Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Respected Members, Namaste, I write this in response, to the mail, sent by Krishanaji to Jagannathji. Krsihnaji, sorry for this unsolicited mail. I could not hold myself, when I read your opinion about the state of India. I have the highest personal regards, and whom I hold in reverence; for the quality of your knowledge and intelligence. But Sir, forgive me, to differ with your esteemed opinion, about we Indians. I can very well relate to all that must have gone through your mind when you spoke of Globalisation with out Localisation. Those cheap Politics, on caste/ Water/Onions etc, the list could be end less. Sir, I would want to tell you that mere criticising is not going to be good enough. We all, have to take the leadership from the front. Not because, we want the India of our dreams to be so! But because, we are answerable to or future generations. Our elders, did it for us. Imagine, how many more centuries, would we have required to gain Independence, had Shri Magal Pandey, not first raised the flag to mutiny,had people like Shahid Bhagat Singh, Netaji, not sacrificed their lives. Their lives are not that cheap that we only commemorate their Birth and Death Anniversaries. They gave us the freedom, laid down theirs, so that we could live a peaceful life. Is it not then our responsibility to give peace and prosperity to the next generation, exactly in the form that they wished us to do. What are we going to leave for our children? Slavery to the International Community. This time in the name of Globalisation. (At the cost of the lives of 80% of we Indians who live a life deprived of practically all the pleasures of a cultured life) Merely, feeling for a cause, does not really suffice, one needs to have the conviction to stand up for a cause. You may argue, So what is to be done: Sir, my humble answer to this would be: Think that you are Huge Ship sailing in this Ocean of Corruption and Lust of Power. How does a ship sail in the ocean. It requires, basically 4 out the 5 things mentioned below: 1) The Propeller 2) The Rudder 3) Fuel to run the engines 4) The Navigator 5) The Captain Let us decide which part of this ship can we be, and try to sail it in the right direction; instead of letting it sink. I do not claim, that we will succeed. Let us at least, die, with a feeling of satisfaction of having given it a genuine try. Let us not abandon, this ship, before it has sunk; try to plug the holes in it. My apologies, if, this has touched you the other way.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 To all members of the group.... This is a highly illuminating and thoughtful article by Sri Misra. In India the old philosophy for national development was to borrow knowledge from western countries. As a physician i can recount my undergraduate medical training (1976-83)at Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, India and my later experience as a trainee general surgeon(1987-1990, Bangalore, India)before i entered research in Complementary and Alternative Medicine(original research published at Fordham University, New York, 2004). My early medical training was based on UK Medical curriculum and it still continues to form the core of undergraduate medical training in India. Homeopathy has undergone radical changes over the last two decades with medical colleges teaching Homeopathy more scientifically than in the past. The paradox is astounding. Even today General Surgeons from India opt for an FRCS from UK while UK is shutting out Indian doctors. Young medical graduates want to pass the USMLE to enter USA while visas are being shut down for indian doctors! Patients from all over the world throng to Sai Baba's ashram at Puttaparthi looking for answers to chronic health problems, while cost of healthcare in USA is skyrocketing and new diseases are being recognised. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, USA appears to unfold new ways to tackle chronic health problems. Where is the knowledge to tackle chronic problems coming from? Bangalore has suddenly become the center of world drama with several MNC's pledging billions of dollars investment in IT and BT. Is this what Bangalore needs? Perhaps yes. From a near point of view. It is benefitting a minority of educated Indians. What about the illiterate and uneducated rural communities of India? It is a blessing that many of them dont know English and so are spared the negative impact of Internet. I certainly agree with Krishna Gopal Misra. Intellectual property and knowledge management deserves closer attention of all sections of society all over the world. It may be worthwhile to produce a documentary film on Globalisation showing clearly opinions from different parts of the world to good effect!
