INTRODUCTION

Jawaharlal Nehru strongly believe in two wonderful concepts;

freedom of speech, and a concept he had coined, a nation with a

“scientific temper”.

That term, a “scientific temper” is a wonderfully succinct way to

describe a broad concept. By speaking of a nation with a “scientific

temper”, he wanted to speak of the people of a nation who would be

able to think independently, understand and practice the scientific

method in their daily lives, analyse and not take statements at their

face value, and avoid simplistic reasoning.

It has been easier said than done to create that atmosphere in a

nation where superstition, religion, rumor, myth and innumerable

beliefs abound.
