This film shines a light on the current status of scientific research in India. The film consists of a series of interviews with various members of a scientific group in Punjab university conducting research on particle physics using a particle accelerator which belongs in a museum. It touches on various topics of significance like the inequitable distribution of funds and equipment among various universities in India, the lack of emphasis on scientific collaboration among universities and scientific institutions in India and the general apathy of the government when it comes to prioritizing scientific research in India.
The film also depicts a piece of scientific history which would be unknown to most people. Who knows how many such gems are hiding, tucked away in corners of this country.
This film will be an eye opener for many people on how scientific research is still being carried out in isolated pockets in India with outdated equipment, poor funding and subject to the whims and fancies of politicians and bureaucrats.
