The theory I believe in - The sudden/accidental deaths of Indian Academics were probably planned assassinations
So you could literally discuss anything, and you can actually have that experience to this day on Fortune and the Dark Web. So people started going through, like, really influential scientists and scientific organizations, and they found these men with big scars on their face over in charge. And lot was not known about their childhood and stuff like that. And then Operation Paperclip comes out and Lo and behold, these were abducted Nazis

And I'm just wondering when we use the term conspiracy theories, when you say I believe in conspiracy theories, I want to ask you, when you think something is elevated from a conspiracy theory to just the facts because of the confluence of new materials and things that are confirmed by various sources, does the transition from a conspiracy theory to history?

And once this entire process goes through, then we cement it as fact or like a law of fact or something that becomes a theory, like the theory of relativity rather than just a conspiracy theory rather than just thought in some scientists head. So I apply the same logic actually to conspiracy theories because I think they are dangerous, primarily because this is something I heard on Dawinchi Court documentary

Hi Binati, you have Homibaba's Photo in your swell. And while we can say it's a conspiracy theory, I think all of India believes that Homiba was assassinated by the CIA. He's the developer of the Indian atomic bomb. And he died because there was a misunderstanding between the air traffic control of Geneva Airport and his particular flight, which made his flight crash into the mountains. I mean, no other flight at that time crashed into the mountains and his flight

June 8, 2009, El Mahalingam, a 47 year old senior scientific officer at the Kaiga Atomic Power Station in Karvakarnataka, went on a morning walk and never returned. 24th November 2009, more than 20 workers from the same automatic power station fell ill after drinking tritium laced water. December 30, 2009, two young researchers, Omung Singh and Pasa Pratimba, were burned to death in a mysterious fire in the modular lab of the Baba Atomic Research Center BARC's Radiation and Photochemistry Department

Because even when people discuss nuclear power, they're like chinoville, they like Fukushima. Fair enough. But then we don't talk about all the other aspects of it ever. So that's why I used umiba, because he was Sudha brilliant man. Like just imagine if the accident or murder or whatever it was, if he made it and just a decade more like put aside the atomic power side of things

But majorly, they are a loss to humanity because imagine if someone did this to CV Ramen or if someone did this to Boss, or if someone did this to Baba before their contributions to the world of science. There's no age, technically, on scientific thought and on somebody having an idea that changes the world. And all of these lovely people, they never got to know that because the time was unfortunately cut short because of interference. Right. And it breaks my heart every single time

And it will only be after a long time that one theory about what happened will emerge, as you like, incontrovertible. There's an interesting film just about to be released, or perhaps it has been released called Operation Meatloaf. And I read the book about this on which the film is based, and that's a fascinating piece of I call it Trickery that was carried out by the British on Hitler during the Second World War. So they're all right

Hello. Hello. Thank you so much for listening. I'm going to have to also thank you for giving me the push to make this series on swell called Denuclearization of India. I already have a course on this elearning platform called An Academy, but that platform has become a bit of a greedy grant. So they have made that course paid, and I put that course up for free. But that's a shady business practice. Let's not go into that

He was sent to prison he languished in prison for more than nearly twelve to 15 years and after that it was proved that it is a false case and he was exonerated and the Supreme Court has reprimanded the Kerala police for foisting false case on him under central government and he has been paid huge compensation whatever it is this has pushed India 20 years back in developing cryogenic engine technology only with cryogenic engine we can launch GSLV vehicles, geo stationary launch vehicles

And I'll be reading up on this and hopefully this is the only time this happened. And there are not other scientists who paid the price. This heavy for wanting to innovate. Yeah. Thank you so much, sir. And then if you know any other examples of this sort, I'd be happy to learn because it's so sad. There are so many scientists who just disappear from the rosters because they had the pilot to do something innovative, something brave, something genuinely disruptive

One more development I would like to add here is that I heard that a movie by name Rocketry has been produced on this Nambi Narayan's scientist. Nambi Narayan apartment and false case Foister down it. The movie is called Rocketry produced by one of the other ones. And it's world premiere was screened yesterday in Cannes. If it comes on OTT platform, I would like everyone to see that movie. Rocketry premiere was screened yesterday at Keynes

So even if somehow the Indian Censor board is like no, you can't show this, we can use a VPN and watch the movie. I mean that's what I do because while dramatized at least some visualization of how cruel things of this sort would maybe contextualize how gruesome something of this sort actually is. So thank you so much for this Rocketry. It will be on my must watch list whenever it becomes available
