**** Well, that certainly proves that India can 
do things even without govt. intervention.  Now 
the question is who can afford to use these 
services? Is it for dollar/euro bearing 
foreigners, the select few of the newly rich 
desis, or the general population, including the 
sector that does not feature in that shining 
India's demography?

*** That must be tragic. Them enemy can have the 
Apollo's services, but the good
citizenry are deprived, all because of  the cursed ------- :-)?????
BTW, who are these Assamese who can afford to go 
to the Apollos of India? Is it a broad cross 
section of the population or only those select 
few?

*** In the meantime, the need for  public places 
of health-care excellence must have been 
abandoned entirely since it is an impossibility 
in desi-demokrasy!
