Pl. also see what great service majority of doctors in India are doing - by being absent for govt jobs (which pays them salary) and building up their privvate practice. I mentioned this link in an earlier post.

Jihad -as understood by Muslims is an act of reform to cleanse the system- not of violence. I think you misinterpreted the meaning of Jihad.

Dear Umesh,
 
We need medical doctors and psychologists to come forward with the solution of the problem. To use titles like "Jihad against doctors" is a great disservice to the cause. There are exceptions, but most of the doctors are wonderful people --- they save our lives. One must avoid stereotyping and insinuating people, which appears to be a widespread misbehaviour at the net.
 
However, I thank you for the link in the Internet about a medical doctor being punished under the PNDT Act for selective female feticide. I most sincerely congratulate Dr. B.S. Dahiya, Haryana's former Health Chief for his fight. If possible, please give me his telephone number so that I may talk with him and invite him to the "Eighth International Conference Against Dowry, Female Feticide & Son-Preference" to be held in Kanyakumari on December 27,28 & 29, 2006.
 
PNDT is a punitive law which cannot really stop the menace unless there is a "Change of Mind-Set" in the country as adjudicated by the Supreme Court of India on October 10, 2003.
 
To "Change the Mind-set", we must work at the root of the attitude called "Son-Preference". I request the netters to discuss about the causes of "Son-Preference" and the actions needed to reform this wrong notion.
 
With the best wishes,
Himendra
