Yes, we all agree that science is for people (including us, our families, relatives, friends, our nation and our world). So, what do you think about the following?

Indian scientists want to compete with the world and develop much more for that. However, there seem to be less number of plans for research on Indian life, Indian soil, Indian seas, Indian pollution, Indian food, Indian habits, Indian heritage and Indian people—made of such a huge mass of people on earth. I list few examples…

(Let us include only those topics where science can contribute)

O Mumbai faces flood almost every rainy season—WHY SO? People complain that Municipal Corporation should do something, but also, there is no apparent reason known from scientific point of view. If we know the reason then we can stop the damage or make it less effective.

O There is a large number of crimes every year but not much science is used to solve any case. Police rarely approaches scientists and the scientists are not much aware of the need of police. However, I heard of police tracking mobile phones or recording the chatting (only in cities) but much more can be done.

O A large population faces pain in back regularly including many ladies but no study on WHY such a large number? What can be done, etc.

O Also, a large number of population do fasting on particular occasions and no study exists on such fasting—how long fast is ok for body or what should be taken during fast, or how body functions during fasting etc. etc. I heard of some Jains doing it for weeks. They should know what happens to them.

O Why is there no study on Ayurveda to verify some results and make them public?

Let us think of how much and how many people are aware of day to day science?

O Their habits of watching TV for long hours and taking any food on the way, and who knows the side effects? Their irregularities in life, etc. etc. may affect their health.

O How much spice is ok for the body and how Indian food should be taken in every season in India for a good health?

O How trees are good for the environment? How about some plants in home?

O Common public is not aware about Indian science and its progress except that their children may enter into an IIT or not.
