Pakistan’s slice of the moon |

[DAWN] The atheistic Nehru brought to India an acceptance of Europe![]() an modernity. For this Hindutva hates him even more than it hates India’s Moslems and Christians. Still, his insistence on ’scientific temper’ ‐ a singularly odd phrase invented while he was still in prison ‐ made India nurture science. Earlier, vigorous reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy (1772-1833) had shown the path. As long as Nehru stood tall no rishi, yogi, or army general could head a science institution Will Pakistain also get a slice of the moon? That depends upon the quality of our scientists and if a culture of science develops. Of course, Pakistain never had a Nehru. A further setback happened in the Zia ul Haq |

#2 Pakistain did have a Nehru. Nehru himself. They just wanted a Mohammed (Jinnah) instead. Hence Pakistain. |

#1 Sigh ! Poor bastiches. But their folly is evident in Hoodbjoy's own otherwise erudite first words. Islamic hubris. |
