If even the State President of IMA Rajasthan can be beaten while serving patients, then no doctor in India is safe.
Doctors are expected to save lives, tolerate abuse, and now survive assaults too?
Arrest the culprits immediately. Make an example of them.
Every attack on a doctor is an attack on healthcare itself.

When COVID struck, the entire world including medical colleges in India and abroad shifted to online learning. FMGs followed the rules that existed at the time. After 6 years, why are only they being singled out to “compensate”? This feels inconsistent and discriminatory.
We also need stability. Rules changing in short term create unbearable stress on students who are already giving their all to become doctors. FMGs only seek fairness and a consistent policy that treats every future doctor equally. #FairRulesForFMGs
The latest March 2026 @NMC_IND circular on FMG compensation certificates is a massive step backward. By demanding retrospective "course extensions," the NMC is blatantly disregarding its own June 19, 2024 notification and the relief granted by the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
A candidate with –40 marks in Neetpg can become a specialist doctor in this country, yet Foreign Medical Graduates who have already compensated for their online classes, cleared the FMGE and are diligently completing internships are being burdened with new superimposed guidelines every single year since COVID.
The irony is undeniable: COVID struck in 2020–21, but even today @NMC_BHARAT continues to publish guidelines citing “COVID online classes” as if the pandemic were ongoing. This is not regulation it is harassment on FMGs.

Shocked to see the latest NMC notice regarding FMGE’s
During COVID, thousands of Indian students studying abroad were forced into online classes by a global pandemic.
Now, years later, the NMC wakes up and demands “onsite compensation” as if students controlled the pandemic.
This is not regulation.
This is bureaucratic cruelty.
Students followed the rules that existed when they enrolled. Universities shifted online because the world shut down. And today the system wants to punish students for a crisis they did not create.
If NMC truly cared about standards, it should have issued clear policy during the pandemic, not after students have already invested years, money, and their future.
Stop treating FMGs like second-class doctors.
Policy cannot be written retrospectively on the backs of students.
Fix the system — don’t scapegoat the students.

Thousands of FMGs studied during war and pandemic, cleared FMGE, and are serving through internship.
Adding extra offline compensation now will only delay their careers.
We respectfully urge the National Medical Commission to withdraw this notice.

One detail from this Iran war should make every serious state sit up: credible reporting says Israeli leaders were shown an image of Khamenei’s body after it was recovered by Mossad agents - and that Israel had visibility on his fate faster than Iran could even confirm the death of it's supreme leader and shape the narrative. That’s not “tech”. That’s HUMINT + penetration.
Satellites don’t tell you who is in which room at what time. Signals don’t always survive encryption and discipline. What wins you wars and prevents surprises is human access so-urces, moles, defectors, recruited assets - the messy, thankless work of being inside the enemy’s bloodstream.
Israel has no luxury of being lazy at intelligence. It sits in a hostile neighbourhood with actors who openly want it erased. So it builds networks that aren’t “near the border.” They’re near the decision-makers. That’s what survival looks like when geography is unforgiving.
Now bring that lens to India. When you live next to Pakistan’s terror ecosystem and a Bangladesh theatre that keeps throwing up radical modules, you don’t get to be sentimental about “soft power” as a substitute for hard intelligence. You need early warning, deep penetration, counter-infiltration, and ruthless disruption - before the plot becomes a headline.
And this is exactly where the armchair moralists fail India. They love questioning operations after the fact. They hate the boring investments before the fact: intel budgets, source protection, language capability, field tradecraft, inter-agency fusion, and the political spine to back covert work without leaking it for TRPs.
Pop culture and superhit movies like Dhurandhar tells the story really well but makes it look stylish - one hero, one mission, one punchline. Real HUMINT though is the opposite: years of patience, ugly risks, zero credit, and often no medal because the best outcome is “nothing happened.”
This is not about chest-thumping. This is about statecraft. The world is moving into an age where wars are decided by who sees first, knows first, and shapes first. Israel gets that. India must get that - permanently. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and our intelligence apparatus, NEW INDIA definitely gets it.
Because 'terrorist harbouring neighbours' don’t send calendar invites before they strike. They send handlers, money, propaganda, and sleepers. The only answer is being inside that machinery early enough to break it.
If you want deterrence, stop thinking intelligence is an accessory. It’s the foundation.
Today, FMGs in Rajasthan are protesting due to non-payment of stipend,despite clear guidelines from @NMC_BHARAT and the honorable Supreme Court. FMGs are currently not receiving their payments in Rajasthan.
Requesting concern authorities to take immediate action and solve this issue.

@Rainmaker1973 You spelled it wrong. It’s Pilonidal Sinus. The cause is also not correctly explained, people with hairy back and dense growth near gluteal cleft are susceptible to it.
The NMC (@NMC_BHARAT) should issue a final notice based on all previous notices regarding FMGs. Over the years, multiple notices have been issued for FMGs, leading to confusion among various state councils and implicating different rules in different states.
The document should encompass details regarding the internship, stipend, FMGL regulations, and eligibility criteria.
These regulations may be referred as THE FINAL NOTICE for FMGs, based on all prior notifications.
If @NMC_BHARAT needs help with this, I can summarize all of this in just 5-6 hours, which will save time and effort for FMGs students and state councils, ultimately leading to a better future for FMGs & health care.
