India Science (www.indiascience.in) is an Internet-based science Over-The-Top (OTT) TV channel. It is an initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt of India , implemented and managed by Vigyan Prasar (VP), an autonomous organisation of Department of Science and Technology. This 24x7 video platform is dedicated to science and technology knowledge dissemination, with a strong commitment to spreading scientific awareness especially with Indian perspectives, ethos and cultural milieu. The initiative is supported by National Council of Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC), DST.

Science and Technology are the main driving forces of the nation and fundamental to the progress and growth. But there is a distinct difference between “science” and “scientific”.

What do you think, is the difference and where do you think they relate with each other? How do the two words contribute to building and reinforcing scientific temper among the youth? Send us your views!

It is quite possible that when we were children, theism (belief in god) could have been imposed on us, first by our parents and then by our schools and so our brains have been conditioned to accept all the irrational beliefs/rituals/dogmas of our faith.

What weakness of brain allow us to swallow all the non sense of superstitious dogmas/rituals of our religion ? What weakness of brain allow us to cling to the time wasting world of irrational beliefs that constitute religion and religious practices?

How can we be easily trapped by the gurus, babas, godmen, soothsayers, astrologers, tantrics etc? How can we shut off all our mental faculties when it comes to our faith (religion)?

How can we consider believing without evidence as a mark of madness or stupidity in any other area of lives but at the same time consider believing in gods and the religious dogmas/rituals, without evidence, as a virtue ?

How can we, instantly, without examination, see the faults of other religions and at the same time remain blind to the irrationality, inconsistencies, contradictions of our own religion ?

Why are we so unscientific/irrational ? How can we justify our belief in absurd religious dogmas/rituals? How can we blindly follow the religions of our parents and identify ourselves as hindu, muslim, christian etc. ?
