Actor Naseeruddin Shah<\/a> says it is sad that the country is losing its scientific temper. The veteran says with time, people of the country are moving away from science and drifting back towards believing in superstitions, which is an alarming thing to happen.<\/p>\n

\n

The actor, in an interview with The Lallantop, said Charles Darwin has been wiped out from textbooks and the next one to eventually be done with will be Albert Einstein. Shah<\/a> wondered what a syllabus without them would look like.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of science, we are going back to superstitions. \u2018This will cure cancer<\/a>, this will make aircraft fly, that will do so and so.\u2019 They have removed Charles Darwin from biology textbooks, the theory of evolution is gone. Next would be Einstein, then I don\u2019t know what they will teach us,\u201d Shah said.<\/p>\n

The actor also claimed that disinformation was being spread even by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO<\/a>), where a prominent head credited Puranas for all scientific discoveries and slammed the West for taking \u201cundue credit\u201d. Shah said the claims were so preposterous, how could one even begin to counter that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe head of ISRO, I think she is a lady, says \u2018Ye saari scientific discoveries purano mein hai (all these scientific discoveries were in the puranas) and that the West takes undue credit for this by considering them European inventions.\u2019 Now how can you even argue to that? What conversation can you have with such a personality?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Naseeruddin Shah currently stars as Mughal emperor Akbar in ZEE5\u2019s Taj: Reign of Revenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
