Students in India issue a statement opposed to a rightwing symposium that aims to impose anti-scientific ancient superstitions on the sciences in India: The symposium On Ancient Indian Science through Sanksrit, in the 102nd Indian Science Congress held at Mumbai, afforded yet another glimpse of the Hindutva agenda in its most bizarre, ludicrous, and devious best. It featured papers on aircrafts in ancient India, the endorsement of Vaastushastra as a science, and stated that Yoga could be prescribed to treat neurological disorders. It was based on a familiar combination of the deliberate use of anachronistic terminologies, a lack of rigour in historic analysis, and vagueness in citing reference texts and sources.
