Dr. Abhishek Swarnkar was a scientist whose research was recognised in international journals, he recently returned to India after working in Switzerland and was working at India’s premier institution for science and research, IISER Mohali. And he was killed by a bully, in a society that gives little to no respect to academics, researchers and scientists.
His tragic death is a damning indictment of how India treats its brightest minds. A scientist who gave up the comfort of a foreign life to contribute to his country was silenced by a bully. This is a national disgrace.
Academics, researchers, and scientists build our future. But in India, they are too often met with hostility, indifference, and, at times, with violence.
Bullying is a sickness that thrives on the silence of those who witness it and the reluctance of those who suffer from it.
Our intellectuals are not fighters; they are builders. They work with ideas, not fists. They seek solutions, not conflicts. Their humility and focus on knowledge make them easy targets for those who with brawn and little brain. They suffer silently, and continue doing what they are good at - scientific research for the betterment of humanity.
If we do not protect them, we fail as a society. If we do not stand up to bullies, we are complicit in their crimes. If we do not value our researchers, we will lose them—to silence, to despair, or to countries that know their worth.
Let’s create an India where intelligence is not bullied into submission, where kindness is not mistaken for weakness, and where those who dedicate their lives to learning are honored, not harassed. If we do not act now, another Dr. Abhishek will fall, and we will have only ourselves to blame.
Can the scientific and research community do something about this? Can they?
सिर्फ हंगामा खड़ा करना मेरा मकसद नहीं,
मेरी कोशिश है कि ये सूरत बदलनी चाहिए।
मेरे सीने में नहीं तो तेरे सीने में सही,
हो कहीं भी आग, लेकिन आग जलनी चाहिए।
