Rashtrapati Bhavan to host a World Indology conference from November 21 to 23

The Rashtrapati Bhavan will host for the first time a World Indology Conference in collaboration with Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) from November 21 to 23, 2015. This is a first of its kind event where around 21 eminent Indologists from across the world will live in Rashtrapati Bhavan (including in the prestigious Guest Wing of Rashtrapati Bhavan which normally hosts visiting leaders from foreign countries) and along with eight senior scholars from India deliberate on various topics related to Indian culture and philosophy. 

A ‘Distinguished Indologist’ Award will be presented by President Mukherjee toProf. Heinrich Freiherr Von Stietencron from Germany on the occasion. Such an Award is being instituted for the first time by ICCR. 

The idea of Rashtrapati Bhavan hosting such a conference emerged during the visit of President Pranab Mukherjee to Russia from May 7 to 11, 2015. Following a meeting with leading Indologists in Moscow, President Mukherjee announced that he would be happy to host an international conference on Indology in Rashtrapati Bhavan and directed ICCR to do the needful in this regard. 

The World Indology Conference will commence with an inaugural address by President Pranab Mukherjee on November 21, 2015. Minister for External Affairs, Smt. Sushma Swaraj and President of ICCR, Prof. Lokesh Chandra will also participate in the function. The five academic sessions of the conference are carefully designed, giving equal weightage to the Eastern and Western perspectives about the respective themes being discussed. It will witness detailed discussions on topics such as ‘Indological Studies in Historical Perspective’, ‘Sanskrit Literature-Past and Present’, ‘Sanskrit Drama- Theory and Practice’, Indian Philosophical Thought’ and ‘Indian Art and Architecture’ over three days. External Affairs Minister Smt. Sushma Swaraj and President of ICCR will chair sessions on the opening day. 

The conference is a unique platform which will bring the best scholars from across the world including India to discuss the present state of Indology, its relevance and also the challenges faced by them in India and abroad. The deliberations during the conference would open new vistas for researchers to infuse new vigour in the younger generation to take up Indology as a subject of study. 

ICCR has instituted the annual ‘ICCR Distinguished Indologist Award’ to recognize eminent Indologists working abroad who have made outstanding contribution to the study/teaching/research in India’s philosophy, thought, history, art, culture, Indian languages, literature, civilization, society etc. This award includes US$ 20000 and a Citation.

He is well known as researcher, teacher, academician and epigrapher. He has worked on various aspects of history of Indian religions, especially Hinduism and done research on epics and puranas.

              SOME IMPORTANT ASPECTS FOR INDIAN DEVELOPMENT WHICH NOW OUR  GREAT  PRIME MINSTER WANTS

  [FROM THE VIEW OF A DOCTOR WHO IS STAYING AT RURAL AREA ONLY TO OBSERVE THIS HEALTH FACTOR  AND MASS MENTALITY.]

 Dr Rajatsubhra  Mukhopadhyay M.D.PGPN[Boston]

Director ,Child Health Care Arambag,

AS I am staying at Bengal at Arambag area ,my view will be based on this area. But I think this will be applicable in other places also. Because I am trying to find out the peoples psychology also.

1.CLEAN INDIA.

TOILETS

I think if the toilets are made by the Government and to allow to use this free and  have an option to donate whatever the user can with out any fied charge . The project will be successful. 

LOGIC: Here the public  , specially labor class likes to defecate at open roof places. Like to bathe at Ponds or River. This is Psychology. So whatever you tell to them will remains ineffective. No political party will force them to do that. And we need the self realization.  But if the Government  gives them a scope... to do that at free of cost ... and keep an potion through ...‘donating a little’  ...which can suffice to maintain the cleanliness of the toilet and maintenance of water, light etc. I think it will be a SUCCESSFUL  PLAN.

 MOTION SICKNESS

Mass Education through Radio TV Health Care staffs like ASHA worker School  if guidance is given to carry a plastic or waste bag  to vomits at Bus and to through into a dustbin after alighting from the bus.

I have noticed here ,when people roams by Bus specially the women ,very commonly suffers from MOTION SICKNESS. And they vomit through windows. At that time they do not care about other people moving or coming near the Bus.

PONDS

AT LEAST ONE POND MUST BE PRESERVED TO DOMESTIC USE AND BATHING IN EVERY AREA OF THE VILLAGE.

For the labors class the’ bathrooms  to bathe ‘will be not very effective. Rather in every locality if one pond is sanitized keeping without any pesticide from cultivation land or from fishery . This  will be only for domestic use like bathe, washing clothes etc. Then The Government can offer them a better health.

2.DIRECT MARKETING

MARKETING OF MEDICINAL PLANTS AND ITS PRODUCTS AND  CULTIVATION PRODUCTS is difficult. Through e Governance if this  scope is offered the rural area will be benefited.

3. PERSONAL GROOMING.

 Through e- education teach THE FARMER’S SON AND DAUGHTER ‘the PERSONAL GROOMING’. THIS WILL RAISE THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL OF THE PEOPLE . AND  WILL HELP THE COUNTRY IN TERMS OF INTER MIXING, MARKETING,EXAMINATION,DAILY LIVING AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE.

LOGIC:

Till date English speaking people and Sahib Behavior dominates over Indian Mind . This is psychology. Let us make a ....‘farmer’s son Sahib’  ...keeping him at village. Otherwise .....a ‘City – Village’ gap is occurring. It counts in life and quality. All lectures of ‘Swedesi ‘ remains for the village  and even when to  talk about it ,he talks in English, like me.   The SWADESHI likes to TURN the metro cultured people  into village culture or to help them to follow a  simple life style . But they do not try to become familiar with the Metro culture to a village student. So why not my farmer’ s son will be fluent  in English?  So through e- education , teach them the GROOMING .THIS WILL RAISE THE CONFIDENCE LEVEL OD THE PEOPLE . AND ULTIMATELY  WILL HELP THE COUNTRY, IN TERMS OF INTER MIXING, MARKETING,EXAMINATION. DAILY LIVING AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE.

THEY ARE BECOMING CRASHED BETWEEN OVER MODERN METRO CULTURE AND EXTREME SWADESHI CULTURE , NEITHER IS WANTED FOR AN ORDINARY PEOPLE.

4.INTEGRATED MEDICINE.

TO START A NEW MEDICAL SYSTEM WHERE A Holistic mode of therapy will be given. Aim of which  is Less antibiotics ,less cost, less Investigation, Less Surgery and a long Healthy life.

LOGIC: At rural area I am also finding besides allopathic system indigenous medical systems are equally popular to the public & cheaper. Indian medical system have different streams which are sometimes contradictory to each other. The co-ordination in scientific way among these medical streams is important. And to spread  the system to the remote areas that mode of therapy through Health care.

AN ACADEMIC DOCTOR AT RURAL AREA AND THE PROBLEM

Money is  never only preference to this person. His academic carrier is always good . After completion his  he starts practice at rural area to observe the people & diseases over here more minutely just for research purpose. Looking the huge cost burden in Asthma treatment he starts thinking how the cost can be minimized. That was 2003. Since then he is keeping the data bank of his patients. In 2006 he starts fully practicing life ,besides a academic life ,he is keeping data of some specific diseases of his own interest, out of his keen academic nature to track the disease progress with his treatment.
Since 2006 he is tracking his patients with ASTHMA & so many other diseases.
Among these, he wanted to have a clinical trial registration under ICMR for the work with asthma to publish his work in international journal just for academic interest. That was 2008-09. ICMR gave him a UPTRN Number under WHO. But when he started perusing this number in 2010,he found that The ICMR has started a new web format. And all previous data is lost.
However this time he found that, to have this CRTI-NUMBER, he needs AN ETHICAL COMMITTEE'S PERMISSION.  [ Though This is neither any special trial or any serious experiment with bodily organs . This was just some analysis from his  prescriptions ,patient's data & follow up .]
With a long struggle he came to know that he have to contact with medical college for this works. They have asked for hard copies of his research proposal to discuss in committee.
 He sent his idea in form of an ordinary paper in a famous journal. They denied to publish it because there was no peer review.They replied that this might have impact in society, so, though the idea is interesting , because of this ,they are unable to publish.He sent this in some free academic web sites.
In the mean time this same research is undertaken by NCBI in 2011.
Now even he starts his work with permission, chronologically that will be a latter one.
The research's world is a race. At a same time, perhaps the same idea or work is going on in different parts of the world. But one have to prove that he is the first to make that .And in this race of research, 'the time lapse', 'cordial support', 'seriousness',- all counts.Previously Sir J C Bose, Dr Subhas Mukhopadhyay  all have been defeated in this race. This is the strategy of us.
Matter of frustration is that the idea or academy is suffering from the disease of laws & regulations.
When a doctor is under an institution , his papers of any quality or by any means is acceptable,  but independently to publish any original work is next to impossible.
Is this in India Or in all countries?
Then there is no scope for this type of doctor or scientist to continue his work?
Then SCIENCE is only for institution & employed fellows!
