This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
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
