The other view on the US Supreme Court ruling rejecting gun control

There were shots of elation fired after the US Federal Court acknowledged an individual’s gun ownership right in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. The Federal Court observed that the 2nd Amendment’s text guards an individual’s right, not just a group right that applies merely to affiliates of state militias.

Though many blocks have criticised this court ruling (including this publication’s Scrutiny section), the fact is that this in no way proves the establishment is anti gun control. The verdict of the Federal Court was clearly fractured where the bench of 9 judges gave a 5:4 split ruling, clearly along ideological lines. Moreover, the court also observed that all constitutional rights including the most fundamental rights are open to limitations of sorts and have to yield to restrictions in order to keep up a methodical and secure society. The ruling in no way means that one would now see a trigger-happy population shooting their mouths and guns off! Residents would still have to keep their firearms disabled and unloaded at almost all times – a move that hasn’t been received well by the pro gun lobby.

Even Steven Shapiro of the American Civil Liberties Union, that played an important role in facilitating the suit, confirmed to B&E, “We are still trying to figure out the characteristic of this court. Last fall, it initiated an antagonistic assault on nucleus doctrine affecting race and abortion issues. This year too, their decisions have not been received well.” It’s quite clear that neither the pro nor the anti gun control lobby seems to be satisfied with the judgement! One wonders then finally who won?

Apex court reinstates a top doctor and lays down the ground rules

No minister is bigger than the court. And it has just been confirmed. The Supreme Court last week delivered Health Minister, Anbumani Ramadoss a rap on the knuckles for trying to push the controversial amendment to Section 11 of the AIIMS Act, 2007; a piece of legislation aimed at forcibly removing AIIMS Director, P. Venugopal, who was appointed for a five-year term in July 2003.

The Supreme Court, which has ordered the reinstatement of AIIMS Director, termed the Centre's controversial Act as "naked discrimination" and "one man legislation," which prematurely retired the eminent cardiologist. The government, however, claimed that “malice could not be attributed to Parliament,” as it was merely trying to clarify the murky business of appointing directors by making a formal statute to govern selection. Venugopal’s court victory is the latest instalment in the bitter wrangle for power over AIIMS.

‘‘It is not a setback for me. It was not my decision, but that of the UPA government, which was even approved by Parliament,’’ said Ramadoss, who has been seen as leveraging his status as the representative of a UPA constituent to frequently engage in unilateralism. The Court’s observations will certainly prove to be a dampener for other Central ministers with similar ambitions.

The judicial blow naturally triggered demands for the minister’s resignation by the opposition BJP as well as AIIMS faculty. However, Ramadoss, leader of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founded by his father S. Ramadoss, has refused. Meanwhile, with just two months to go before he superannuates from AIIMS, Venugopal may soon start a super-specialty hospital in a joint venture.

Sell the house honey, I have a cold, most private hospital Indian doctors prescribe numerous medical tests,

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

There’s only so much that money can buy, for everything else, you have...

It’s no more a hidden fact that around 40% of Indians, who live below the poverty line, cannot afford any kind of medical expense. Most Indians can anyway ill afford the high consulting fees, medicine cost and various hi-profile medical tests. A simple angiography to test artery blockage costs anywhere between Rs. 14,000 to Rs.1,25,000 depending on the hospital one goes to (most government hospitals do it for free, but with huge waiting lists). In their urge to make more money, most private hospital Indian doctors prescribe numerous medical tests, many clearly not required. Of course, the health ministry is in the process of framing clinical guidelines for doctors.

The guidelines will be framed after discussion with various stakeholders and will lay down suggestions for treatment, tests and medication. It is claimed that doctors will be free to choose their course of medication, but if the same is wrong, then doctors will be answerable. Sadly, not only can negligence and wrong treatment be easily handled by shrewd doctors who sign up contracts with patients before treatment begins, but worse is that these guidelines will be first implemented on public hospitals, and then on private ones. This is not to say that public hospital doctors are more efficient than private ones, but to implore that guidelines be applicable on all doctors, private or public, from day one!

Asia Pacific of Longines, which has roped in the Mistress of Spices as its brand ambassador.

Tourism is yet another case in point, where package tours to Venice, Switzerland & Paris are passé. Sahara Pariwar recently launched ‘Paradiso 101 Millionaire holidays’, India’s first customised luxury holidays. Subrata Roy, Sahara, Managing Worker & Chairman, Sahara India Pariwar, said, “We at Sahara India Pariwar wanted to invest in a concept that would be an out-of-world experience for the global Indian.” Paradiso’s offering ranges from family vacations to high level corporate gatherings and even to lavish weddings in villas or islands abroad. They are all set to offer a $46,000 per night on Necker Island, Richard Branson’s 74 acre private paradise in British Virgin Islands, Red Ferrari tour in Italy, South Africa’s Blue Train ride, stay at Blancaneaux Lodge owned by Francis Ford Coppola and much more! And the number of extravagant items on India’s wish list keeps increasing by the day.

the ground rules...

Indigenisation is identified by the players as critically important even in this segment. Starting from the brand ambassador to your product, everything needs to be having an indigenous Indian touch. “Our brand ambassador should be very globally accepted fashion icon and at the same time to promote it in Indian fashion, s/he has to be an Indian face & so Aishwarya,” states Claude Jaunim, Regional Manager, Asia Pacific of Longines, which has roped in the Mistress of Spices as its brand ambassador. In the same league, Swiss brand, Xylys, is banking on Mr. Iyer alias Rahul Bose & Tag Heur is counting on King Khan to do the wonders. Reasons Ravi Thakran, President, Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), which owns Tag Heur, on the need for indigenisation, “Even if it’s a global luxury brand, you need to have a strong Indian brand ambassador, who’s recognised as fashion icon and at the same time, a part of your product portfolio should keep in mind the Indian market.”
