T. Ravi said that the need of the hour is to establish many research centres so that the country can regain its lost glory.

Further, he said that the Qutub Minar stands testimony to the immense scientific knowledge of Indians as the building had stood for a long time without catching rust. Stating that the God Particle was spoken of by Indian scientists several years before, he said that Indians have forgotten their past glory because of years of slavery.

Former CM D. V. Sadananda Gowda also addressed the gathering.
