Pakistan’s slice of the moon
[DAWN] The atheistic Nehru brought to India an acceptance of Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...an modernity. For this Hindutva hates him even more than it hates India’s Moslems and Christians. Still, his insistence on ’scientific temper’ ‐ a singularly odd phrase invented while he was still in prison ‐ made India nurture science. Earlier, vigorous reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1772-1833) had shown the path. As long as Nehru stood tall no rishi, yogi, or army general could head a science institution Will Pakistain also get a slice of the moon? That depends upon the quality of our scientists and if a culture of science develops. Of course, Pakistain never had a Nehru. A further setback happened in the Zia ul Haq Posted by: Fred 2019-07-28 |
