India’s Medical Tourism Push Has a Doctor Problem | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal’s target of 10 million medical tourists a year won’t create new capacity in Indian healthcare. It will pull capacity out of a public system that’s already short on it. That’s not really an opinion. It’s just arithmetic that nobody in the room that day wanted to say out loud. Start with what’s actually scarce. India spends 1.9% of GDP on public health, according to the 2023-24 Economic Survey. That’s still below the 2.5% target the government set for it
Whataboutery: The Slow Poisoning of Indian Politics | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Watch any Indian news debate the evening after a riot, a bank fraud, or a leaked video, and notice what doesn’t happen. Nobody says the act was justified. Nobody says it was wrong, here’s why it happened, here’s what we’re doing about it. The spokesperson does something else. The rationality goes down the drain.

They poked into the straw with sticks and found him in it. “Are you still fasting?” asked the overseer, “when on earth do you mean to stop?” “Forgive me, everybody,” whispered the hunger artist; only the overseer, who had his ear to the ba
Medicalisation as Depoliticisation in the Sonam Wangchuk Case | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the morning of the twenty-first day, they brought him in at 7:40 am. The hospital stated that he was conscious, his pulse and oxygen levels stable. But the medical ‘jargons’ differed. A mild acidosis, potassium running low, blood sugar at 78. Twenty days [as of yesterday] without solid food will do that to a body. Sonam Wangchuk had spent three weeks starving himself with one purpose, with the demand of the education minister’s resignation. And somewhere between the protest site and the hospi
