I feel the Hippocratic Oath is being taken as a legal document to leverage against doctors in cases of suspected malpractice and it’s important to understand that it holds no such merit, but it is far from abandoned.

I swore the Hippocratic Oath ten years ago, in Finnish, but much to the above sentiment.I don’t agree that it has been abandoned.

It’s not a law or even a binding contract, but it is a guiding philosophy that I believe all reputable doctors maintain.

Apparently modern-day doctors do not pledge Hippocratic Oath.

However, the basic premises of the Oath are still valid and provide basis of medical ethics.

south many of us long to visit the great historic cities of UP - Varanasi, Agra, Prayag, Ayodhya, Mathura etc. But, when we get there, the appearance is very disappointing. If those cities can be cleaned up and given new parks, roads, ghats and clean water ways, that would be the real service to Ram.

Chandigarh was one of earliest planned city of India post-independence. It was made the capital of then Punjab, replacing Shimla. In 1966,Punjab was divided,with Haryanvi speaking people getting a state of their own-Haryana. To avoid conflict over Chandigarh, Centre made it an UT. Since then, there have been many agitagions by politicians from both side.

I believe that it is more important to work on the psyche of people be it doctors or someone from any other profession. Here we are dealing with humans (living beings with emotions), so we should focus more on spreading awareness among the masses, teaching them humanity and morality rather than changing a few words. Words have no meaning without context, so we should pay attention to people’s psychology more and making a better population which is harmonious.

Doctors are clever and hide it very well. However, it starts the rot in the soul and after some time the person and its professional ethos fall apart.

In my opinion, just changing the name is not enough. We (the government and the civilians too) should also work on the dream they thought of their country to look like, to represent it as a great economy. For Example, Gurugram is named after Guru Dronacharya, we should represent it the way Guru Dronacharya wanted ( disciplined ,expertise and many more) it.

No one would like to live with an identity that has caused public massacre in history.Even today there are many such roads which are in the name of Mughals who broke the temples and sold Hindu women in the market openly. So it is very important to wash these black marks from flourishing india. As far as infrastructure is concerned, there is no such government which has broken all the records of development in the last seven years.Now government is working in every sphere. It is very easy to criticise the government rather tha praising their works also.
