INDIA AND BIOCHEMISTRY

Before your minds set trotting or you start to scratch your head in wonderment about the connection of India and biochemistry. Let me tell you our traditions and biochemistry share an ancient relation, which are hidden because we were ignorant of our ancient science and ran after modernized format of science.

A few examples will illustrate this to you more clearly. Long before the discovery of nine planets, we have worshipped them as “Navagrahas”. We had discovered the “Nakshatras” or the constellations long before the others realized it existed. Our astronomy, medical sciences, physics, chemistry or biology is highly advanced in all senses, and yet, to our dismay we are tagged as a developing nation.

Sadly we are to busy labeling our tradition as superstition, to appear modern on the global platform. It’s high time we stop neglecting our scriptures and ancient science. I will keep trying to give you the scientific reasons of our beliefs. Keep following my series “India and Biochem” and even you say in exhilaration that you are proud to be an INDIAN.
