Just a few minutes ago I was writing some comments in Times of India survey. The survey was asking to give some feedbacks from TOI readers. I am like a whole time readers of TOI. Because of my profession I have to be work with a computer all the day. and also as I am a person leaving in a country where I do not speak the language, hence I by compulsion I need to stay all the time close to internet. So, the best way to spend some time is to read ever updating news on TOI. Hence I thought I should some feedback to the TOI. What I wrote as a aaditional comment was this:
Dear Editor, just one comment. When you can give a hero like nature to some idiots from bollywood, why you can not make some serious reports about our Indian scientists?? These are the people who has the potential to make the Dream India true. Basic science need some real encouragements. please make regular column where you will report on some particular Indian Scientists. The topics can be : who they are, what they are trying to do, how their works can be related to our daily lives, how they spend their lives, from where the come, what are their problems. Please make these people as heroes, such reporting can really make some change and influence the minds of our children and more and more new minds will join science in future hopefully.
This comment is just what I would love to see come true. Really I daily I read a lot of news paper from India. Bengali, Hindi, English, Assamese …… in fact the total number is more or less like 15 different news paper!!! OK I do not read all of them! At least I give rough look over them now and then. In none of them I have ever seen a column where they constantly give some news about whats new in Indian Science community. But on the contrary in each of the news paper I can find at least one prominent column about what is happening in Bollywood. News paper are such a important pillar of our nation and society, the “fourth pillar of democracy”. But no regular science column on basic science?? How more stupid and ignorant a society can be?
this brings me to the point where I now decided that on a regular basis I would write some things which we should take care really if we want to see a strong and stable India in near future!!! ——————— Jai Hind.
