TODAY IS NATIONAL DAY OF QUALITY CONTROL IN CANCER CARE;
Impact of Cancer and its eradication in India

Cancer, experts say, is likely to emerge as the largest killer in India by 2020 if present trend continues .It is estimated that there are approximately 2-2.5 million cases of cancer in the country at any given time. Data from population-based registries under National Cancer Registry Programme indicate that the vulnerable sites of cancer are oral cavity, lungs, esophagus and stomach amongst men and cervix, breast and oral cavity amongst women. World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that 91 per cent of oral cancers in South-East Asia are directly attributable to the use of tobacco and this is the leading cause of oral cavity and lung cancer in India .
The cancer statistics demonstrate that cancers frequently observed in India are lifestyle dependent, low literacy rates with offending factors such as tobacco usage, low socio-economic status, and multiple pregnancies and poor sexual hygiene . These factors are closely related to the population living in rural surroundings and they are the targets for cancer prevention. It is evident that most common cancers are largely preventable. But, it is very difficult for these patients to achieve a cure and they are always treated by palliative care with much cost and morbidity. The facilities for creating cancer awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment i.e., multidisciplinary approach, radiation treatment facilities, availability of cancer chemotherapeutic agents, palliative care facilities are not sufficient enough to meet the need of cancer afflicted patients.

The following tribulations to be addressed;

Lack of information about prevention and other matters to general public; Lack of facility for Early Cancer Detection at rural areas and also long travel for the Patient and by-standers to attend follow-up clinics.
Non-availability of expert opinion at nodal centers and rural areas and non-availability of certain diagnostic equipment's at nodal centers.
Difficulty for oncologists and other doctors to keep up with the latest knowledge in cancer care and difficulty in updating the National Cancer Registry in time.

WEALTHY 'GODS';POOR FOLLOWERS !
"The rich man at his castle,the poor man at his gate.god made them high or lowly and ordered their estate."[Cecil Frances Alexander].
Money,gold,silver and land which are meant for productive purposes and wider usage of the economy are unwisely kept and wasted in temples and in religious ceremonies. The 'god' and temples have become storage places of black money which is against scientific principles of any school of economic thought.No body knows the real worth of gold,silver,diamond and property in Triputi temples and other major worship places of India.It requires genuine and sincere initiative on part of state to probe and ascertain the quantity and value of such unaccounted wealth.And then these precious metals and money pouring in the Hundies of temples are deliberately kept dormant and kept out of circulation.As per one study,following are the most richest temples of the country :-
1. Sree Padmanabha Swamy: This temple has recently overtaken the famous Tirupati Balaji temple that held the title of the richest temple till now. The Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple is one of the main attractions in the city of Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala. In 2011, a hidden treasure worth 1,00,000 crore was discovered in underground crypts. This treasure included a sack full of real diamonds! Apart from this hidden wealth, the total worth of antiques used to decorate the Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple in itself must be astronomical. 2. Tirupati Temple: Before the Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple made headlines, the 'wish fulfilling' Balaji temple in Tirumala was considered to be the richest temple in this country. There is a mythical story that Lord Balaji who resides in the Tirupati temple incurred a huge loan from the treasurer of the Gods, Kuber to sponsor his wedding. Apparently he is still paying the debt and thus, donations from devotees in cash or kind are welcome. It also helps to have famous patrons like Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Ambani. 3. Shirdi Sai Baba Temple: It is ironic that a temple devoted to the biggest advocate of poverty is the third most richest temple in India. Sai Baba was a 'fakir' or an asetic who undertook begging as a mode of livelihood. But his idol is now adorned with jewellery worth 32 crores. As it is not known which religious faith Sai Baba belonged, people from all religions flock to this temple. 4. Siddhivinayak Temple: Mumbai is full of Bollywood stars but the king of them all is Ganesha himself. This Ganesh (Vinayak) temple looks and feels like a important government building from outside. There are severe security checks in place that makes it look like a military posting. The exact earning of this temple are undeclared but from the hoard of known names like Sachin Tendulkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Madhuri Dixit etc. on its devotee list, we can surely know why it is one of the richest temples in India. 5. Golden Temple: When the name itself reflects wealth, what could be in store? Amritsar in Punjab is famous for the Golden temple which was actually called Harmindher Sahib Gurudwara. The term 'golden' was added when the Gurudwara was adorned with intricate works of gold and silver. The gold work came along with the solid gold canopy sheltering the Adi Granth in the sanctum sanctorium.

CREDULOUS BELIEVERS RECITING AND WAITING SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL;
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत । अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥

WHY 'GODS' ARE STILL ALIVE ?
“The hardest thing of all is to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat.” 
― Confucius.
Had 'god' created men,there would have been no disparity amongst his various creations.Normally parents provide equal education,opportunities,wealth etc to all their children.Why did not 'god',being the supreme parent of mankind,distribute health,wealth,beauty etc equally amongst his children ?Why are only some people healthy,while others are sick ?Why are only few people rich and the vast majority poor ?Why are only a few people happy?Why do many people suffer an early death?There are people who cannot earn their own bread. In contrast there are those who have collected resources enough for millions. How can one conceive that the same 'god' made both Bill Gates and the poor masses living miserably in slums ?
Human suffering challenges the very existence of a creator.Had there been a kind,just and loving power to create and govern mankind,there would have been no place for inequality,exploitation,disease and injustice in the world. Surprisingly,mankind faced and still continues to face a number of miseries. Nevertheless,they still believe their 'gods' to be almighty,kind and helpful...Ancient scriptures deferred the scientific progress of mankind.

HINDU MYTH AND SUPERSTITION ABOUT ECLIPSE;
Thousands of years of mythology

Hindu mythology blames eclipses on the demon Rahu – who is variously depicted as a snake or a dragon or a disembodied head – who swallows the sun. (The one common thread of depictions of Rahu is that they’re all scary whether here, here or here). But many Indians take their superstition to extremes, with some doctors willing to help expectant parents even delay labor to avoid birth on such a day.

To be sure, India's critics of superstition, rationalists, have also been out in force in the nation's press in recent days. Amit Bhattacharya, writing in the Times of India, chides his countrymen for turning a glimpse at "the beauty that awaits us in the universe" into a day of fear.

"It’s fear that drives us to fast during an eclipse lest the mal-influence of the sunless period is ingested with the food. It’s fear again that prompts thousands of expectant Indian mothers, and fathers, to make use of medical science techniques to ensure they don’t give birth on the ‘inauspicious’ day of the eclipse,'' he writes.

"Three thousand years of lived tradition. A spiritual heritage that’s the envy of the world. One would have thought such wisdom would enable us to assimilate and imbibe modern knowledge in a more holistic manner... instead, we spread fear. If Shani doesn’t get you, Rahu must."

VALID MEANINGFUL QUESTION;
Kn Ramachandran
Who is behind the Bangalore Blast near BJP Office?
On 17th April when the submission of nomination papers for the Karnataka state assembly elections was going to be completed, a low intensity bomb explosion took place near the Malleswaram office of the BJP, the ruling party. Lot of speculation is created and as in the case of the Hyderabad blasts on 21st February the Indian Mujahideen like forces are targeted. In the case of Hyderabad blasts even after two months the Central Investigation Team or the state intelligence has come out with any proof to link it to any Muslim outfits. As we had pointed out soon after the blasts took place, it is the UPA government and the Sangh Parivar are beneficiaries of these. So our charge that either RAW or the Sangh Parivar terror squads are behind these is proved nearer to truth.
Almost same is the case with regard to present Bangalore blast also. The difference is that in this case it is only the BJP which is facing a rout in the elctions is benefitted by it. None else will try to do such a thing which will help onlly BJP which is proved corrupt and communal and isolated from the masses. Using it as a cover BJP is trying to whip up hate campaign against the minorities who were targeted for numerous attacks during its five tears’ rule, and to try to win as many seats as possible by spreading Hindutua communal frenzy as it always indulges in.
CPI (ML) demands that the CIT and all central agencies should bring out the truth behind this blast so that BJP is not allowed to escape like it was allowed to escape from numerous heinous communal acts in the past like the demolition of Babri Masjid, 2002 Gujarat massacres, and Malegaon like terror attacks. The record of nine years of UPA rule at centre shows that in spite of clear proofs it is not ready to take action against communal fascist BJP and RSS terror squads. In this way Congress is allowing the Sangh Parivar to escape, exposing its own communal appeasement policies.
CPI(ML) appeals to all the secular democratic forces to expose the communal fascist games of BJP and Sangh Parivar behind it, and the communal appeasement policies of the Congress and such other psuedo- secular parties, and to raise their voice for arresting those who are actually behid the Bangalore blasts instead of spreading rumours against the minorities which ultimately benefit the BJP.
