Political Science
A recent headline caught my attention "Pluto loses status as a planet" ( http://www.physorg.com/news75645703.html)
So there is only eight planets and pluto got reduced to a status of a dwarf planet. Bunch of scientists (people) got together, discussed; some of them proposed another planet as a tenth planet. Since majority of them (now the buzz word is democracy) felt that the tenth object didn't quite fit the definition of a planet, they all agreed to change the definition! Thus when all the planets were revisited, the other group argued that even Pluto is not a planet according to the new definition. Nobody could come to a consensus, but anyway we need not worry - we all have democracy. Hence they conducted a polling of the scientific folks and thus pluto lost its position! Poor Pluto, didn't have enough time to muster (indulge in horse trading) support.
According to the Hindu civilization there are nine planets (two of them actually are not planets -Raghu, Kethu). While the western (current scientific community) scientists were fighting over earth was flat, thousands of years before that - a thousand miles away there was a vibrant civilization with great advancements in all fields including astronomy. They knew not only that the earth is round but also knew about the solar system and each of the planets positions etc.
In the eastern thought process (Asia), if someone doesn't understand an issue explained by a second person, then that someone is deemed "not shrewed enough". However what I noticed in my experience with the western thought process, the second one is deemed "not shrewed enough"! Since the western scientific community could not understand the eastern philosophy, they term that concept as "idiotic"! It should be the otherway around.
All that is required by us or current civilizations is to affirm what was discussed in the Hindu civilization. Either there are only seven planets or there are nine. The task for the scientific community is to knock one more planet or agree on the ninth one!
Is this called Political Science?
