Let’s popularize scientific temper:

Do you know a vast majority of atrocities in the world, against hapless men, women and children emanate from lack of scientific temper. The common people suffer the most. General ignorance and wide spread lack of scientific temper are the culprits.

A few representative examples:

1.      In the name of acquiring supernatural power, placating gods for a good fortune or to drive away evil spirits people are killed (sacrificed).

2.      Women are branded as witches and then suffer untold miseries.

3.      Gullible people are made to believe that physical ailments can be cured by sorcerers and practitioners of black magic and they are fleeced and made to live a miserable life.

There are many other such aberrations.  

It's very unfortunate that a large number of people, which also includes many who have very high degrees in disciplines of Science, lack scientific temper. 

What’s the way forward?

Well, by crying about darkness we can not bring about a change in the state. We will have to light a lamp and then expect that gradually darkness will be dispelled and hence this humble effort. Lets discuss about the atrocities emanating from lack of scientific tempers and also try to synthesize the possible solutions. Then we can forward the same to the law enforcement authorities or to the concerned government departments or to Voluntary organizations, which are working to spread such temper/ attitude amongst the general populace.
