Generally we youth seek for fiery oratory-whether by a fellow youth or a distinguished intellectual; oratory that arouses the sleeping enthusiasm within us; which racks our brains and compels us to think and contemplate.
Exactly that was the thing that happened in those 75-80 minutes at the Satish Dhawan Auditorium, IISc when Dr. Bharat Karnad, a respected policy maker and critic delivered his ideas on the various facets of nuclear science and technology and its defense purview with respect to our country.
In the sea of lectures by eminent speakers, which are held almost everyday(or maybe thrice a week, perhaps) in/around the campus one has literally to strive hard everyday to keep track of the time and venue of each lecture, all of which are unique in their own respect. Indeed I was lucky to attend this lecture organized by Prasthutha-a students' concern of IISc at 6:00 pm on 30th August, 2011.
In his entire talk, Dr. Karnad described the "nuclear"scenario in India as well as abroad and the adversities India is facing due to not testing our nuclear weapons. What really bothers us is not Pakistan but China. He also stressed on the need of preparedness for this fallout arising due to lack of weapon testing systems in our country. In all it was a memorable experience anyone would like to cherish throughout his/her life.
