Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Mail from AIIMS student Dear friends please spend some time to read this. U can make a difference. As u all guys know that there have been lots of protests going on against the raise in reservations. All of us struggle for months and years to make our dreams come true; No body in the government is bothered about that. This new policy of govt ll be a major road block in the development of our nation and creation of a caste free society. I want to share some developments occurring here with respect to this issue. About 2 weeks back the Students Union (SU) of AIIMS (UGs and Interns) started the protests. They held peaceful march. Their main demand was to meet Honbl. Arjun Singh and to express their concern regarding the hike in reservations. What they got in return. Water canons, tear gas shells and Lathis. Some of the interns who were beaten were my friends and i could see their injury marks. Worse, some were girls. Sad isn't it? Well next few days due to their constant struggle they could get to meet Dr Arjun Singh. No positive response was obtained. He however promised that before sending the bill to cabinet, he would inform the SU. The students continued to boycott their classes. Other medical colleges of Delhi also joined. We Resident Doctors of AIIMS however were not actively participating. We wore black badges and attended few rallies. 12 th May saw a new beginning. Our medical students were brutally assaulted by Delhi police. Injured were brought to AIIMS. Fracture hand bone, head injury, blunt trauma abdomen with intra-abdominal bleed; > 300 students were manhandled including girls, stuffed in buses and taken to police station. I remember the dialogue from RDB. This incident will prove to be a final nail in coffin for our Congress Govt . At around 3 pm the Resident Doctors Association (RDA) of AIIMS announced an indefinite strike. All Junior Residents (Acad or Non-acad) & Senior Residents boycotted. Protest rally was organized that day. 13 th may was the worst day in the history of our Indian Independence and so called Democracy. Medical Students of Mumbai were beaten like animals. Infact animals also are never treated like this. Every body would have witness the brutalities of the Mumbai Police .17 - 18 year old medical students were beaten up. Future of our country treated like this? And these are the same Police Men who come to our OPD and ask for preferential treatment. Shame on them. And listen to what Bhujbal said on TV. I thought we need a real RDB now. This incident triggered the suppressed fire in each and every individual. We at AIIMS went on INDEFINITE HUNGER STRIKE from 14 th morning joined by medical students from MAMC Delhi, Lady Harding, RML Hosp, Rohtak Medical College. Slowly the fire spread to different states of our country. You know what happened in Blore. Calcutta, Orissa, Chattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala boiled in protests. Students of Delhi University (BSc BCom...) also joined the strike The hunger strike in AIIMS continues. More than 100 students and residents are sitting in the heat since 14 th morning just on plain water. Believe me we slept in the open last night empty stomach. Its only when rain started pouring we had go inside the Audi and slept there. The IMA has announced complete medical bandh today (15 Th may). Doctors from all over Delhi have come to AIIMS and are holding protests. IITs and IIMs have joined the strike. Even patients and their attendees were of full support towards this cause. One man said," My father is admitted in NS department and is fighting for his life and death, but i declare that I have no objection with ur strike. I support your movement and the cause for which u re fighting. Our country needed this." All of us know what is right and what is wrong. Having said that i feel that each one of us should follow our conscience. I have written this message because i felt there are many of who might not be aware of the exact situation. I request each one of u to please forward this to all your friends, Medicos or Non-medicos. Every common man needs to be aware of the injustice and should be involved in this effort. This Movement will be a revolution in our independent country and will be the most significant event after the British Rule. It ll be the cause for the rewriting of Indian Constitution where just and meritorious people are not singled out and put to taste the adversities and someone else enjoys the benefit . The government cannot hide its inadequacies in providing equal opportunities to the under privileged in rural areas by increasing the reservations. They have ruled the country for so many decades and if in this time they are not able to provide equality in primary and secondary education for Indian citizens they cannot mask their failure by providing reservations at each and every level. It's ridiculous. The whole issue of reservations was a political gimmick of the present govt to garner votes. Its time that things are not taken for granted by any one. Let it be a senior minister police or anyone else. Whole of our nation needs to get aware of the amount of hard work and sacrifice we put to achieve our dreams. We should not allow anyone to make a mockery of our struggle in future. Thank U Friends.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Surya ji Sometimes, purpose is larger than the ethics; especially if an act is not harming (compared to the purpose, it can achieve). You mean to say, anti reservation movement is dividng the country. You must be joiking. It is reservation which is dividing the nation. People must learn to compete on merit, just like a human being must strive towards god. If the movement can educate through as many forums, where Indian nationals are participating - it is worth it. Afterall, anti reservation movement wants greater participation from rationalized society. I presume, we astrologers are rational ones; are not we? We can always stick to astrology, but any serious social / national issue precedes the routine discussions - just like spirituality (or lessons of spirituality) over astrology. regards / Prafulla Gang People may not remember what you did for them, or even what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel. > > suryamight (AT) (DOT) co.in > Sun, 11 Jun 2006 09:32:24 +0100 (BST) > > Re: Mail from AIIMS student:PLS STOP IT > > PLS STOP IT > THIS IS A GROUP DEDICATED TO ASTROLOGICAL DISCUSSION > DONT MISUSE IT TO SPREAD COMMUNAL HATREAD& FALSE NEWS > The agitating medical students themselves have cleared that such a news > is false&no student had such a fate. > There are thousands of other groups in to spread yor ideas > Pls dont make this group malicious > Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya: > Surya > > hetuls <hetuls > wrote: > Mail from AIIMS student > > Dear friends please spend some time to read this.
