...as if everyone with mental illness in India are consumers of the Government Electricity Department.
As if *state-of-the-art services* are being provided to all the people with mental illness in India.
The academics, others... who use such terminologies for patients with mental illness in India ...where have these people wandered from ?
So much of ennui.
Really…
That one has to copy terminologies from across the seas like 'service-users'
An isolation technique to take advantage of those really vulnerable with serious mental illness.
Keep them in a state of conflict…suspended animation…hostility.
Wonder if these academics, others... did any study on the banded kraits in Asia in their habitat .
Since they are pretty quiet on employment done piecemeal for persons with mental illness in the Rights of Persons Disabilities Bill 2014 tabled in parliament in India
Also very, very silent on the high risks of violence in people with untreated serious mental illness, mental illness with substance abuse...
No warmth. No caring. These academics, others...who are so poikilothermal ...the *poikilothermic homo sapiens* of the 21st century.
... for mental illness, is a legal *lasso* for *knowledge transfer*...right to life?
1.This *knowledge* of *how* is very well known to some *they* a small sub-set of population in India who have been treated/admitted > the *40* Mental Hospitals, Government hospitals, autonomous, mostly private mental health centres offering psychiatric treatments. This small sub-set who have the *knowledge* is a miniscule number of 65 million Indians with serious mental illness.
2. *Knowledge transmission* by the Government of India through intensive awareness campaigns on >*how* *they* will be treated for mental illness to the rest of the population in India> through *awareness campaigns mental illness* in cinema halls, multiplexes, markets, malls, schools, colleges, universities, in its colonies, near water wells and water taps where women congregate, routes in different terrains where women collect firewood, in buses, in trains, on highways, at toll centres where tax is collected,…is ominously missing.
3. *Knowledge transmission* by the Government of India on>*how* *they* will be treated for mental illness to the large set of the population through *awareness campaigns for mental illness* in television, radio, FM .…is not happening.
4. *Knowledge transmission* through intensive awareness campaigns Mental illness despite repeated appeals to the Ministry of Health of the Government of India over the years is not happening.
5. There is munificence in *knowledge transmission* by the Government of India, to the population of India for Cancer, HIV/AIDS, reproductive organs, lungs…
6. So what is the *how* unknown to most of the people in India
7. So an *advance directive* mooted, trumpeted, propagated and being compared to a *living will* by some learned people (what moral values they learnt in their process of learning is questionable) for *how* to be treated, when most people in India do not know that treatments exist for mental illness…
8. In a will you *know* what you are bequeathing and to whom. A will comes into force after one’s death.
9. In an Advance Directive, you are bequeathing your *knowledge* , your *traditional knowledge* , to the entities ... some yet to descend on us, rescue us, with their smooth talk, smiles, words, perfect looks, glamour… and glycerin induced tears.
10. Advantageous to whom? And to protect …whom? (Yippee… let’s dance…mental illness is exercising legal capacity...contract...right to life...legal lasso)
11. Who would be the *entities*> gaining, making money from the *traditional knowledge transfers* through the Advance Directives?
12.Which pool of knowledge would this traditional knowledge be going to?
13. SO far no *shared benefits* to those who bequeath *the Advance Directive*, the people of India with mental illness, on the road to becoming mentally ill, attempting suicides…
14. If an advance directive comes into force after giving it to the >...entities does the Advance Directive translate into giving away one’s Right to Life when one is still alive?
Response to: Tell me please, pretty please before my *father* or *mother* are turned into *nominated representatives* what is the *how* in the Advance Directive.

1. Where did all the *knowledge inputs* given in the process of making this Bill go?
2. In the trash can?
3. Or *knowledge* transfers to where and whom?
4. Free * Knowledge* transfers to the learned people with academic degrees to write their reports, books, studies, thesis, newspaper columns … without acknowledging their contributors? No *shared benefits* to so many who gave their *knowledge inputs* which have been kept out of this Bill.
5. This Bill refuses to acknowledge the years of neglect following the Census of India, 2001 which clubbed persons with mental illness together with persons with mental retardation >with all the benefits of rehabilitation showered on persons with mental retardation by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
6. This Bill refuses to acknowledge that the rehabilitation of those with serious mental illness in India was left to the impacted families and few organizations.
7. This bill refuses to acknowledge that Mental illness was counted separately in the last Census of India 2011 and not clubbed together with any disability.
Response to: Piecemeal Employment of mental illness in the Rights of Persons Disabilities Bill 2014 India, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment which is with the Standing Committee in the Parliament of India
