MY EXPERIENCE WITH KALAM

Hi friends, I am a doctor from India, now doing Phd in Cancer genetics in New York. I will say you my experiences in India and with the president,when I was doing my MBBS. I am from Karnataka,and there we have management seats. The percentage of donation seats for MD/MS were more than 80% and each college used to charge 45 to 80 lakhs for each seat and on paper they show only 2 to 5 lakh fees. One of the ex principal who was abused by our college Dr.R.R.Patil filed a case in the high court and high cour judges were Barucha and Saldana they were non corrupt and extremely honest,came to an conclusion only 5% donation seats are suffiecient to run the colleges successfully. And they passed an order for cancellation of donation seats and 95% should be merit they said. Than each private college in Karnataka and maharastra collected nearly 1 to 2 crore ruppees (like 1 lakh rupees each from nearly 100 -200 donation students) and totally I think nearly 40 to 50 crore rupees was bribed to supreme court judges each,and the worst thingh,the supreme court cancelled high courts order and siad that colleges can charge their own fees,not only that it went ahead and said that colleges can conduct their own entrance and interviews. We were all dismayed and we nearly 5000 merit students wrote to the so called honourable President,Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Sonia Gandhi but with no response from them. One of my friend who stood 3rd for state amongst 5000 doctors was asked in interview can he pay 18 lakh rupees fees and he was poor so he was not choosen. I had personally written to president,had Gone to Delhi but there were no response. Now I relize that even the presidents post in India is not free from corruption and I decided to US entrance in that I got 99 percentile and American Government gave me 180,000 $ scholarship and I am here and I enjoy America. When I think back and see the concept of slavery is imbibed in Indians right from when they are students.We teach students to call teachers as SIR ( Stupid Indian Rogues ). And theses students go ahead to become slaves who dont have guts to question the injustice done to them and society. If A.P.J Kalam is said to be great,it does not mean he is infallible.Every human being is infallible. Try to judge Kalam by his actions. My experience with him is that he may be a great scientist,but he has not shown the same as the president.And each person may have his own good and bad opinion about him and you are free. In Afzals case we Indians have a right to question the delay exhibited by him.In USA my professors from John Hopkins and Harward told me never to call them as Sir,they used to make me call them by their names. And professors are really very decent here in USA. They maintain the dignity of woman. In India in Jawaharlal nehru medical college,Belgaum,there was a girl,her HIV status came false positive and she was previously forced to have sex with nearly 18 professors. Initially college dismissed her but no actions were taken agfainst professors. And previous Gynaec HOD,used to force post graduates to arrange for prostitutes and he used to force even good looking PGs females to have sex,and one female post graduate just slapped him and she had to leave the course.And the professor was awarded B.C.ROY award by Indian Government. When I was doing residency in Orthopaedics,one of my professor Dr.Motimath used to demand 2to 3 lakh ruppes from students for signing thesis and one of college had written an annonymous letter,but the management gave him a clean chit. My only humble advise to president is THERE IS NO NEED OF HIM TO IGNITE YOUNG BRAINS,BUT JUST SEE TO IT THEY ARE NOT DAMPENED. MAKE A RULE WHERE STUDENTS CAN GRADE THEIR PROFESSORS, AND LET THE GRADING BE USING INTERNET AND LET THE STUDENTS CHOOSE THE PROFESSORS PROMOTION AND OTHER THINGS.One thingh we Inians need to remember is "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy." Abraham Lincoln and than only our India will truly develop. Jai Hind IF REDIFF FINDS THIS AS ABUSIVE THEY CAN DELETE THIS MESSAGE.BUT FACTS ARE BITTER
