Jawaharlal Nehru’s contribution in pioneering the concept of scientific temper in India is widely acknowledged, and his legacy has had an influence on Academia, Education policy and popular science movements in the country. But in the last decade, the new age social media revolution has seen a renaissance of right wing nationalism, backed by an aggressive trend where ancient myths are transformed into historical facts and instant messaging groups are flooded with forwards of superstitious and irrational beliefs of religious exceptionalism. This has set the platform for a mythologization of science in a polarizing society eager to find sustenance in past glories. In such a fluid situation, it would be pertinent to ask how young Indians are handling the misinformation masquerading as science. This mixed method study explores the impact of the mythologization of science on Indian millennial group and the results show that they are not to be underestimated.

科学脾气和内鲁维亚人的影响:千禧一代如何处理印度的科学神话化

贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁(Jawaharlal Nehru)在开拓印度科学脾气概念方面所做的贡献得到了广泛认可,他的遗产对印度的学术界,教育政策和科普运动产生了影响。但是在过去的十年中,新时代的社交媒体革命见证了右翼民族主义的复兴,这种激进的趋势支持将古老的神话转化为历史事实,而即时通讯群体充斥着对宗教例外论的迷信和非理性信仰的前卫。 。这为渴望在过去的辉煌中寻求生存的两极分化的社会奠定了科学神话化的平台。在这种动荡的情况下,有必要问一下年轻的印度人如何处理伪装成科学的错误信息。
