Politicos need to be educated and pay for it

Politicos need to be educated and pay for it.
Because they are the root of all ILLs here.
Only Looters become Politicos here.

'Science must be studied in its social context'

it is to be a better idea to be studied in the social context , if we do that i think we can save our surrounding environment as in real factor science is the symbole of social operation subject to the ruls of our circumferance, however civilization is sourced from the social activities.

India is a dummy democracy instead of direct democracy.
Useless Ambedkar is responsible for it.

Religion is not based on any science. It is pure faith.
The concept of God was used as a "fill in the blanks" for everything we didnt understand. As we start understanding more and more through science, importance of dependence on God vanishes.

There was a BLIND OPINION about science in 20th century
by Chanchal Majumdar on Mar 29, 2011 11:19 AM  | Hide replies

till its end (1940s to 1990s )when science was placed above everything so much that a class VIII student openly told 'My scince teacher has told not to accept anything till you hear or see .Do not believe in superstitious things'
HOW CAN THAT TEACHER SAY THAT ? HE CAN ONLY HIS BLIND CONVICTION ABOUT SCIENCE !
We saw many good cultures were shunned in the name of science ,thus socially destructive.
Its said 'a little learning is a dangerous thing'
A BIT OF KNOWLEDGE IN SCINCE MADE THE PEOPLE SO MAD ABOUT SCIENCE!
But what is science (meaning this material science) , can science tell about all happenings of the universe !
We see every dis covery is being altered with passing time , which means the knowledge through science is NOT YET ABSOLUTE!
Therefore this advice through this article is a timely one .
The WORD OF ADVICE IS ' WHEN THERE IS A CLASH BETWEEN THE FINDINGS OF SCIENCE AND SHASTRAS ,
OBEY THE SHASTRAS NOT SCIENCE '
LET SCIENCE GROW MORE !

science has never shunned any culture it has only explained it , science laws mean you have to prove something before accepting and if the proof given earlier is redefined or modified that means the previous law was incomplete/ incorrect hence that is perfect , you want us to obey shastras even without verifying , you simply believe its absolute ! only because its written in a scripture !! all religious scriptures are flawed and contradict themselves , the best idea is to not follow anyone but learn and find out from personal experience

LOL. All scriptures are flawed. Nice way to shut out knowledge. People like you are stupid but pretend to be rational. Science is a work in progress and shastras have mostly stood the test of times. So use all knowledge where you can and make wise decisions. If you go wrong, correct and use that knowledge in future.

Here is a challenge for you.

Name one such "good culture" which was shunned because of science and I will concede defeat.

I know many people believe in astrology but if one goes by proof it is nothing but cheating of people who claim to understand how planets effect our lives.
If things liek astrology and numerology worked, then all of Hrithik's movies would have been hits.

Science has purely been a work in progress and will be. All ways of knowledge are equally important and ones that have stood the test of times is more so.
