Message from Editor in Chief, R
Lakshman |
Let's come together
You are what your deep driving desire is
As your desire is, so is your will
As your will, so is your deed
As your deed is, so is your destiny
Upanishad

We live in troubled, exciting and changing times in a benevolent
country. Each day as we watch the news from elsewhere, we realise
our many blessings and know how our problems are small in face of
the troubles facing so many of our human and animal brethren.
Those who have lived long in England will know the subtle but
definite changes that have taken place over this period of time as
society recognises, tolerates and then accepts its own
multicultural nature.
We all have close ties with countries in the Indian
subcontinent where we or our parents or their parents grew up. At
the same time, we live and work in England, and we need not
indulge in dichotomous thought. We can belong to both places and
enjoy the richness of both cultures. We can contribute proudly to
the health, wealth and upliftment of peoples in both countries. We
can teach our children to be proud of their dual inheritance.
We are doubly privileged – firstly to be doctors, and again to
be able to practice our art in a country, which believes in
providing equity of health care. Yes, there are problems, but we
have the advantage of a system that will hear, if we make our
voice heard and speak clearly. BAPIO gives us a forum to voice OUR
thoughts and try and improve the way OUR system works. Lets come
together – right now – through BAPIO.
