From Science to Anti-Science | A Journey from Sir Syed Ahmad Khan To Allama Iqbal
Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy at T2F
Why is Pakistan so alienated from the rational sciences? This talk by Pervez Hoodbhoy traces the origins to Indian Muslim attitudes of four centuries ago. Emphasizing that the Mughal era was devoid of scientific curiosity, he moves to the pro-science vision of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan which eventually was overshadowed by the anti-science attitude of Allama Iqbal.
