AIZAWL, Oct 29: Mizoram Governor M M Lakhera today said Indians are still trapped in the syndrome of westernisation.
Speaking after inaugurating the science exhibition for children, organized by the Science Promotion Wing in association with the NCERT here, he said India was a pioneer country in different branches of science such as medicine, mathematics and astronomy in the olden days.
“British rule and westernisation changed the mindset of the people and even after 60 years of independence we have not been able to come out of that syndrome,” he added.
Explaining how science affects every facet of human life, the Governor urged the students to develop their ability to analyse problems logically and learn to apply their knowledge to practical use.
The 30th State-level science exhibition for children was organized in Aizawl district this year after a gap of seven years. It is a part of the “Jawaharlal Nehru National Science Exhibition” to be organized by NCERT in New Delhi in November 2010.
