Journal of Scientific Temper releases Special Issue on RISFreM 2022
As part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, Jawaharlal Nehru University organised an international conference on the "Role of Indian Science in Freedom Movement (RISFreM 2022)" in collaboration with Vijnana Bharati, CSIR-NIScPR (CSIR-National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research), New Delhi, and Vigyan Prasar on 28 February 2022 and 1 March 2022. Though Indian scientists faced several hurdles, they managed to maintain a subtle edge over the British and build ties with scientists abroad to develop science and technology. Their scientific temperament helped them to pave the path for themselves. The purpose of the conference was to raise awareness and generate scholarly evidence regarding Indians' contributions to science cultivation, scientific societies, institutions, industries, and in fighting British colonialism. During the conference, authors presented the papers pertaining to the theme of the conference, out of which a few selected papers are being presented in the Journal of Scientific Temper. Hope, the special issue will encourage the scholars and readers as well.Table of Contents
