Summary:

"This article is based on the Presidential Speech by well-known physician, Dr BM Hegde at the 40th Annual Congress of the Indian Social Science Academy, held in Mysore, Dec 19-23, 2016. We are publishing the entire content of the speech in the light of the many brilliant and thought-provoking observations made on science and health but cannot verify all the statements made here by Prof. Hegde. We welcome a healthy debate on his ideas in the spirit of true enquiry to enhance our collective understanding of the themes he has addressed."
