RSS leader Dattatreya Hosabale said superstitions arise when education fails to convey scientific progress. Speaking at the GSIF THRIVE-2026 summit, he stressed reviving India’s tradition of linking science and spirituality. He urged governments to reform curricula, reduce inequality, and help society distinguish science from superstition.
Washington: RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale on Friday said superstitions take birth when the education systems, through their curriculum, fail to convey the scientific and technological advancements of a civilisation.
Participating in an interactive session organised by the Global Science Innovation Forum in San Francisco, Hosabale stressed on the need to revive and convey scientific inquiries of the past through the educational system.
“In our tradition, scientific inquiry and spirituality are not two separate things. They are deeply connected,” the RSS leader said.
Hosabale said there was a time in the world when religion and science were seen as being in conflict, but in Indian civilisational tradition, the same people and the same groups engaged in both scientific inquiry and spiritual practice.
