This has reference to a news item “Free hysterectomy for SHG members” (The Hindu 30/6). According to the said item, hysterectomy surgeries to be done free of cost for members of self groups at the district headquarters h ospital at Nizamabad, as announced by D.Srinivas, Minister for Higher Education, does not seem to be correct. It is a known fact that medicare, including surgeries, are free in all the Government hospitals in the State. As the dist headquarters hospital is a Government facility, there is no need to mention free surgeries by the Minister. If it is a private hospital the question of free service and payment service can be discussed. I don’t understand why the Minister uttered the word free surgeries in the district headquarters hospital. Either it might be the misinterpretation of the speech delivered by the Minister or he may have himself got confused. JP Reddy, Nalgonda Forceful writing
From 1919, Gandhiji began dominating the mind and spirit of India and turned into a rallying point of all the movements of national resurgence. His concern for the poor and the oppressed also gave a new orientation to what till then was a middle class attitude on life. His emphasis on truth, non-violence and ‘surrender unto god’, gave a sense of reality to the values which have, since time immemorial, constituted the heritage of India. The movements, which Gandhiji sponsored and directed, channelled the urge for freedom and led to the development of the technique of Satyagraha which gave to national aspirations a new sense of mission. Gandhiji was the master of English characterised by Biblical simplicity and directness. His writings, which were translated in all the regional languages, lent new vigour to literature. As a result, the national imagination turned from past glory to present achievements. Romanticism, which was in the clouds, came down to earth. The aesthetic was harnessed to practical and moral values, Subramanya Bharathi in the South and Maithili Sharan Gupt in the North caught the spirit of freedom in their poems of rare beauty. Literature of the renaissance period thus developed a comprehensive vision, a moral responsibility and a revolutionary urge, which were all the more irresistible because they wore born of a self-confidence blazing a new trail of world redemption through non-violence. M.Satyanarayan Rao, Warangal
