Over the past century, there have been many points of intersection between organized science, governmental policies and patronage, and societal benefits and concerns. In India, these linkages achieved prominence largely after independence. As in the West, the initial engagement of science, polity and society was marked by optimism, enthusiasm, and a belief that science would enable and empower governments to address various national problems, thereby enhancing the quality of life of the citizenry. In more recent decades, the euphoria has subsided, in part as science and society have both undergone rapid, far-reaching changes. The darker side of even the well-meaning application of at least some scientific technologies has also become more apparent, with greater appreciation of the longer-term detrimental effects of many scientific fixes to problems in areas ranging from food security to energy to disease. Another change is that scientific research has, on the whole, become more expensive, leading to a greater societal expectation of accountability.Full Text

The above lines, by the 15th century Sufi and Persian poet Nuruddin Abdurrehman Jami, say ‘What can I speak in praise of that exalted one? Though not a prophet, he had a book’. Jami, of course, was referring to Jalaaluddin Rumi, the legendary 13th century Persian poet and mystic, and his epic mystic poem the Masnavi-e-Ma’anavi, but what he said so beautifully could equally apply to Charles Darwin, whose book On the Origin of Species quite literally transformed our perception of the living world and ourselves as few books have done.Full Text
