Why is Thai health care so good? - "In 1972 the government launched a programme that required medical graduates to spend the first three years of their careers in villages. This led to a “golden generation” of doctors, says Eduardo Banzon of the Asian Development Bank" —Is there an India equivalent like this?

Never forget: "In the face of calamity, Mr Modi froze. From April 25, after he called off the Kumbh and his West Bengal rallies, Mr Modi disappeared. He made no public appearance for 20 days. The Prime Minister of India fled the field when his people needed the government most. This is not history from 1526, this happened to us just three years ago and must not be forgotten".

Biographer on Vajpayee's Life, From Helping Lay Ground For Gandhi Killing To His Adultery, Lovechild

YouTube

The funniest bit about Vajpayee in the book is about the myth that Nehru marked him out early as a future prime minister. The author states that Nehru found the young Vajpayee to be highly offensive and his views on Kashmir to be highly objectionable, liable to cause international diplomatic embarrassment to India. This bit was probably made up in the 1990s by the RSS to make Vajpayee more palatable.

Worrying trend in India is that urban educated and rich elite are totally radicalized and are captive votebank of BJP. BJP only loses if their economic policies are severely hurting agriculturists and poor.
