In case you fall sick and are hospitalized, your entire procedure may cost you Rs. 50,000 (for example). If you do not have health insurance, you will have to pay these charges yourself.

Abu Azmi Oath Taking Fiasco: Raj Thackeray’s MNS Should Mend Ways
November 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

MNS workers immediately started by snatching the mike away from him. In fact, some guy who could easily get the role a villain in any Indian film,... [Read the full story]

In Indian politics, we always see dynasty playing a big role. The Gandhi dynasty is the most visible example. Nehru to Indira Gandhi to Rajiv Gandhi to Sonia Gandhi to Rahul Gandhi. I can understand this happening in businesses, but why does this have to be so in politics. In fact, recently when the Andhra Chief Minister...
