The prime minister of India visited the Indian Institute of Science last week. I am sure the visit was planned a long time ago, but it came at a good time, since there's been a lot of controversy recently about the current government's backing of ancient Indian spacecraft and other fancies. My Facebook feed was filled with photographs of students protesting his visit, holding placards that extolled the virtues of scientific temper and of reason winning over superstition.
