i glanced at these topics in readers' digest, and yes, it was
gratuitous to use an indian doctor. (incidentally, this is exactly
like saying all SC/ST doctors are incompetent, but i wont go down that
path)>
interesting tibdit about the huge shortage of nurses. no wonder
nursing colleges are coming up like mushrooms in kerala. one of
india's biggest exports: kerala christist nurses. a major source of
foreign exchange. i suspect that there are 1 million of these women
(and increasingly men too) who send back on average 10,000 dollars a
year to india, ie. 10 billion dollars.

The article is entitled, "Fatal Hospital Mistakes" and it clearly
shows an Indian doctor. Wow, I guess they weren't able to find a white
doctor anywhere! That's because they were all out that day. The
implication for the more simple-minded and gullible populace is that
Indian doctors are clearly incompetent and you only go to them if you
want to risk your life...
I guess the attacks will now be ever so subtle...ALL Indians of all
stripes better be careful. They will divide us along communal lines
then we'll be easy to pick off. This is definitely the plan. If they
can divide us along religion, state, language, etc. we're sitting
ducks. Do we want to be humiliated like this forever? We really need
to set aside our differences. They are using Sonia Gandhi Maino to
bring down the Indian software industry, they are using Muslims to
attack Hindus, Hindus to Attack Muslims, Christians and Hindus to
attack each other, Tamils to hate Telegus....we are totally playing
into their hands again. Why are we so stupid?
Would the Indian press EVER show a picture of a white doctor and
entitle the article--"Fatal Hospital Mistakes"? I doubt it. We had
better start being more united like they are. We must set aside our
differences.

Rajeev, I think you and the contributor are over-reacting to this. Nowhere in the article does it name an Indian name. In this case it is "Craig Murray" which does not even sound like an Indian Chrsitist last name. Even if it is "name changed" to protect identities, they could just as easily have used a similar name to denote ethnicity. Also, unless there are more pictures of the said doctor in the article, the person can be just as easily of Mexican or Middle-Eastern origin. Not worth raising hell for, at least IMHO. As for why not a white person in Indian mags? First, yes, Indian magazines are spineless, and second, to be fair, brown people are more represented in the general population of the US, than are white people in India. I think the reputation of Indians in the medical community is strong enough that they dont have to worry about such slimy attacks.
