About the Book:

Bijnaner Kramobikash aims to present the evolution of scientific progress to the general public, covering a vast historical timeline from ancient times to 1960. The book is especially relevant to India, and more specifically, Bengal, where despite advancements in education and technology, a significant portion of the population still remains heavily influenced by superstition, rituals, and unscientific beliefs. This includes a wide spectrum of people—whether illiterate, educated, wealthy, or poor—and spans both urban and rural areas.

Despite the growth in educational institutions like IITs and technological achievements such as space exploration and satellite launches, the book highlights that many people remain bound by unscientific, superstitious thinking. The book calls attention to the limited progress made by the science movement, including the scarce availability of scientific books and journals to the masses. While some important books on science are being published in Bangladesh, the editor feels that more is needed to create a tangible change in public consciousness.

The book serves two purposes: first, to make the history of scientific progress accessible to all, and second, to provide a valuable resource for those involved in the science movement. It can be of great use to students, educators, and libraries, offering detailed insights into the development of science through history. This collection of information serves as a tool for encouraging rational thinking and countering superstition in society.
