Urgent need to bring RERA-like law for private hospital managements.
We blame doctors — many of whom are corrupt or inept. But real leeches are managements, who treat patients simply as revenue numbers.
Observed things at AMRI, Kolkata, during my father’s hospitalisation. 1/n 🧵 Insiders across hospitals say that there are hospital managements hold regular meetings to set doctors revenue targets.
A patient is milked to the hilt of his/her insurance amount or perceived capacity to pay.
My dad got released only when his insurance cap was over. 2/n

“Recruiting more members and giving them arms training, including the use of rods, swords and other weapons. For this one needs to repeatedly remind the M community of its grievances and establish grievances where there is none.”
~ from #PFI ‘IndIa Vision 2047’ document. [1] “If we look into history of Islam, M were always in minority. For victory we don’t need a majority. #PFI is confident that even if 10% of total M population rally behind it, PFI would subjugate the coward majority to their knees and bring back the glory of Islam in India.” [2]

The time has come.
Get out of your comfort zones. Find out ways you can defend this civilisation and help people who are seriously defending it.
Don’t just sit back and outrage. Start doing your bit. Organise. #Udaipur * Look beyond your narrow, selfish personal lives at what’s happening in nation, civilisation.
* Take helicopter view of history to understand it better.
* Identify exact cause, place you want to be involved in. Start your own, or identify genuine orgs, people. [contd]

A thread on the #Bengal situation right now.
In Malda, defiant Hindus allege that local police officials are pressuring them to get converted to Islam.
In Murshidabad, bombs were hurled on a Hari Naam Sankirtan rally.
Malda: 52% Muslim
Murshidabad: 67% Muslim
[1] Why was the Hari Naam Sankirtan yatra allegedly stopped, bombed hurled, shots fired?
Apparently objection was raised because it was passing through a “Muslim area”. We have seen how overground jihad enablers in media and social media are trying to normalise that term. #Bengal

I marvel at the dishonesty of those who say Lord Ram is a north Indian god alien to #Bengal culture. I will place some facts. You judge.
* Bengal’s biggest spiritual guru Gadadhar Chattopadhyay takes the name Ramkrishna Paramhansa.
* Iconic reformer: Ram Mohan Roy.
[Contd] * Bengal’s most famous sculptor: Ramkinkar Baij.
* Ramrajatala is in Howrah. Has a 300-year-old Ram temple built by zamindar Ayodhya Ram Choudhury where local worship the deity for 3 months every year.
* Serampore or Srirampur is one of the oldest cities. #Ram #Bengal

January 12, 1934. Exactly 88 years ago.
British hanged Mastar-da Surya Sen, then 39, for raiding the Chittagong armoury.
Before the hanging, they plucked out his nails. They also hammered off all his teeth to stop him from singing Vande Mataram.
Always sing that song with pride. Mastar-da Surya Sen gave up teaching to form ‘Indian Republican Army’ in 1929 with young revolutionaries. He taught them swimming, rowing, climbing, stick fight, throwing knives, boxing, making arms and ammo. Netaji Subhash Bose made him gen secy of Chittagong district Congress.

While CAA, 370, NEC, Ram Mandir have been huge wins, Hindus should now address #caste. We have never been scared of introspection, reform.
If identity/occupation based on birth was unjust then, it is downright ludicrous now.
Let’s not leave room for others to divide us.
[thread] There’s an intellectual argument that caste pride stopped Hindus from being mass-converted, but then we lost half of Bharat, namely AfPak, B’desh, NE and Kashmir nearly. It doesn’t wash.
Also, jati-varna being a theoretical matrix of work long descended into birth-bound tyranny.

Almost all of Bollywood cosy club posted wishes on Eid. Absolutely fine.
But none of them posted wishes on Ram Mandir bhoomi pujan, biggest event of Hindu faith in centuries.
None of our cricket stars posted a single greeting either.
These are the men and women we worship. One honorable exception.

Chronology samajhiye.
From the time #COVID19 broke out, one wondered how would the world's sickest, most violent and regressive minds not use a highly contagious pandemic to wage #CoronaJihad on kafirs.
* Soon, videos like this one started emerging.
[Contd] * Then came a spate of TikTok videos urging co-religionists to throw away #coronavirus masks, rely on skullcaps.
* The vids seemed smoothly coordinated, came by dozens. We laughed them off as #COVIDIOTS.
* There were also videos urging to defy Modi's call for social distancing.

Of all the Islamist murders, the murder of childhood is perhaps the most brutal and tragic. A short thread of child #jihad videos, starting with the most recent one.
#MuhammadForAll

Then of course the one in which Pakistan used its cherubic, innocent kids to deliver the message of hate to India and Hindus. #MuhammadForAll

Quran 9.5: When sacred months have passed, kill polytheists wherever you find them. Capture them, besiege them, sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, establish prayer and give zakah, let them go on their way. Indeed, Allah is forgiving and merciful. Quran 9.29:
Fight those who don’t believe in Allah or in the Last Day, don’t consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful, don’t adopt Religion of Truth from those who were given the Scripture — [fight] until they give jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
