HEALTH CARE
" Two traditional medicine practices include ayurvedic (meaning science of life) system, which deals with causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment based on all aspects of well-being (mental, physical, and spiritual), and the unani (so-called Galenic medicine) herbal medical practice. A vaidya is a practitioner of the ayurvedic tradition, and a hakim (Arabic for a Muslim physician) is a practitioner of the unani tradition. These professions are frequently hereditary. A variety of institutions offer training in indigenous medical practice. Only in the late 1970s did official health policy refer to any form of integration between Western-oriented medical personnel and indigenous medical practitioners." (cited from indianchild.com)
Sense 1970 India has steadily grown to become one of the leading countries with reliable health care.
We simply can not mention politics without talking about Gandhi. One of the most globally influential activists and philosopher. He lead non violent reformations to stand against tyranny. Rightfully so, India's political system does not expect candidates running for positions to have a squeaky clean reputation. In 2004 alone 540 officials elected to Parliament had a criminal record. Top it off Abu Salem who is solely responsible for plotting and murdering hundreds of people in the blast of Mumbai, decided to compete to be a proper candidate to rule over India. The judicial system looks nothing short of dysfunctional, but its not to say India is not a strong country.
Sense 1947 JawaharLal Nehru who finished his long running prime minster duties the economic state of India has really improved. Nutrition being one of the most important things that became better. Welfare of India's people really improved with better means of work and food.
Negative aspects of politics are ran from the inequality between the rich and the poor. Along side corruption of political leaders who seek to be tyrants rather then fathers of the nation. Because of the extreme differences in economic standing between people, other countries look down to India and forget the extreme technological advancements.
RURAL TRIBAL INDIA
- "In recent times, two events in Orissa’s tribal belt have made the headlines. The first is the decision to deny Vedanta Alumina an environmental clearance to mine bauxite in Lanjhigarh and the Niyamgiri hills, which had become a flash point for tribal resistance against corporate penetration of natural resources. The second was signified by Rahul Gandhi’s now famous assertion that though the denial of permission to Vedanta was a result of successful resistance by the people, it was he who had given them a voice in Delhiafter he had first visited them in 2008.
- Since the 1940s, rightwing forces led by the RSS have penetrated these areas and established a network of social welfare and political organisations. Such organisations, have not only yielded a strong network of political activists and organisations, but they have also ensured that repeated political defeats of the congress since the late 1980s have left it bereft of any tribal leadership. While this is distinctly evident in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, in Jharkhand the Congress has been relying on repressive central rule on the one hand, and the leadership of tribal parties like JMM on the other hand for its political survival.
- while the Congress attempts to recover lost ground in the tribal heartland, it is also sparing no effort to liberalise environmental regulation and facilitate the introduction of corporate capital in its own states.The political maneuvering by Rahul Gandhi and his party has been necessitated by its own policies that have basically concentrated on the more intense exploitation of natural resources by private players."
