    Corporatization of Healthcare Undermines Public Health | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The remarkable advances in evidence-based modern medicine have made life easier, reduced mortality and increased longevity. To ensure that these benefits reach all citizens, it is imperative that the State takes responsibility for providing healthcare to everyone. From the immediate post-Independence period until the early 1980s, the State was the primary provider of healthcare, although small-scale private practice, single-person clinics and charitable hospitals also played an important role.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

While identifying a person by family or gotra may serve a social purpose, but using caste to establish a hierarchy creates deep and divisive inequalities. The caste system was codified in the Manu smriti, which divided society into four varnas and institutionalized graded inequality. Caste was also closely li
