Former Director General of CSIR and a retired professor at IIA, Bengaluru, respond to the statement issued by more than 300 scientists criticising the Surya Tilak project for Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Suresh was awarded National Medal of Science, and Gadgil the National Medal of Technology & Innovation for 'advancing scientific research that helped communities worldwide'.
Youtubers like Gareeb Scientist, Science is Dope and PhD holders and CERN employees, science communicators community is growing. “It dilutes findings”, say researchers.
52 Indian scientists are in the world's top 2% according to the Alper Dodger Scientific Index for 2023, released Monday. Here’s a look at the top 25 and their work.
GST rate of 18% will apply to all scientific equipment in public-funded research institutes, up from earlier concessional rate of 5%. Scientists call for supplementary grants.
In ‘India’s Science Geniuses’, Archana Sharma and Spoorthy Raman write about scientist Sejal Shah and her groundbreaking research on energy generation.
Peter Manuel's ‘Cassette Culture’ showed the booming Bhakti music during the '80s and '90s when Anoop Jalota, Gulshan Kumar achieved success by singing the sanitised Bhajans.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
Go through the Vedic texts before commenting anything. I understand that scientists have achieved a lot in their field of studies, but rather than criticising, please try to understand the concept and provide your views in improvising, if required. I am sure, the religious texts and ancient sanatan texts have immeasurable knowledge, which can be a boon for Indian scientific research, if studied in detail with an expert in sanskrit which you can find in varanasi, ayodhya and Maharashtra.
The signatories must be surviving on funding to propagate views by their Masters. Hence they fails to understand basic science and if they were so intelligent they could have implemented this or such projects at smaller level with less involvement of resources for populism of Science and could have served masses to overcome ignorance..
It is indeed a marvelous way to waste state limited resources keeping in view how India’s larger population is struggling to make both ends meet (a larger chunk is still below poverty line) one more GLARING example is chandryaan , space station and gagan-nauts missions. India is, was and never will be recognised as a “superpower” nor it should aspire to be so.
What you don’t understand is the government could have contracted some company which specialises in doing such architecture related design to create the mirror systems. Our scientists are trying hard to advance India in their respective field of expertise. This project which might have cost them inevitably a lot of time could have been easily undertaken by good engineers with Bachelor’s degrees. Moreover, many of these scientists have extremely important administrative positions in important government institutions. Think of how much this would distract them from their responsibilities. Let me give you an analogy. Imagine if a BJP member organised a birthday party for his child and Modiji has been roped in as the organiser. Do you think that it is efficient or worthwhile for the Prime Minister of India who has to lead the country being forced to organise a birthday party. Or would you rather have a party event organiser do it?
Fully agree with the scientific community. God is everywhere and even a small temple with a symbol of God is sufficient to express bakthi. The same applies to other religions. We are a poor country with most of the population needing healthcare, food and education apart from development. Why waste money on extravaganza.
Secondly , the whole temple issue is more for political reasons than true belief in God.
The so called scientists seem to be more political and slaves to some leaders. They should be more open minded and inform the public the nuances of science and engineering . There are always people who want to find fault with everything they come across.
जौ कह झूँठ मसखरी जाना। कलिजुग सोइ गुनवंत बखाना।।
निराचार जो श्रुति पथ त्यागी। कलिजुग सोइ ग्यानी सो बिरागी।।
जाकें नख अरु जटा बिसाला। सोइ तापस प्रसिद्ध कलिकाला।।
In SriRamcharitmanas Uttarakand. This is wht our scientists are doing here.

These so called scientists are not that much educated enough to relate themselves with science. They are limited to explored-science only.
What ever you said to justify, it is understandable that you used science to show “some miracle, “at the behest of your “Master ”

Excellent response to arrogant intelligent people
