A BIG QUESTION - Is PANDIT NEHRU behind the DEVELOPMENT of our science ?

ON A DAY WHEN INDIA ACHIEVED A GREAT MILESTONE IN MISSILE TECHNOLOGY, ''THE CONGRESS'' DARBARI LUTYENS CHOSE TO SHOWER THEIR CHOICEST PRAISES ON THEIR HERO NEHRU WHILE TAKING DIGS AT THE CURRENT P.M In PARLIAMENT,




This article shares some interesting facts about nehru and science :

 Nehru had a habit of delivering long speeches about Science and Technology (prepared beforehand and read out of sheet).

Nehru's speeches gave him the image of an ultimate science visionary. Nehru once delivered a very long speech in parliament on atomic plants

NM Lingam was Congress MP from Coimbatore. To impress his master, he asked Nehru a simple question.

Lingam: Sir, is the Atomic power plant uranium based or thorium based?

Science visionary Nehru: I can't answer that question. It is very technical.I may slip, I am not a Tech guy



Homi Bhabha is considered as the "father of Indian Nuclear Programme".During those days, Nuclear Programme was still in its nascent stage and it required funds as well as organization.

Homo Bhabha asked Nehru for these provisions in Five Year Plan and even offered to meet Nehru
Nehru's response to Homi Bhabha- "It is very late to make any change in the draft of five year plan.

You don't need to come now. I am busy. I am going away to Kashmir. There is a threat of general strike"



There was once a proposal to set up "Institute of Nuclear Physics" in Hyderabad.

But neither the Nehru Govt nor the Osmania University was willing to take up any responsibility. The project was indefinitely stalled and soon forgotten



During Nehru's  Golden age, scientists had to subsist on extremely low salaries and pensions were minimal.

As a result, many of country's foremost scientists elongated their career way past the retirement age. Nehru personally had to write letters to dismiss overage scientists

Why do Hindu worship cow ? Hindus don't worship cows. We respect honour and adore the cow. By honouring this gentle animal who gives more then she takes we honour all creatures.hindus regard all living creatures as sacred mammals, fishes, bird and more.  The cow represents life and the sustenance of life. The cow is so generous taking nothing but water, grass and grain. it gives and gives and gives of its milk as does the liberated soul give of his spiritual knowledge. the cow is so vital to life, the virtual sustainer of life, for many humans the cow is a symbol of grace and abundance. Veneration of the cow instils In Hindus the virtues of gentleness, receptivity and connectedness with nature. When a mother cannot breast feed her baby, it is the cow that we depend on. cow is revered as mother. Hence, to ask "why Hindus can drink cow milk but cannot eat cow meat?" Is equivalent to asking the same for your mother. ~Mahatma Gandhi once said, " one can measur...
