We need to give credit to our attention-starved scientists for their true achievements. Perhaps a good way to start would be to not mix science with religion.
Doordarshan should be more egalitarian in its Hindu aarti programming. Why stop at Ayodhya? After all, it’s a national election, not Uttar Pradesh assembly election.
Bell crafted in brass-bell hub of Jalesar set to be installed at main entrance of Ram temple in Ayodhya, which was consecrated Monday. Its origins lie in a story of devotion of loss.
Director who is known for political statements talked about the need ‘to erase communal ideas and regressive politics we are fed daily’, at audio launch event of Tamil film Blue Star.
PM equated inauguration of Ram temple with India’s future, asking detractors to revisit their thoughts on it, adding that people 'will talk about today even a 1,000 years from now'.
UP CM Adityanath says ‘Shri Ram Janmabhoomi probably first… case where majority community of a nation fought for construction of temple at birthplace of their idol’.
Sunil Rathore and Sharwan Singh pedalled their way to Ayodhya to see Ram Lalla, while Prabhakar Rao and his two friends drove in their car painted with Ramayana scenes.
Ayodhya gripped by festive fervour ahead of 22 January ceremony to be attended by PM Narendra Modi, among others. ThePrint's Praveen Jain and Suraj Singh Bisht bring glimpses of the action.
The 51-inch idol, crafted by Mysuru-based sculptor Arun Yogiraj, was brought to the Ram Mandir Wednesday night amid chanting of prayers and placed in the sanctum sanctorum Thursday.
What made him ‘Akbar the Great’ was not the might of his armies alone, but the political architecture he built to sustain power over a subcontinent teeming with diversity.
Soumya Pillai, your Hinduphobia is glaring.
People like you who are entrapped with colonial enslavement mentality are a true curse for Bharat.
You guys don’t have guts to write about billions of dollars spend on other colonial religions instead you guys are working for the invasions of colonial religions.
If you traitors hated so much the true religion and culture of Bharat than why not just move out to your beloved colonial nations.
I don’t know about science or school projects. I just know that Ram lalla’s praanapratista happened there. Is it right to focus a sharp beam of light ( which can burn paper) on the forehead of the Lord, who is sitting there to bless us, for more than 3 minutes.
Why is a question we all think we have an answer for, why is rooted in purpose, why is different for all, to the author, why is scientists required, to a reader, why this author is required, to somebody else why not, to me why bother in things important to others
Surya Tilak was something that brought out a child’s wonder in all of us.. agreed it is not great scientific achievement. But this science made us revisit our childhood, where we burnt paper and leaves.
If you think that scientists achievement is only when you send rockets and astronauts to moon and mars, you are wrong.
President Kalam said his greatest achievement and joy is finding a lightweight and strong prosthetic legs he developed for kids.
Don’t criticize everything and just see the bright side
The writer at the end suggested that it would be better not to mix science and religion. I think she is unaware that many of the religious practices have some science behind them. There is something called ethno-medical practices that serve some specific purposes and are mostly in tandem with a particular geography, season, etc. I am unable to understand how and who mixed science here. It seems the author penned this article with the bias of the so called secular, progressive, and leftist mindset that generally prevails in the geography where she comes from, as her name suggests. I completely agree with the comments of Globetrotter and Sunil Kumar. The Print needs to recheck its author’s cognition and neutrality.
Madam Pillai, from your own words you say it’s worthy of a under grad project so what makes you think the scientists spent entire life on the Surya Tilak project. The scientists don’t have to learn from you on how to manage their time. On the contrary, somebody else needs to learn how much time got wasted writing this senseless article!
Attention starved scientists statement is in bad taste. How does the writer justify that scientists are attention starved. What’s bad in engaging the best scientific organisation for the best national level monument. When the writer says it’s a sixth standard issue to reflect sunlight, does he mean it should have been done by an ordinary 6th standard student. Why do the teams across nations use best talents for basic coaching. What you have written herer could have been written by a 4th standard student, but the print engages you for the job…. why….! Does it bother you. If Indian team is ment
Good article!
I call this reporting jack ass

Rightly said
