SAVE Namdeo Dhasal
SAVE Namdeo Dhasal!
Namdeo Dhasal, founder of the Dalit Panther, author of the literary classic Golpitha, bestowed with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004 by the Sahitya Akademi, has suffered from myaesthenia gravis – a rare and irreversible neuromuscular disease – since the 1980s. He is undergoing treatment at the Bombay Hospital and Medical Research Centre. The treatment is exorbitant, recurring and indefinite.
The Maharashtra government has decided to give Rs 5 lakh to Dhasal. Amitabh Bachchan, who suffers from the same ailment, has donated Rs 5 lakh towards Dhasal’s treatment. Salman Khan has given Rs 1 lakh.
If you wish to contribute towards the treatment and hospitalization of Dhasal, and the recurring costs incurred by his family:
1. Write a cheque in favour of the ‘Bombay Hospital Trust and Medical Research Centre’ with a covering note mentioning that the amount sent by you is specifically meant for the hospitalization and treatment of their patient Namdeo Dhasal, or
2. Send a cheque drawn in favour of Namdeo’s wife Malika Amar Shaikh.
You may send your contributions to:
Malika Amar Shaikh

Shastrinagar
Andheri (West)
Mumbai 400 053

Relief on the way….
As of now just praying for his well being… wish was in a position to help monetarily too…. This is when i feel i wish i was loaded… i hate to be in a situation wherein u d want to do so much but are left helpless…
i really hope he gets well soon…
One day you shall be loaded, Surya.
In the meantime, you can - perhaps - read Dhasal’s writings. That would help, too.
For the record: he is better. Albeit, marginally.
Thank you, Anurag and Prashant.
