How science and technology change your life in feature and in these condition what have to do India?
Scientific research, for example, has shown that prolonged exposure to certain substances, such as asbestos, are dangerous to humans in that they are carcinogenic (i.e., cancer-causing). As a result, houses are no longer insulated with asbestos products. In India, however, certain companies are still hiring workers who have to handle asbestos on a daily basis, breathing in the stuff every single day. The scientific findings showing asbestos is a dangerous substance, particularly in the way it is handled by these workers, should be used to stop these practices. Even though the science is solid, it sometimes takes a long time for scientific findings to benefit people in the real world, because it gets in the way of business, profits, and politics (these workers would probably be out of a job if the company stopped these practices). Of course, the fact that many of these people are likely to die early, agonizing deaths from cancer is overlooked...
