Goanet has been used by both right wing and left wing ideologues, such as apologists for colonialism, anti-scientific and anti-establishment activists, anti-capitalist or communist ideologues, religious chauvinists, communal propagandists, and promoters of alternative medicine and other superstitious and New Age practices, to spread the following myths:
1. That we Indians were better off when we were under colonial occupation. 2. That we lived longer in the olden days. 3. That scientific progress and modern scientific medicine have not improved our lives. 4. That ancient superstitions, faith-based nostrums, religious rituals and paranormal practices were better and more effective than modern scientific procedures. If you want to visualize how an exquisite 4-min presentation of hard facts explodes all these bogus myths in one go, please watch the following video: http://tinyurl.com/ExplodingGoanetMyths Cheers, Santosh
