Happy National Science Day

National Science Day is celebrated to commemorate the discovery of 'Raman Effect' which brought India Nobel Prize for Physics in the year 1930 with tremendous efforts of CV Raman.

No Civilization can aspire prosperity without adopting scientific spirit in it's practice. There is science of everything which makes it simple to understand. Science eases up the material world, it also helps to understand the malfunction of particular process.

Science must not be the privilege of the exclusive group. At least the scientific ideas must find vent in the mass ears. Sadly, the current time of the world is one of the most unscientific, jingoist, violent and anti reasoning.

In this scenario National Science Day is more relevant. India has quite a rich history of Scientists. We have Aryabhatta, Jagdish Chandra Bose, Vikram Sarabhai and Dr Abdul Kalam. Although India might have far lagged behind than Europe in giving the world enough scientists at least in terms of population, but India has given the world a large number of social and spiritual scientists.

Indian spirituality is rich with revolutionary figures like Krishna, Buddha, Mahavir, Kabir, Osho, and many more. We also have social scientists like Dayanand Saraswati, Ramkrishna Paramhans, Vivekananda, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Jyotiba Phule, Savitri Phule, Gandhi and Ambedkar.

These people challenged the status co of the time. They challenged orthodoxy of the tradition. They challenged within and without, established an alternative model for the community. India is great only because of these kind of people throughout the history. Let us cherish the innate scientific heritage of our culture, and promise the nation to carry it forward for the coming generation by turning our path to library.
