Science and myths

 Certainly, science and mythology serve different purposes and are not always directly compatible. Mythological stories often carry symbolic, cultural, or moral meanings rather than scientific explanations. Human civilization and its inventions are a result of centuries of cumulative scientific progress, observation, experimentation, and technological innovation. These advancements are rooted in empirical evidence and the application of natural laws, rather than being directly tied to mythical narratives. While myths have their own value in cultural heritage, science offers a rational and evidence-based approach to understanding the world around us and developing new technologies.

India's Communal Harmony and Media Landscape

Recent developments in India have raised significant concerns regarding communal harmony, the role of law enforcement, and the dissemination of misinformation. Below is an overview of these issues, supported by recent news and reports, to inform and educate the public on these critical matters: 1. Supreme Court's Stance on Mosque Demolition Petitions The Supreme Court of India has addressed petitions concerning the demolition of mosques, emphasizing the importance of adhering to legal procedures and maintaining communal harmony.

Lost land of secularism

The failure to halt the Babri demolition and the subsequent temple construction, while upholding the principles of secularism, demonstrates a political strategy laced with divisive tactics. Let us mobilize our social commitment to unite against the rise of divisive forces and safeguard our democratic values. In the pursuit of harmony, it falls upon the collective conscience of society to safeguard social stability, for institutions merely serve as conduits to either amplify or silence voices. The mantle of responsibility now rests firmly with the populace, as the highest judicial authorities, in a rare press conference, conveyed that it is the wisdom and will of the people that should guide the course of our collective destiny. It's important to express your concerns about communal tensions and the importance of unity in a diverse society. Promoting dialogue, understanding, and peaceful coexistence can be ways to address such issues and work towards a more harmonious society.

Knowledge and wisdom

 True wisdom and progress aren't about appearances or technical skills. They're about how we use technology and knowledge to help everyone. Real knowledge isn't measured by certificates or fancy terms. It's about understanding and caring for others. It's about seeking the truth and acting for the common good. It's about questioning what we hear in the media and thinking deeply about the world and ourselves. True sophistication lies in empathy, truth-seeking, and using our abilities to make the world better for all.
