  • Tell me what sort of quality education you would get if your university class had increased by 2/3rd in size?

    this is a valid point, but it’s not a point i see junior doctors striking for. it’s not like the quality of education that a country offers after they’ve graduated would weigh so heavily on their minds.

    occam’s razor applies here. they are worried that there will suddenly be an influx of new doctors that will reduce their own earning capacity.

    your point on expanding facilities first won’t help end the strike since it doesn’t address the core problem. the government should simply look to sneakily boil the frog here (and this is only because being the last in a list of doctor:patient ratio is never a good thing).





  • i don’t see how this is going to play out in the long term, though. the right wing fervour in the country has been stoked primarily by this “mosque x temple issue”, and modi’s party has actually ridden this horse through the democratic process over the last three decades to “success” – yes, make no mistake, democracy has not failed in india. the majority of voters are really that fervent in their championing of “hindutva”.

    but with the denouement of this chapter, they will no longer have the temple as a north star. they will no longer have this major unifying factor. this, in a way, is terrifying simply because the go-to fallback of this government to rally their voters into line is aggression towards pakistan.

    with both countries pointing nuclear warheads at each other, this could have severe repercussions for the region and the world at large.
