The Neglect of Science & Technology I Hum Sub Ka Pakistan, Ep-1 

Sir it's a very good discussion. In our education system what we do we try to introduce technology to the students in higher education. To the best of my knowledge in West they are now introducing basic concepts of science through games. How do you see this concept of games in early education in the context of Pakistan?

Hoodbhoy sir with due respect to you, India has always been knowledge centre.

Mr.Hoodbhoy’s bias against India stands out. He does recognize or downplays Indian civilizations contribution contribution to mathematics (Hindu numerical system and invention of Zero, decimal system, planetary system with sun as the center, and other scientific discoveries in other fields like physics, economics, biochemistry & molecular biology etc. Glossing over the achievements of India and disowning Indian heritage is a probably ingrained in Pakistani's psyche !!

I still see lots of misconceptions on Hindu philosophy. We do not hate Nehru in all respects in fact for certain ideology. Hindu philosophy does have something called vedic mathematics which is way beyond the west ever thought of. So with patrial knowledge one should not comment. Even before commenting about anything all should research properly.

Slamm to slam

He is absolutely right … i am doing PhD in computer science and i never thought i ll be integrating semirings with relational algebra. Coding is just a tool while mathematics is the core of engineering.

I am Muhammad Ali Abrar a PhD scholar in Economics at University of the Punjab. I appreciate PIDE for making this type of discussion. It is very interesting and fruitful for professional young students to capture sparking ideas over the edge. Thanks Nadeem ul Haq saab.

My heart goes to Abdus Salam but the heartening thing is that you people have started opening up about your mistakes.Its a good sign

Wonderful and thanks to Dr Nadeem for starting this series.

Pervej sir very wonderful man

Behtareen Guftagu ❤

We are so fortunate to have people like Hoodbhoy who decided to stay in Pakistan and not have a life full of luxuries elsewhere. It is our misfortune that no government has assigned him any role at the national level either in policymaking or in promoting education.

The only thing i disagree with the professor is that subcontinent had a science and mathematical base, most of the early arab mathematics and science were based out of indian mathematics texts. Also don't compare hindu extremists with muslims ones. Hinduism has many rituals and traditions but it being open architecture religion, science never faced any opposition. Actually most ancient great indian science and mathematics greats were saints and gurus.

Dr Pervez Hoodbhoy is spot on . Muslim Rulers , barring Sher Shah Suri( 6 years rule) were all given to wine women and song . That makes the ruler lazy and inertial and inebriated. Hence the closure of the Muslim minds. At Partition Indians had more nationalist leaders we had British Pan ached landlords , Sirs and Nawabzadas. who had no interest in anything barring in lucre and lasciviousness ; excepting Barrister MA Jinnah. The abominable status quo ante still persists. !! What do you expect???

Only 11 thousand people have watched this, I dont know how many were Pakistani

Pakistan is way ahead of India in missiles technology and nuclear technology.

Indian Muslims have access to same education system, but why is it that all top lauded global Indian CEOs happen to be Hindu?

As a phyiscist or a mathmematican Dr Hookhboy perhaps don'tbegin his counting with the Zero All Pakistanis have to begin counting with ZERO wether they like it or not

Humanity reached these heights due to science and technology - the device you are typing on was result of science and technology not prayers :)

Sir please read Openhymer s opinion on Srimad bhagwat Gita/ it will enlighten you and assist you to come out of darkness

Science is a rational attitude of an individual towards the world. However, unfortunately, in our country, religion has surpassed it. Right after our birth, we're told and reminded of beliefs without the attitude that science requires, critical thinking.

I don't like that how he downplays the ancient Indian civilization despite him being such an educated person.indians were master in the metallurgical, mathematics and medicinal departments.The wootz steel swords which was basically so popular among muslims( which they of course later named as Damascus steel) was originated in India!!!!our metallurgical industry was the most advanced in the ancient world.and also many Greek and muslim philosophers were inspired or had taken ideas from our texts.

The lack of science, education, of attending schools,parental ignorance of family and the importance of education for the children,, religious fanaticism jihad, financinf of terror by past governments and civil service, dscrimination with religion has throwback Pakistan into the darkness of technology, the lack English as a first language and to a greater part of hatred of India and no education or education in the madrassas has not helped Pakistan. Thus , India moved forward with IT. The Paksitani men only existed for one thing to marry any girl and as we know after that nothing else matters. The govt of past dictatorships recruited for their armed forces. Education was forgotten.

A backward country that is unable to pay its debt. A country that requires borrowed money to pay interest on the debt talks of science. Is it possible to talk of Quantum Physics when quarter of the country is under water? The professor is right when he evokes the Moguls and their disregard toward science. The inventors of modern science, present around 1618, saw this lack of interest in matters of economics and science with a sense of horror. This sense of horror remained there throughout their stay in the land of famine and starvation. They were particularly horrified at both Muslim and Hindu decay. Nehru saw it and shared English sense of horror. He saw how Hindu barbarism is fortified because it is connected with religion. His solution: Get Indian economy rolling with a strong education sector. This was a brilliant move. It was to bring back to life a shattered and dying India. Pakistan, with its feeble Muslim mind, kept its dead Mogul Equilibrium. Pakistan nuclear project is a white collar theft. That explains why Pakistan remains backward in both Physics and Math.

Karachi University you have lost a gem?

According to hoodhbhoy , a hindu who criticizes Hinduism and embraces islamic rituals is a secular person. A hindu is secular only if it hates hindus and Hinduism and loves islam , as nehru did. From where did that definition come from ?😂😂😂.... Konsa kitaab padhataa hai pata nhi. 😂😂

When will episode 2 will be launched ??

Clicking sound of the animation asking to subscribe is annoying

As an Indian.......it is very sad to see that Pakistani Intellectuals cohort(which are supposed to be agents of change in any society) despite knowing the real "elephant in the room" never addresses them. Despite, they either try to find scapegoats in past history, Neighbourhood etc or undermine others achievements in somewhat disparaging way!!!

Thank God Parvez was not attacked or killed after this. I can pray for his safety. But would agree his pov.

India best

Pervez consistently makes one mistake about India. India emphasizes a lot on Scientific education - that is because every Indian supports that kind of approach - this has nothing to do with Mr.Nehru. India progressed not because Mr.Nehru had to go against Hinduism, but because Hindus were always a very progressive community. Whereas in Pak, even educated people like Pervez are very regressive.

What a sad state of affairs. Instead of celebrating the Holy Prophet for encapsulating all of science in his life, these unbelievers are debating who the heroes of Pakistan should be in the field of science.

Parvez bhai ko bharat k prachin history jan ni chahiye

Only MIT education hoodbhoy sir, nothing knowledge of science and history of Indian subcontinent, he think history starts only mughal history,I know old university in Pakistan destroyed by mughal, nalanda university destroyed by mughal

Dr sahib sometimes launches fake missiles from history and Muslim history especially. 😂😂😂

I appreciate your mind on science but your knowledge on Hindu as a religion is biased, Hindu philosophy is based on knowledge , please don't tread into are where your knowledge is shallow.

So hindu should be secular not the other way.

Science ka Pakistan me kya kirdar raha? Iska jawab hai "villain" ka kyoki ye Quran ko galat sabit karane me laga hai.

Sir, just to put things in perspective (re Nehru comment): It is easy for a Hindu to be ‘secular’, because Hinduism does not demand allegiance to one doctrine, and certainly not to the idea of one God. you don’t have to believe in Shiva, or Vishnu, or Durga, or Ganesha, perform any ritual, or read any holy book. Pakitsanis seems to have so much misinformation about Hinduism that it is mind boggling. It is a pity given that Hinduism has been your own roots and is sitting right next to you and you still don’t want to understand it properly.

Salam was a Qadiani. Nothing to do with Pakistan.

The only way forward is through a deeper study and following of the Holy Quran, and better emulating of the acts of the Holy Prophet in his blessed Riyasat e Medina.

This badbhoy keeps talking of indias software everywhere he goes...😆

I think Science & Islam is oxymoron. .

So called alleged kattar hindu never hated science like kattar muslim do for ur information BJP,RSS has built more iit and aims than Nehru congress.... chandrayan n mangalyan project of isro funded by bjp modi government...

Host ya toh english bol le ya urdu. Pata nahi kya dikhana chhata h

Hinduism even in its extreme has never opposed science and tech. You are wrong prof hoodbhoy india has grown faster scientifically under BJP rule compare the stats yourself.

'katter hindu'. Haaahaha. I respect Hoodby sahib, but his analysis is childish and biased. Coming from a rational person, it is shocking. Modi sahib has made India a technologic hub of the world. It's sad to see him lopsided and biased.

This professor is basically atheist and always reflects negative behavior whenever you listen to him. He himself had done nothing more remarkable than just doing criticisms. He is Islamophobic, rather a religophobic. He is among those who belong to the generation who could not be able to play a positive role. And now he, the most negative one, is always busy spreading filth of his own mind.

Tell ur children to read the Koran n Hadith,all the science that u need to know is there.u can b come the most advanced nation in the world.allahu Akbar.
