Plight of Science

Has Science mother of all invention and discovery sunk to abysmal condition. This thought struck to mine en cephalic no sooner had I heard a terse from eminent scientist and advisor CNR Roa.He uttered "The condition of science &technology is worse than ever before in India" I do share some common faith with dear scientist provided he expunge a ten letter word "technology" from his stance.the condition of science without doubt has degraded but not of technology.India which onces had Nobel leurate such as S N BOSE and C V Raman could not produce even one in last few decade.Moreover our share in research paper had fallen to 3% (figure much lower than our competitors BRIC nation).But what was the condition of technology than.Is strong science or better technology the need of hour.Our technology is far superior to those days when science was on its peak.

India excels in IT ITES services with its consultancy and bpo wings in full colour.Many global winner in IT industry are looking towards for major share in their profit.Accenture is rating it journey in India as Honeymoon destination.

Manufacturing sector onces thought to be sick has rejuvenated.Tata is the lady love of many steel major,while Mahindra's are busy dating Renault.ONGC Videsh found a mate in Kazak government while Ruia's after having premarital affair with Huchison are looking settled with Vodafone.Hero's found their heroine in Honda whlie Tata motors pal is Daewo and fait.

So technocrats no need to weep over the terse by scientist,we are not in swamp.....

Degraded science(senior citizen) but young technology could be dealt with but not the vice a versa .
