| Abstract | In this essay I try to analyze the status of science in India in the past, present and future. As the history of Indian civilization starts more than 5000 years ago, it is an insurmountable task to list the development of Indian science in a chronological order. Therefore, I discuss the salient scienti c achievements in various times and its implications on the society and vice versa. In spite of having developed forefront research in Mathematics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Medicine etc., even before 2000B.C, Indian Science has undergone a dull-phase in the past 1000 years. The possible reasons for this recession such as political, cultural and religious impacts are outlined. Though India was lagging behind many of the industrialized nations in the 1950s, it emerged a power to reckon with in the late 20th century. The in uence of science on the status of life and people's view of the scientists is also analyzed. Finally I would like to list some of the challenges faced by the Indian science in the future. |
