Our ancient studies show that Rational and Science are the base of our culture. Discussion, debate,Questions-answers, search for truth are our characteristics of human culture. In India during our slavery times, ignorance and superstition had taken the place of rational and science. We believe that people behave irrationally and are superstitious, because of wrong outdated beliefs held by them;because they are inculcated in their minds from childhood. It was believed that with the teaching of science in schools and colleges, people will be enlightened and will have a scientific temper or a scientific, rational and logical view of leading their lives. However this has not happened because the education policy makers in our country have sabotaged our educational system and the vested interests amongst these so called education experts have seen to it that our people remain mired in the bog of obscurantism and backward thinking.
