Dreams of a Healthy India

Democratic Healthcare in Post-Covid Times (Rethinking India Vol. 9)

By: Ritu Priya,Syeda Hameed

Dreams of a Healthy India the ninth volume in the Rethinking series is an attempt to demystify the issues of health care and health systems for the general reader and to simultaneously provoke rethinking on several critical dimensions through writings by policymakers and academics. Its introductory essay and the thirteen subsequent essays lay out the scenario as well as the challenges in this regard and provide actionable solutions. These are solutions for the present times that can simultaneously contribute to sustainable health care for the future. Complex ideas are not made simplistic but are presented in simple language with some illustrative case studies vignettes and data that speak for themselves. The book published in collaboration with the Samruddha Bharat Foundation sheds light on the complex systemic layers and processes that influence people's health in their everyday lives. It argues that there has to be a reassessment of the popular image of health care as medical care alone as well as of the nineteenth- and twentiety-century imagination of hospitals and health centres that we still work with. Systemic issues such as increasing doctor-patient distrust plural health knowledge systems and health governance need to be understood with analytical rigour and dealt with in the collaborative spirit of the twenty-first century. Democratic health care in the present times will have to ensure the dignity of the patient the community health workers nurses and doctors-something that is increasingly getting lost in the contemporary health-care system. This volume suggests that an indigenously developed health-care system based on public-community partnerships and respect for the plurality of needs experiences and knowledges can generate such health care for every Indian.

Born to Be Hanged

Political Biography of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto

By: Syeda Saiyidain Hameed

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto held the reins of the country from 1971 to 1977. He was overthrown in 1977 by his Chief of Army Staff, General Zia-ul-Haq, and executed in 1979. Zia-ul-Haq ruled over Pakistan for eleven years with an iron fist, curbing all dissent until he got blown up in an air crash in 1988. In almost three decades since, Pakistan's leadership has changed hands fifteen times. An extremely controversial and confrontational politics is associated with the era of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. It is therefore not surprising that, considering his towering stature, not enough has been researched and written about the tumultuous years of his accession to power culminating in what today is best described as regicide. Syeda Hameed delves deep into the politics of Pakistan, meeting Bhutto's contemporaries, mining information from archives and letters to bring to the fore a rich yet disturbing life and times of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
