Abstract

In spite of a clear national commitment, the strong political will of the two major prime-ministers, the input of a huge amount of resources over the past three decades, and a cultural background where the "brahminical achievements" of R&D are highly valued, we still have a long way to go before a scientific attitude and approach are instilled into our society. This is obvious when one considers the national reaction to the total eclipse of the sun on February 16, 1980.
