Serious Health Issues

What are the serious health issues in India?

The most serious health issue seems to be film stars smoking on the screen.

The second most serious health issue seems to be film stars endorsing soft drinks.

All other health issues have been solved, or so it would seem, judging by Ramadoss' priorities. After all, Ramadoss has already told us that he disagrees with the UN report which says that India is a major area of concern due to the spread of AIDS.

Don't be surprised if Ramadoss' suggestion to fight AIDS turns out to be banning adulterous and promiscuous characters in film and TV scripts. I would have written a "someachaar" spoof on this, but under this UPA government, nothing is outside the realm of practicality and logic.
