The real question is not one of quantitative adjustment and balancing of various incongruous elements and methods of production, but a qualitative change-over to something different and new, from which various social consequences flow. The economic and political aspects of this qualitative change are important, but equally important are the social and psychological aspects. In India especially, where we have been wedded far too long to past forms and modes of thought and action, new experiences, new processes, leading to new ideas and new horizons, are necessary.

The outstanding difficulty is not so much that only a very small percentage of the Hindu population is literate, but rather that only a very small percentage of the literate minority is able to read a journal like Science and Culture and to understand its rational and scientific message. The peace, security and prosperity of India will not be advanced by metaphysical and religious discussions but by the wise application of scientific and rational methods. For the sake of India’s freedom, we hope that the Hindu audience of Science and Culture will increase considerably.
