What is science ? Science means telling the truth and secrets of life and world with logical and acceptable reasons That's the reason why We always hear the term “be logical “ or “speak logically” . Science is in every smallest stuff on this planet in fact it goes beyond the 'planet-galaxy-universe' etc . Science is just infinite. It cannot be defined in a sentence that's the reason why it is a major subject in schools and books and theories are written. It is more than what we see in our daily lives , what we hear , science is MORE . Why is national science day celebrated? National science day is only celebrated in India on 28th of February, commemorating the discovery of the ‘Raman ef
fect ‘ for which the great, renowned scientist Dr. C.V. Raman was awarded the Nobel prize in 1930. There have been many Indian scientists that have proved the efficiency of India in the field of science at global level. India is one of the successful countries in the world in terms of science and technology but Unfortunately India is also the country where superstition is followed on a great extent . Do we really believe in science ? Actually no, we are the generation of 21st century . We know how greatly the expansion of science has taken place But in certain circumstances we behave unscientific. One of the main reasons behind this practice of superstition are our families. Earlier people hardly believed in science, and this attitude was being passed on to several generations. We are against some unhealthy traditions that seem irrelevant yet we participate in such traditions for our families which needs to be stopped . If we feel something is not right we must stick to our point and explain it’s reason to others or else this same baseless attitude will be passed on to the future generations where science is unaccepted. In many conditions science is being neglected totally by people. The best example is blind faiths. All the religions have some sort of blind faiths, which is, just like its name, followed blindly by people. Another example is the mental health of a person. Due to some disorders occurred by the mutations in the genes or some unfortunate incidents happened when child is the womb or after birth , people lose their mental balance and health and behave distinctively , Some “super genius” say that the person has been instilled some devil power / magic which is completely insane. Hormonal changes are also a part of science. We are very well aware that some scientific actions cannot be changed by any means. So are the hormonal changes. That leads to the person turning into a third gender which is absolutely alright. But because of the nonsense that has been installed in our minds for centuries makes the family / parents believe that their children are abnormal and some go in denial mode saying such things don't exist. They should be there for their children and tell them that it's fine and it's scientifically normal and there is nothing they need to ashamed of! Science is not a 7 lettered word or a subject, it’s a poetry of reality which needs to be accepted and celebrated. Today is another chance to do so. Just believe the facts because “the essence of science is independent thinking, hard work and not equipment “- Dr. C.V. Raman
