had a ganglion (inflammatory swelling from the membrane which covers the bones around the joints) on my wrist. some times it becomes painful- any way it looks awkward! it can only be treated surgicaly . . . .I thought in my mind- fine if devi exists my swelling should subside- as in my opinion it can't happen. But surprisingly by the time i came to Ramgarh, it had disapeared! this time god haas won! by default or by rule . . . . I have thought in my mind that i will organise medical camps whenevr i can at that location! if some one of you is from there pleasae comeforward to help me . . .. Dr. Manish Kumar

Cheap Politics: An All India phenomenon

Its sad that people of AB stature are targeted like this. This also makes possible to guess the poor condition of the people at lower socio- economico- political level . . . . But is there any hope? Is it not that this has become the fate of our middle class/ non politician masses - until unless he/ she has political protection? Including foreign guest like taslima nasareen- just for politics! Tamilandu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and even the state like west bengal feel that every one in this country is trying to take away their bread! Then people in northern India hindi heartland are suffering from caste mania! They are still in the shell and not able to think out of that and the politicians enjoy that. other states like gujarat the condition of religious minority- i don't know i have not been there and if talk just because others say, my neighbour who makes good sweats may kill me!
Altogether its a poor state of affairs. The reason being that for centuries we have been ruled by people not concerned with us! Earlier they were foreigners, now even these our own people turned politicians have learnt the same lesson- they do what is beneficial for them without bothering for us. We need some rama, some chandragupta/ chanakya combine, akbar or gandhi to keep us united! any one around? if no, wait for me . . . . .

I read Kalma

Yes I have read Kalma! As I say so, i feel i might be misguiding you by hiding the fact that I had tried to become Muslim. No, I am a Muslim! I read Kalma guided by the chief Imam of the Tamilnadu government. It has personal reasons which I don't want to discuss here. As I feel "Akbar" was the greatest Indian ruler, i added his name in mine. I will try to keep the meaning of Musalman as "mussallam eeman".

Bhumihars- near past, present and future

Bhumihars have palyed major role in development of society in the 19th century and eaarly years of 20th century. To name a few Mangal Pandey, Swaami Sahajananda Saraswati, Acharya Chatrusen, Ramadhari Singh Dinakar . . . . . . . but after the rule of Sri Krishna Singh in Bihar due to high handed attitude of Mahesh Prasad Singh, Bhumihars started suffering setbacks. First was severe anti campaign by the media against Mahesh Prasad Singh who was the most eligible cnqaadidate for the chief ministership of Bihar. It was not that after that no one from Bhumihars could ever become Bhumihar, they coudnot maintain their strength. Actualy speaking after Sri Krishna Singh, there have been no mass leader in Bihar do something good for Bihar.
At present most of Bhumihar youths take pride in discussing their past. Fact is that they don't have the substance of Sri Krishna Singh . . . If some one among them will have . . . . . they have everything to be the best. so future lies in the hard work . . . .

Bhumihar- history

There are so many theories of origin of Bhumihars. Starting from Lord Parashuram who was a Brahmin but had fighting spirit to chanakya who was a baackroom manager of Chanadragupta and maade him the kind and later emperor even though Chandragupta could not understand that, people give so many hypothesis. The fact is that no one knows. As they are the strongest people in compaarision to the surroundings, it has become fashion to discuss about them. but most of the time people go wrong way. I think problem is that it has been very vibrant community jumping from here to there and so the usual stream of ancestors which is seen in case of other communities is not seen.
There have been few real sensible discourse about origin of Bhumihars. People like Dr. Sachchidanand Sinha and Acharya Chatursen haave left behind enough intellectual work to reckon with. Even according to them a single theory is not possible. The few which sounds interesting anad possible are as follows-
(1) They are the Brahmins who helped the administration - slowly left the vedic rituals (i mean life dependent on that).
(2) They are the Brahmins who joined Budhdhism and when came back to the folds of Hinduism, were not accepted by the Brahmins as normal Brahmin.
(3) They are the Brahmins whose kings were aarrested/ killed by different invaders and they had no option but to go for farming
I think all the three reasons are possible.

why "Akbar" in my name?

I feel and percieve india's diversity till core of my heart. Among the rulers i feel only few people have even tried to be larger enough to over come the diversity across India. To start with probably it was lord Rama. After that probably it was Chankya and Mauryas who established the "Indian empire" for the first time. After that it could have been Shershah who could rule India only for 10 years. Following that it was "Akbar" the great. "Akbar" itself means great. After "Akbar" it was Gandhi. And afater Gandhi we are yet to get some one. I am trying to fill the vacancy.
Among all the above mentioned names "Akbar" sounds greatest to me as he belonged to a group which was relatively alien to the part of the land, was having very strong dictations regarading life . . . . . . so on and so forth. But "Akbar" the great could overcome all these and managed to keep the country intact for 63 long years . . . .

About myself

I am from Rampurvishun village of Samastipur District of Bihar in India. My parents are simple(mother a primary school teacher and father a small farmer). They always taught me of secular and independent thinking and decent behaviour- the so called components of good "sansakar".
As early as when I was in 4th standard, i thought of being a doctor, in 6th standar i felt that a physician is capable of just writing medicines but a surgeon can do surgery which is more difficult to learn; as well as can write medicine, and by 10th standard i understood that neurosurgeon has the most difficult job at hand! I decided to be a neurosurgeon! with god's grace, i am at the verge of becoming a Neurosurgeon. My childhood dream is to come true.
i had farely well social inclination as well due to my fasmily background. i have my own independent thought regarding every socio- politico- economico- psychological problems in this world. i hope and wish one day i will be able to help people in this world with my noble ideas.
