Gauhar Raza is a Former Chief Scientist, CSIR
Mr. Gauhar Raza reimagines India as a nation of scientific temper and technological innovation. He discusses the importance of science and technology in India’s evolution from its pre-colonial period and names C.V. Raman, Homi Jahangir Bhabha, and Satish Dhawan, a few of the many scholars crucial to the development of scientific temper in 20th-century India. Mr. Raza defines science as systemic knowledge that verifies “facts” before believing them true and attributes them as crucial correctors to counter superstitious beliefs. Mr. Raza furthermore highlights the lack of adequate scientific institutions throughout India to disseminate rationality and scientific knowledge while discussing the importance of upgrading teachers on science. He advocates constructing more scientific institutions to improve accessibility to the masses, increase R&D investment, and ban unscientific propagation.
‘Reimagining India’ hopes to start a conversation to explore the contours of a society that is more just, equal, and aligned to the Constitutional values of liberty and fraternity. Over the next two months, beginning from Oct 2, 2021, 50 lectures on relevant themes by leading public intellectuals and political leaders will provide an alternate vision for the country.
