Should Intellectual Kshatriya’s worry about controversy? | IISc Bangalore

Speaking at the Satish Dhawan Auditorium at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, Rajiv Malhotra discusses the influence of the illustrious scientist and mathematician Satish Dhawan on his own childhood and journey into the philosophy of science. He recounts how his Theory of Digestion came to be formulated, the gross distortions of Dharmic concepts and entities that he fought against, which led to major breakthroughs in creating new frameworks in Indology. Rajiv's actions, though, began to be seen as controversial by those who preferred inaction as a response instead of challenging the disfigurement of Dharmic concepts.
