The Story of Human Birth: Part 1 on Science and the Scientific Temper

By Gauhar Raza

18 December 2025

Gauhar Raza is a former Professor at AcSIR, Chief Scientist, and a leading Urdu poet, social activist, and documentary filmmaker dedicated to popularizing science among the general public. He is renowned for his films such as Jung-e-Azadi on India’s First War of Independence, Inquilab on Bhagat Singh, and Zulmaton ke Daur Me on fascism.

Gauhar Raza emphasizes that what is truly needed is not just knowledge, but the scientific approach itself: an adventurous yet critical mind-set, a relentless search for truth and new knowledge, and the refusal to accept anything without careful testing and verification. It is the capacity to revise previous conclusions in the light of new evidence, the reliance on observed facts rather than preconceived theories, and the disciplined rigor of the mind that form the essence of scientific thinking.

Such a scientific temper is essential not only for the practice of science but for life itself, enabling us to confront challenges, solve problems, and navigate the complexities of the world with clarity, reason, and integrity.
