Scientists including wizards in the Information Technology, we always will need, but not as desperately as India today needs two defined species. Social scientists and jurists.
These two segments are the worst sufferers today. India is said to be endowed with its rich cultural heritage. Culture sprouts from the communities that inhabit its land. That what is recounted as the riches India possessed by its heritage have since been over-written in the modern times. Indian constitution is said to have incorporated it. Gandhi- Nehru downwards are said to be its carriers. V.P.Singh followed by Mulayams-Lalus-Nititishes etc. are the major votaries of the same line. That is how Gandhi-Nehru-Lohia and the likes have got trans-mutated into the purported carried forward Indian heritage that we applaud. Do we have social scientists who may analyse the reduction of India's pristine social heritage to its present form, that holds all the concomitant fields of activities, be that social, political, administrative, legal or even cultural. Cast, creed, community and religious beliefs are its equity base.
Worth what, applauding or decrying. Just think, before you thank or condemn its illustrious authors, the Gandhis,Nehrus, Indiras, with all the tag , rag and bob tails you might name as your chosen icon.
Likewise, the legal segment is starved of jurists. What is language without grammar as its basic or first principles, is law without jurisprudence. It is that prudence or knowledge of basics of law that jurists lay down. Now, ask a student of law to name a jurist. Pat would come an answer, Austin , Salmond, Savigney, ...... Please, please, please stop. Please for heaven's sake, stop. These heavy weights hardly need to be named. They are known too well, as too well as are Indian deities known to the devotees despite being elusive and unavailable even for sake of comprehension.
Then what?
Please mention one, if not some, Indigenous name, whether ancient or recent. That answer will speak how expedient it is to fill this vacancy, though it may or may not be gain said, for the sake of argument, that constitution has already done a noble job in this regard. It appoints by default jurists in the Hon'ble Judges who adorn the benches of the Hon'ble High Courts and the Supreme Court of India. So our thirst must get quenched. Is it?
