Alternative history of science

Hindusthan ka Vikas : Ek adhunik Hindu prayog is what I want my title to be translated into. I would like to say at the outset that it is no attempt to exclude any other community from the development of the country. There is an attempt in India to imitate the western development models because of the premise that these models are perfect and the belief in western superiority in science. Before I try and dismantle that belief I would like to take a look at how the academia in this country has systematically undermined Indian knowledge and Indian knowledge systems. It goes without saying that we should accept any idea that is useful given that our conditions are conducive to that idea. People's distrust in the academics today is the result of their denigration and degradation of all things Indian rather all things Hindu as saffron terror.

The Congress government failed maybe because there was a danger that it might offend ome minority communi...

A look across the politics of the world suggests that in every major nation in the world the so called ‘Right-wingers’ have come to power. As much fear as it has generated in the leftist press there has also been an elation in the mood of the people in India. The people had lost their trust in the congress government and anyway you can only use Gandhi’s name so much.
