Since this vile piece of article..written by the biased cricket commentator ..in an prejudiced newspaper is being quoted internationally...
Guess it deserves some rebuke...

https://twitter.com/JohnChenJJ/status/1122423031937159169

Point 1: Article is published in section 'Opinion' ...that's what exactly it is : simple Opinion of someone named 'Ramchandra Guha'
Published in local political mouthpieceThe Telegraph ...pick up any date since 2014 and bet front page would be vilest junk on the PM of India.

Written 13 paragraphs by someone Ramchandra Guha ...on Science and scholarship ..
Paragraph 1- 3: All about PM surgical strikes etc..Nothing to do with science.
So ....that's the prejudiced opinion which has nothing to do with the subject of article..
Hence leave it..read ahead

First lines relevant to title:
May 2014 : that's his biggest problem. Nothing else.
He is writing all with ZERO facts and specifications.
Read the paragraph does anything in it suggest rational factual argument ?
Marzi hai ...kuch bhi bol do..yes it's an Opinion No Facts.

"These 'actions' by the Govt. (who knows what actions Guha means .. again No specifics )...
have led to loss of morale and credibility at premier Institutes":

morale of who ? I am from the community quoted and morale is as up beet as it ever was.
Again 'Opinion' Zero facts.

Guha: these institutions are losing the status they once enjoyed in the world...

Again Opinion: Zero facts...

Pick up any World Ranking of repute...
Pick up any scholarly index
Pick up any research parameter

We are doing BETTER than we Ever did.

Secondly what great Status Indian Institutes were having pre May 2014...Mr. Guha?
We never were in Top 10.
We are starting to break into Top 100 ..now only...
So where is the great decline ?

We are doing BETTER than we ever did!

His next Opinion :
The Regards and respect with which the PM holds scholars is Clearly evident in his hundreds of public interactions
Secondly : Best ministers are ones who need NOT be subject matter experts..
Did he checked Education Qualification of Ex PM & HRD ministers?

Mr Guha All vile Opinion : Zero facts

What great Field medals were won by Kapil Sibal ....Arjun Singh...etc.. ?

Guha Opinion : "Nor any interest to listen to experts" .."takes advice from ABVP ..blah blah "
Fact: check the distinguished 21 member PM Science Technology Innovation Advisory Council
Read the Names : and tell it to Mr. Guha also !

currentaffairs.gktoday.in/government-con…

Ok ..making it simpler..

Read the composition of PM s&T innovation advisory Council

Guha: ABVP..sanghi...blah blah ...
Fact: 👇

In para 5 -6 Guha talks of Indian Science Congress ...
It's a congress and No Science.

Every reasonable voice in S&T has been asking for disbanding or complete makeover of this congress 'too' 😬
But Guha can't stop lying ..so attributes PM @narendramodi statements he never said

Here comes the 'great cricket historian' Guha's next OPINION:
1. Guha: since time of Jamsetji ...country has been guided by reason...
Fact: History of INDIAN SCIENCE..reason and experimentation.. goes much beyond and much before IISc ..

With regards to great Jamsetji & IISc..

Read this letter by him..

And Think...

What would have happen to Guhaji if #SwamiVivekananda had accepted Jamshetji's offer ...
😂😂😂

Than he names institutes
NCBS
IIT...
Ex Director NCBS @kvijayraghavan is Principal scientists advisor to PM
@Ashutos61 distinguished Prof IIT Kanpur is leading DST
Guha: again all opinion Zero facts

And yes...how could Guhaji forget ..."Nehru" ..here he comes ...quoting opinion of some random Prasenjit as Facts ..

"Men like Bhabha and Sarabhai...built under Nehru's *Tutelage*" !!

Amazing ..
Can anything be more degrading to these men ?
@muglikar_
@shivkmishr

And in next Guha has long para ...about how better NDA was ...with such kind words for
MM Joshi , LK Advani, Yashwant Sinha, Arun Shourie ..
Words ..like he never had for them ever before ...
Koi bhi bas Modi nahin ..😂

And in next 2 paragraph ...Guhaji is crying out his autobiography ...
How jobless he has been rendered since May 2014...
And that's the only honest ..factual thing in the whole article...
Thanks @narendramodi
For surgical strike on such 'intellectuals' in his own words ..

Worst was stored for the last by Guha..

This is why I wrote the thread...

*Scaring and seeding doubts in the young generation and common people ..*

This was all an opinion of a prejudiced 'freelancer' with zero facts.
