Abstract
Investigating issues related to scientific temper, provides "the space to engage in indigenous discourse" and is rich with potential for cross-cultural, gender and environmental sensitivity. This debate around scientific temper is often burdened by the continuous struggle against the ill effects of technology and belief systems on society.-
