by Ajay Sharma on Oct 24, 2006 01:13 AM

The time has come for the indian public to ask for the
reply from these politicians that the common man is
starving and struggling for there lives with the
epidemics and they are spreading the poison of castisum in the society.

kala azar not a disease of dalit
by dewendra singh on Oct 23, 2006 11:13 PM

Kalazar is not a disease of dalits i.e.,mushar.what is mind set of our people that also link a disease to lower casts.it is disease cause by the bitting of sand fly (Phlebotomus aregentipes).The sand fly is vector of a protozia, Leishmania donovani.The spreds through the bitting of sand fly.The fly does't defferentiates a man to which cast it is going to bite.As i notice that near about 100 patient have been digonized with kalazar, not with in from lower cast. So all of above it is good that wb and Gates foundation joins to eradication of the disease.We hope that the people will soon be safe from this disease.

Indians have no sense of SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
by manjula saxena on Oct 23, 2006 09:30 PM

a person from a far off continent has the heart to loosen his purse strings for a social cause in our country.off and on we hear scores of indians being added to to RICH LIST CATEGORY.however,we do not hear about the magnaminity of these scores of indians loosening their purse strings for charitable works.even otherwise,i notice that people,in general,are STINGY when it comes to donating for the social cause.i have tried many times to influence others to donate,but i come across only flimsy excuses from them.though i am a salaried person,i try in my own small way to do my bit for the community.wish i were in the shoes of Bill Gates here in india- i would have really worked hard to do my bit both financially and otherwise for various social causes.

Gates with Bihar against fever
by Manishi Mani on Oct 23, 2006 09:22 PM

Problem of kalazar fever is not new for Bihar.It is not known outside Bihar is mainly due to least coverage given by media.It is media which don't give priorities to Bihar. Ofcourse they always print bad news of Bihar.
Again I don't agree Kalazar is poorman's desease.Attention is welcomed but i fear again money will go in those hands who are considered best in this desease.how much former health minister has done for Bihar is well known to residents of Bihar.
As a Bihari I would like suggest Bill Gates foundation real work should be done and money should be utilised properly.
thanks

Arise, Awake - Indian Govt !
by Rajib Kumar on Oct 23, 2006 03:36 PM

This is high time for Indian Govt. to set aside all the quota and other least importance issues and concentrate on very root problems by which the common citizen mainly poors are affected. We just can't wait for the foreign fund to pour to erradicate these very engrossed problems of Indians.

disease also needs reservation...
by Manoj Gupta on Oct 23, 2006 02:52 PM  | Hide replies

Who says GOD have not differentiate among the people based on the caste....
"..The main victims of this disease belong to poor Dalit castes, like Musahars, and backward castes..."

see now the disease is choosing the people based on the caste and not because of the environment surrounding there locality etc etc.. . If you belong to upper caste, then there is no need to get panic from kala azar. This will not happen to you.
