In Hindi, debates and discussions on so-called ‘knowledge’ are common, but the discourse on ‘scientific knowledge’ is quite rare. Alongside, the Hindi-speaking region is getting sucked more and more into the vortex of blind faith and superstition. For the past 50 years, Devendra Mevadi has been writing simple science, more like story-telling, to make it comprehensible to the common man. He has also bagged many national honours for this endeavour.
