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.
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.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
