The search for the ultimate is what modern science does.

The search for the ultimate is what modern science does.”

modern science , a child, starting from crawl, a scratch, learnt abcd , has been quick to grow into a nice responsible adult citizen, gaining respect by its contribution to life’s journey, cutting out all frills of supers****ion, faith, belief, standing firm on a solid foundation of logic , mathematical accuracy, experimentation and verification.

it did not stop nor reached a dead end, it has marched forward in an endless exploration and is reaching the ultimate nearly almost, having post graduated into unity physics, unified field[ worth a share, bing search unified field theory]. such ”search for the truth WAS inbuilt into Indian Civilization” which always stressed the need for aiming at capturing the unity, the universal power , in to one’s grip, to have it in the hand as if an avla ”hasthamalakam” and evolved techniques for investigation and direct experience, preserved them into traditions, an automatic daily practicing schedule, –which was forgotten/ignored glorifying only  the externalities , leading the people in to uncertain/wrong track with consequence great loss in life.you are very right saying ” Unfortunately in the present day India that search for the ultimate is eclipsed by the "don’t accept anything from outside" and "hate anything that is not ours". What a sad fate for the "love for truth" and the "eclecticism"!

"love for truth" and the "eclecticism"–are welcome if they lead to the ultimate, but really sad if ending up in ”touch me not” or ”ostracism”
