He has now joined Aam Aadmi Party (APP). </div> </div> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Dr. Kalsaria, a general surgeon runs two charitable hospitals in Mahuva where an average of over 90,000 poor people take treatment every year at a very low cost. </div> </div> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The book is a series of numerous inspiring incidents of Dr. Kalsaria’s three-decades’ work as a doctor in a small town. They show how he does not only practice medicine, but also render yeoman’s services to ailing humanity. The book also documents Dr Kalsaria’s active association with struggles of the small farmers and rural folk. A recent </div> </div> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> culminating point of Dr Kalsaria’s leadership is the success of the agitation against the detergent giant Nirma’s proposed cement plant in his constituency.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O4e_2PluLtc/Uxlz-rlvFpI/AAAAAAAABYs/DrcTbmT2AVI/s1600/book-2a.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img alt="Peed Parai Jane Re" border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O4e_2PluLtc/Uxlz-rlvFpI/AAAAAAAABYs/DrcTbmT2AVI/s1600/book-2a.png" title="Peed Parai Jane Re" width="392" /></a></div> </div> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Dr Kalsaria never took MLA’s perks, allowances and salary from the government for all his three terms. He could convince his daughter not to take admission to medicine on a seat for the reserved quota candidate, since he believed it must go to the one who really needs it; and a practicing doctor’s daughter was not the one who needed it according to her father! Dr. Kalasaria has also fasted several times to atone for the offences and errors which others made in his hospitals or in his constituency. The book shows how the Gandhian values of truth; non-violence, voluntary poverty and purity of means have permeated sixty years of Dr Kalsaria’s personal and public life. </div> </div> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The 220-page book containing illustrations and graphics is the result of four years of field work and research across the state as well as in Mumbai. </div> </div> </div> </div>
