A doubter is a true man of science

From Ibn-al-Haytham(World's first scientist according to UNESCO, the Vatican Observatory) to modern-day physicist and chemist, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier, The Indian Scientists include Homi J Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai, A. P J Abdul Kalam, Ashoke Sen, J .V. Narlikar etc. They all were doubter once, a doubt related to the surrounding, environment, and natural processes occur in everyday life, a doubt which brings new idea, new theories, new observations and different view point. 

                                            These doubts lead to not only a remarkable achievement but a welfaristic approach towards society and one of the greatest research in human history. It's not that Newton and Einstein were the greatest doubters and renowned scientists, an ordinary human can become a true man of science. When we look into our daily life doubts come in mind at every moment of time what we do is to make the decision by thinking about it or leave it.

                                               A doubt comes from the very beginning especially in school life, our teachers always tell us that "the more you ask a doubt, the more you learn". The fear of the teacher's anger sometimes lead students to stay silent. Human evolution create science from lighting the fire first time to building machines, generating AI(Artificial Intelligence), Machine Learning, Humanoid robots etc. But some development triggers to harm the climate of the earth. Coal burning, greenhouse gas emissions and eradication of various forests result in different types of pollution because of that countries like Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and  Austria shifting to renewable energy. India has also several power plants that use wind and water for generating electricity. 

                                                 In India taking an education means making money and getting a high paid salary job. Even top educational institutes such as IITs(Indian Institute of Technology), IISC(Indian Institute of Science) focus on research and technology but some students in these institutes goes for high package salaries in private sector. Our society teaches us from childhood about the importance of a job and money and how a good education and career ultimately lead to this. 

                                                   That's the reason why Indians are having a lack of scientific temperament. "India has not produced any nobel prize winner in science in the last 85 years-largely because of the lack of scientific temper" - Prof PM Bhargava. How we promote science by training all school teachers primary as well as secondary about student's focus on learning rather than scoring in exams, thinking and grabbing new ideas and helping them with various science projects. Science fairs are necessary not only in schools but in every area and society so that more and more children and adults seek knowledge about different research and theories. India has the ability to produce one of the genius scientists in the world all we need to do is to enhance our policies and make the environment for children to think and implement.
