Indian Opinion

Mukesh Devrari India is facing a severe health crisis, not due to coronavirus, but in general due to the neglect of the healthcare sector for generations by the various union and state government since independence in 1947. Over the years, governments’ have given de facto acceptance to the idea that universal healthcare is not possible in India. So, those who cannot afford healthcare should die as human society is also akin to a jungle where only fit has a right to survive.

More than that it is a cross-application of the same set logical analysis which makes everything difficult. Even dialectics has gone wayward. More than a collision of new ideas with the old one, it is becoming reverse. Old beliefs powered by new enthusiasm and sense of loss colliding with the new ones, perhaps also doing fairly well.   Bertrand Russell taught us that human beings must allow themselves to draw conclusions and inference based on facts. Human beings must not allow subjective notions, privileges and prior held ideas to colour the truth and justify their wrongs. It seems fairly a simple line. Reality is so complex that humans start from the very point of their practices. First humans act, then they look for the reason, not the other way round. Logic innately never leads huma...
