“As much belief as there is evidence for”, said Narendra Dabholkar, a social activist and rationalist, assassinated on this day 7 years ago. @gsaipsn has marked 20 Aug as ‘National Scientific Temper Day’ in his memory #NSTD #NationalScientificTemperDay #Dabholkar #AskWhy 
Dabholkar led the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti till his murder in 2013 and campaigned against miracle cures, unquestioning belief, caste oppression and irrationality.
He saw scientific temper and rationality as tools in the struggle for social justice.

Almost all of #Dabholkar's speeches and books were in Marathi, but some of them are now available in English, eg "The Case for Reason".
@gsaipsn called for 20 Aug to be marked as the #NSTD, with the apt slogan "Ask Why". #NationalScientificTemperDay
