Though the Medical Tourism was there since long, Visa problem was strict. Now these problems will nit be there. The Government has decided to simplify Visa problems as Medical tourism is great revenue generator.

A Bit of forethought will go a long way. Long ago I insured my children in Children growth fund. It certainly helped me in attending to my children's education

With galloping costs of both primary and higher education, it is surely advisable for parents to plan future financial requirements today esp thru insurance policies.

Patients from Afghanistan and few Arab and African countries are already visiting India for medical treatments because better faciities exist here. A large number of NRI's also get themselves medically attended when they visit their near and dear ones because of the low cost they incur. It is very common to see Indians when they get an immigration visa get themselves medically treated before departing the country. Because of good doctors (who have chosen to stay back) and good facilities and relatively cheaper cost increasing number of third world patients are visitig India since many years now.

@Usha the issue is not about RSS philosophy and its activities. The issue is its backseat driving the elected BJP government. If RSS wants the country to follow its agenda it should enter the elections on its own and let people decide. Making BJP ask votes on development and then when people give it a majority , RSS tries to push the govt. to follow its agenda is undemocratic and cheating the peoples mandate. It is this dubious act which is opposed by vast majority of people. Let it enter the elections and if it wins there will be no opposition. And the oldest party for all its faults was elected by the people to govern, it did not make back door entry. I agree with you that RSS is champion of Hinduism but let it not dabble in politics by keeping BJP in front.

vijay replied to the topic Writers returning their awards - what do they hope to achieve?.
The writers who have returned their awards have primarily done so because the Sahitya Academy has not taken up the issue of the death of few writers at the hands of hardline groups opposed to their ideas. It is very surprising why the govt and BJP and RSS are reacting so strongly to this act of the writers. Barring one or two rest all have said they are not returning it because of Modi or his govt. actions. Yet the BJP spokesmen and few Ministers have jumped in as if they are under attack. Some forum members have also got tied up in liking unrelated but sad events the past with the present and are venting their feelings. It is an issue between the Academy and the writers. The only relevant issues raised are regarding Satanic verses and Taslima when writers remained mute. I have a strong feeling that because the first returnee was Nayantara Sehgal from the Nehru clan and then the rest followed. Anything with Nehru touch is simply unpalatable to the present ruling set up and thus they jumped in. But so have so many others for no rhyme or reason. Let the writers settle it with their Academy.

There was one unique quality in Smita Patil. She had sixth sense. In those days, the shooting for Amitabh's Coolie was going on.One day he received a call at he dead of the night from Smita. The question she asked was, "Are you alright ?" Amitabh was amazed at Smita's question. The next day, during shooting, Amitabh met with an accident. Amitabh while recalling this incident was amazed at Smita's Sixth sense
Her sixth sense was once again proved when she told Poonam Dhillon that she was going to die at thirty one

It has always been the case and this is precisely why Hindus are revolting now...The root cause is the political class which has led the country to this situation and now they blame saffron party and RSS just to justify their communal feelings...In Mangalore we had the worst ever communal riots at a place called Suratkal. There was a minor incident and it was amicably settled by the Police and the religious leaders from both sides when one of the very prominent leaders who is in power here , interfered and openly incited the minority and the police and the violence that spread after that took many lives from all religious communities and lasted for more than a month when we had curfew ..

The incident that happened in a Meerut village had certainly Political motive. Their reasons are Dadri lynching. Now what these politicians have got to say after this communal riot wherein, Muslim s killed Hindus in Meerut village ?

Pashant is a Bajran dal activist. and a habitual law offender. Police commissioner said that others who were arrested were Md. Hanif, Md. Iliyas, Ibrahim Iliyas and Abdul Rashid.. All of them were involved in the execution of the crime. Police refused to say more as it was the part of the investigation.

Smitha, Shabana and Deepti Naval were all part of the meaningful cinema of the seventies , it also included artistes like Naseeruddin Shah, Anant Nag , Om Puri,Farooque Sheikh, Amol Palekar , even Amrish Puri who started his career with a film called Kaadu ( forest) in kannada, which won many awards . This was also called Parallel cinema movement , with Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen, Tapan Sinha, Bimal Roy and some film makers from other parts..They lacked funds because there were not many takers but in the sixties they were given funds by the government and seventies saw a boom in such artistic and realistic films..Many directors like Gulzar, Shyam benegal , Mahesh Bhatt and Govind Nihlani came up with some beautiful films during that period. Actresses like Smitha, Shabana ,Deepti and even Supriya Pathak were lucky to be part of that movement which is all but dead now..
Add Ketan Mehta too who directed Smita Patil in Bhavani Bhavai and Mirch Masala, both of which showcase Smita Patil's talent very perfectly! His another film Holi, although Smita did not act in it, is also a great movie. Coming to Smita, if you can watch Marathi film Umbartha , which means the the threshold, the movie has English subtitles too. The movie explores how a woman has to struggle to find her place in society outside her home, her lead co-star was Girish Karnad, an excellent movie! This is one movie that No fan of Smita Patil must ever miss. And the music by Hridaynath mangeshkar, Lata's voice are only too suiting to Smita's acting prowess.
Yes Kalyani, I have seen both Mirch Masala and Subah , which was Umbartha in hindi...In fact I have a video of it. I have heard about Bhavani Bhavani and Holi...would love to watch it !

Yes of course this is a major issue here, Prashant was not a model citizen , getting involved in petty scuffles and mob troubles and he was killed in broad day light and the entire city of Moodbidri which is about 30 kms from Mangalore closed down for 2 days because of the way it was handle by the police..Now a few people have been arrested after a lot of pressure !
