Beautiful collaboration of SCIENCE AND SIKHISM by Prof Darshdeep Kaur

 SCIENCE AND SIKHISM

The concept of correlation between Science and Sikhism is gaining ground in every nook and cranny of the world as many scientists are just now discovering the concepts that were in Sikh scriptures centuries ago. 

This is surprising that the Sikh gurus were not scientists nor trained in scientific methods, yet they provided tremendous insights into the workings of the natural and physical world. According to recent studies, " SIKHISM is the most scientific and most modern religion because it conforms to the demands and rubrics of modern science". 

Theories that are true according to both science and Sikhism:

1. According to both modern science and to the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, there are innumerable galaxies in the universe and in each there are many solar systems containing stars and planets, all of which are in constant motion.

2. Sikh Gurus told their followers not to use tobacco, do drugs or drink alcohol centuries ago, and scientists have also confirmed that the overuse of alcohol can be dangerous and people are genetically predisposed to become addicted to alcohol. 

3. The currently accepted theory for the creation of the universe is the BIG BANG THEORY which states that the universe has expanded into its current state from a primordial condition of enormous density and temperature, The Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji also supports the idea of Big Bang Theory and expanding universe.

4. Continuous creation and the expansion of the universe are also supported by Sikhism which says " Having created the creation, He watches over it. By his Glance of Grace, He bestows Happiness. There are planets, solar systems and galaxies. If one speaks of them, there is no limit, no end. There are worlds upon worlds of his Creation. As he commands, so they exist. He watches over all, and contemplating the creation, He rejoices. O Nanak, to describe this is as hard as steel. 

5. Sikhism provides a unique balance of spirituality and science. Both complement each other and together give a better understanding of how the world around us works.

Therefore, there can never be a conflict between true science and true religion, because they both describe reality.

E-COMMERCE: BLESSING TO THE CONSUMER BUT THREAT FOR BRICK AND MORTAR

E-Commerce has opened the doors to an entire new customer base which was once not a part of the market transactions. It provides ample variety, transparency, opportunity for price comparison and ease of shopping.

• Faulty products and misleading deals are some of the issues that need to be addressed.
• Small scale brick and mortar shops are in threat due to revolutionary rise of the digital transactions. E Commerce stores host their business online. Customers can shop the products from anywhere, but they cannot touch them or see more than a picture or video. Online stores have a huge advantage over physical retailers because they are able to sell to customers over a wider geographic area.
• E commerce addresses the time and cost constraints as regards the consumer. It facilitates 24x7 trading. It ensures quality products at lower rates by way of discount and deals. The biggest advantage is product comparison without physical movement
• E-commerce has definitely benefitted the consumers as it provides timely and cost effective services, ensuring doorstep delivery. Although it has brought doom over the retailers as their customer base is affected.
• E-commerce lack personal touch and approach to its customers.
• E commerce encourages online start-ups and lowers the marketing cost of physical shops. However, the security of transactions is a major issue.

Prof. Harpreet Kaur from History Department sharing "Development of Education during British Period in India"

  

 

Development of Education during British Period in India

Education policy of the British: In pre-British days, Hindus and Muslims were educated through Pathshala and Madrassa respectively, but their advent created a new place of learning i.e. Missionaries. So that, they can create a class of Indian who would be “Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste” who would act as interpreters between the Government and the masses.

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."   -Benjamin Franklin

Education is a powerful tool to unlock the golden door of freedom that can change the world. With the advent of the British Rule in India, their policies and measures breached the legacies of traditional schools of learning which resulted in the need for creating a class of subordinates. To achieve this goal, they instituted a number of acts to create an Indian canvas of English colour through the education system.

Initially, the British East India Company was not concerned with the development of the education system because their prime motive was trading and profit-making. To rule in India, they planned to educate a small section of upper and middle classes to create a class “Indian in blood and colour but English in taste” who would act as interpreters between the Government and the masses. This was also called the “downward filtration theory”. The following steps and measures were taken by the British for the development of Education in India. The chronological development of Education during the British Period in India is discussed below:

 

1813 Act & the Education

1. Charles Grant and William Wilberforce, who was missionary activists, compelled the East India Company to give up its non-invention policy and make way for spreading education through English in order to teach western literature and preach Christianity. Hence, the British Parliament added a clause in the 1813 charter that Governor-General-in-Council less than one lakh for education and allowed the Christian Missionaries to spread their religious ideas in India.

2. Act had its own importance because it was the first instance that British East India Company acknowledged for the promotion of education in India.

3. With the efforts of R.R.M Roy, the Calcutta College was established for imparting Western education.  Also, three Sanskrit colleges were set up at Calcutta.

 

General Committee of Public Instruction, 1823

1. This committee was formed to look after the development of education in India which was dominated by Orientalists who were the great supporter of Oriental learning rather than the Anglicans. Hence, they created paramount pressure on the British India Company to promote Western Education. As a result, the spread of education in India got discursive between Orientalist-Anglicist and Macaulay’s resolution come across with a clear picture of the British education system.

Lord Macaulay’s Education Policy, 1835

1. This policy was an attempt to create a system of education that educates only the upper strata of society through English.

2. Persian was abolished as the court language and  English become the court language.

3. Printings of English books were made free and available at a very low price.

4. English education was allotted more funds as compared to oriental learning.

5. In 1849, JED Bethune founded Bethune School.

6. Agriculture Institute was established at Pusa (Bihar)

7. Engineering Institute was established at Roorkee.

 Wood’s Dispatch, 1854

1. It is considered as the “Magna Carta of English Education in India” and contained a comprehensive plan for spreading education in India.

2. It states the responsibility of the State for the spread of education to the masses.

3. It recommended the hierarchy education level- At the bottom, vernacular primary school; at district, Anglo-vernacular High Schools and affiliated college, and affiliated universities of Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras Presidency.

4. Recommended English as a medium of instruction for higher studies and vernacular at school level

Hunter Commission (1882-83)

1. It was formed to evaluate the achievements of Wood Dispatch of 1854 under W.W Hunter in 1882.

2. It underlined the state’s role in the extension and improvement of primary education and secondary education.

3. It underlined the transfer of control to district and municipal boards.

4. It recommended two division of secondary education- Literary up to university; Vocational for commercial career.

Sadler Commission

1. It was formed to study on the problems Calcutta University and their recommendations were applicable to other universities also.

2. Their observations were as follows:

I. 12-year school course

II. 3-years degree after the intermediate stage

III. Centralised functioning of universities, unitary residential-teaching autonomous body.

IV. Recommended extended facilities for applied scientific and technological education, teacher’s training, and female education.

Impact of British rule on education

In the process, indigenous education suffered. It is too broad concept, and the exact impact of British rule on different regions at different times has to be studied more carefully before we conclude that the curve everywhere constantly declined.

 

What kind of Education did India have before British rule?

Modern education began in India under British rule. Before the British, India had its own educational systems like the Gurukulas and the Madrassas. The East India Company, during their first 60 years of rule didn’t care much for the education of those they ruled in India. (Even in England, universal education came about at a much later stage.)

 

Why did the British neglect education for Indians?

 According to the British, by getting the education Indians could stand against the British Rule. They thought that if Indians would become educated they could get equal rights and positions as them in the society

 

Why was education important to the Indian reformers?

The Indian reformers Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Daya Ram Sahni  believed that to keep up with times, a modern educational system was needed to spread rational thinking and scientific principles. The Charter Act of 1813 was the first step towards education being made an objective of the government.
