Quite unfortunately, we Indians do not have a Carl Sagan of our own. We have to remain content with buffoons like Pallav Bagla.
I remember his idiotic interview of Mahan Maharaj, the acclaimed mathematician. Bagla’s sole objective in that interview was to project the Maharaj (a monk of the Ramakrishna Mission) as an atheist who did not believe in Hinduism. He repeatedly attempted to emphasise that Maharaj has no faith in the Gods or even in the Advaita Vedanta philosophy of the Ramakrishna Mission, neither does he believe in Hinduism.
