Sir taught me two Physics courses at lums and I can say it was an honour. He was a humble and a gentle person. Without doubt one of the best teachers I ever had.
@@DWAGON1818 bro you can go online and look for his research papers on nuclear physics. Dont just look at the titles read the papers if you can understand 5% of it good for you. Let me know.
God it’s been so long since I’ve watched Sir Hoodbhoy on screen. One of the few people in this Godforsaken country who have guts to talk that openly. Thank you Shehzad for this eidi ♥️
"Mathematics is not a collection of facts, it is a way of thinking!" - couldn't have said it better than what Dr Hoodbhoy said. Check out his lectures on TBH (in English and Urdu).
Hoodbhoy sir one of the great Pakistani scientist. Pak govt utilise his expertise. he should treated at par with great Indian scientist Dr A P j Abdul Kalam sahab. ex President of Republic of India.
IIT infrastructure has improved immensely. I have visited its campus and i can confidently say IITs have it's infrastructure comparable to international standards.
@@jam-ss2jc so you can't 'confidently' say infrastructure is comparable. I have been visiting IIT Chennai and Bombay for my work, and have done research (physically) at a mid-tier American research university. I can say that there is still a large gap in the infrastructure, facilities, and instruments required for research at IITs. Talent and excellent professors at IITs compensate for that gap.
@@jam-ss2jc I think that could be an appropriate comparison; in south Asia IITs, IISC, TFRI, etc. could be better in terms of infrastructure and quality of technical education. In my opinion, infrastructure is not the only problem. Companies that provide sophisticated instruments, reagents, material, etc. required for R&D are not in India. India or private companies need to build in-house capability to produce material/equipment that supports R&D. The way to build this life cycle is that the government provides a large research funding to these institutions, this is an impetus for private companies to build research equipment&material and demand-supply life cycle then continues.
Good that he clarified that he is anti-hijab. I don't know how else to interpret him. Thank you Shahzad for highlighting about other women in the islamic world. Unfortunate to see that he still was not able to differentiate between hijab versus lack of education/patriarchism. The correct question should have been if he believes in the teaching of Quran and Sunnah? Thank you again for asking this question.
I’m so proud to say this. We have some beautiful examples in India: 1. We have kids aged 12, 13 who have changed their middle/last names with mothers names. 2. I came across a person in a MNC who was a man last year, and is a woman today☺️. 3. I came across a blind HR head at a US based MNC in Bangalore. How cool is it. Beautiful things happening around. 😇😇
Excellent quality discussion! Really enjoyed the discussion on philosophy in particular. Thanks for the complements on IIT. I am an IITian myself. While pleasant to hear, let me offer some candid commentary. Firstly, I am not sure, 95 percent of full professors even in India will pass the IIT entrance exam competitively so you are likely being a bit tough on the Pakistani education system. Nor does the toughness of the exam have a great correlation with school educational standards in India in general. Even the quality of IIT professors was candidly average and somewhat variable compared to what you will find in the US. It is the entrance exam selection which has made the difference historically in developing the IIT brand. The IITs are now making a strong push to raise the quality of research as well but this is a recent phenomena and there is some wood to be chopped on this front. Coming to the entrance exam, students prepare used to prepare for the IIT entrance exam (JEE) through two years of intense self study in my day. School in the last 2 years was not highly relevant (in fact we skipped classes to prepare) because the entrance exam curriculum itself was quite a bit more more expansive than school curriculum. We studied Russian math books, Resnick and Halliday for Physics etc. books and materials that they use in college courses everywhere else including the US. Nowadays, aspirants use a lot more in person coaching classes, but it is still primarily self study. Nothing you can’t replicate in Pakistan. Start with copying the format of this exam (modifying as necessary).You may not even need to set up a separate institute. Just having a tough entrance exam for an elite program at say LUMS may be a good starting point. It may take many years to build the brand itself, but build it and the best students in Pakistan will likely come.
Don't get emotional, he is good I agree but to say we don't have any India that is a bit far fetched. Even the esteemed professor would disagree with you.
Superb ! I love to hear to Dr. Hoodbhoy who is a single soul speaking the whole truth in this country of 250 million people. He is an ardent advocate of Science and scientific method. He speaks openly against pseudoscience and big bugs like Iqbal chaudhry. He is a principled man having no paralell I dare say. I hope he should be invited time and again.
@@DWAGON1818 I don't think so. He is not an award hungry person like many people in our country. President Musharraf wanted to award him accolades like tamghai imthiaz etcetera but he refused to take it.
@@DWAGON1818 we should discuss your identity first. Why should I discuss his achievements with you. You better ask the question from him. I have a degree in Biological science and am not a Quantum Physicist.
Stay safe Dr. Hoodbhoy. We need more sons of Pakistan following your footsteps. You are pride of this country. It is shameful that talented and humble people like you and your work is not recognised and respected by the state. Wish you all the best.
Doc hoodbhoy's take on ghazali is quite accurate, it is also written in ahmet.t.kuru's book where he mentioned the decline of Islamic civilization and how ghazali somehow played a role in that decline,he propagated that non-religious sciences are a threat to a muslim's faith.
Science and religion are anti -thetical . Religion is belief whereas Science is to question. The most one could do is limit and separate their domains from each other.
Delightful interview Shehzad! Dr. Hoodbhoy never fails to impress. Also, his response on IIT's not having great labs made me laugh. If they manage to pump out such brilliance without enough resources, imagine what they could do if they had the sort of funds that MIT or Princeton have! Keep up the great work!
میں نے آپ کی پوری کنورسیشن سنی ۔۔۔۔۔ اچھی تھی پاکستانی سماج کے حساب سے ، لیکن کاش آپ احمدیہ کمیونٹی کے اندر جو مظالم ہیں ان سے بھی خود کو واقف کریں کریٹیکل اور ریشنل تھنکنگ کی ڈیمانڈز اور معیار پر پورا تو اتریں تاکہ اچھے لگیں
I really like Mr hodbhoy in science matters this is his domain but I think Islam is not his domain you should stick with science subjects I hope no hard heart filling
I highly appreciate his views on science and technology and the corruption that is taking place in the name of science in Pakistan. But I think every guy should remain in his domain of expertise and not try to belittle or make fund of things which he does not understand like the religion of Islam. Islam never says that you should not seek medical attention or use the latest treatment in medicine. In fact it is highly recommended to seek medical attention. So the fact that he used this false argument to make this justification against religion shows that he is not an expert in this field and should abstain from giving advice in areas which are beyond his knowledge. I think this is what he tries to preach and does not practise this when it comes to religion.
The Haka is performed by many New Zealand sports teams and on many occasions other than sports. Haka performed by the NZ rugby team, the All Blacks, is a ceremonial war dance of the Māoris and not a religious act.
I feel every Pakistani has an opinion about India and right wing politics. Bhai humare yaha science aur education wale majority hai. Overall India’s macros and micros are really good. I wish they stop talking about us and comparing with us. You want to have an opinion of India’s religion first look at how your countrymen conducted 26/11 attacks. Even when you admit all your mistakes or situation you first compare with the minority fringe in India. That shows your lack of right attitude despite being most liberal in Pakistan
Honestly they all have below avg intellect...and don't expect them to have any soft corner for people who still are connected to ancient Indic civilization....just see how Shehzad said "bandar" to describe Ganesha...like seriously? They don't even have intrest to know basics of what hindus are....crazy
@@prashantp2029 I don’t want to demean anyone but seriously when I hear Pakistani news and channels. I feel the vast majority of them are now gone to the sad side. The number of times ppl say saazish. The number of times Pakistani bring their religion to the front. And just to feel good about their sad state they will say things about Indians. Maybe it’s the denial of civilisation but I think it’s more the continuous path that their people have taken towards self destruction.
Vedic science are not superstitious, read about ancient Indian science. Contributions to Mathematics, Astronomy, medical sciences, Philosophy, metallurgy is Phenomenal.
same argument that muslims make about golden age of islam. such a shame to see carbon copies of dogmatic molvis popping up on the other side of border too
@@71espn Exactly, people don't know how remarkable they were in those days....BJP is doing that historically...they are not including it in science but in history books.
Covid and homeschooling was hope but, indeed destroyed early schoolers who learn in small groups of friends and get invaluable experience by physical interactivity.
Science, insan aur aurat dushman moashra. Try to assemble personalities like Dr. Hoodbhoy on one plateform to make a political party in future. Dr. Sahib must make a blog or site where at least he can ask critical scientific and mathematical questions to the students as question of the day to explore about it.
Interesting QnA and a dignified ethos. However in my opinion, before going into the questions related to science ,there should have been a question or some discussion on the scientific method itself. That would have been a better approach. Excellent work by the host.
1:46 you have wrong perception about bjp, bjp government promoted lots of projects in science and technology , when modi was elected in 2014 , he started various initiative like startup india, digital india, research in Artificial intelligence, and advance material, new education policy is introduced by bjp government , Recently allocated 10 billion dollar for semiconductor manufacturing, If we can study ancient greek science and math then why not india vedic maths ,if something's useful and rational

48:14 yes, including Dr Zakir, who is a fan of the Taliban, but when threatened with Modi, he moved to Malaysia and even lives there even after Taliban took over Afghanistan
The problem is not logic, the problem is assumptions. If you assume 1 = 3 then by logic of addition 1+ 1 = 3+ 3. People need to question the assumptions that everything has been created by a monotheistic god. Or that monotheistic god was talking to someone 1400 years ago.
@@faizanfayaz8978 just live a good life by not harming others (including animals) or harming yourself. There is no need for accepting fantastical assumptions as truths. Here is an ideal summary by Marcus Aurelius: “Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones”

There is a need to downgrade 80% of our Universities to undergraduate colleges. Furthermore ensure that these colleges are maintained as good institutions.
The Universe including our World is governed by Physical Laws. e.g. fire will burn. No amount of prayer or meditation will prevent fire from burning. However it is the Creator of the Universe who has also established Physical Laws. The Creator has also established moral / ethical Laws governing the human society. The irony is that we honor Physical Laws (because the consequences are immediately visible) however have no qualms in ignoring morals / ethics.
It wasn’t gazali who wanted us to say “InShaAllah” Once our Beloved Prophet Muhammed (SAWW) forgot to say InShaAllah and in response to that , revelations were stopped for a short term. Then a next revelation came “mentioning to say ‘InShaAllah’ every time you aim to do something and repent to your God whenever you make a mistake” This is not exact translation of the revelation. But it wasn’t Gazali, it was from Allah.
