The Government of India's AYUSH Ministry is promoting contemporary and alternative medicine like Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy with full steam. Their budget to do this seems to be increasing every year. Indians don't really mind this because we're big fans of popping pills that don't require prescriptions.
But if India's health is to improve, it's time AYUSH puts more stock into research and testing rather than marketing. At least then, our age-old treatments can gain some legitimacy.
