Our Mission

The aims and objectives of this programme

  • Making people scientifically aware by analysing supernaturalism, theism, the doctrine of incarnations, fatalism and all the superstitions that emanate from these from a scientific outlook.

  • Upholding the need for launching movements aimed at removing obstacles in the way of making the contributions of science accessible to the masses, by putting an end to the stranglehold of minorities on the contributions that are relevant to the material life of the masses.

  • Providing encouragement to evaluate everything related to material existence from a materialist philosophical and scientific outlook.

The Programme

1.1. In order to achieve the abovementioned objective, the need of the hour is to make the masses conscious about the reason behind the perpetuation of supernaturalism, superstitions etc. and upholding the need to mobilize movements to uproot these.

1.2. In spite of scientists uncovering truth wrapped in falsehood in the forms of supernaturalism, mysticism, the cult of incarnations etc., despite witnessing the contributions of science in agriculture, education, healthcare etc., supernaturalism and superstitions linger among the masses due to the general observance of traditional familial and social rituals, state patronization of religion, religious myths, fables and that of religious authorities, propaganda in favour of related falsehood through attractive writings in school texts right from kindergarten, as well as propaganda vended by eminent intellectuals and teachers of science, etc.

Hence, it’s incumbent to raise demands for cessation of state sponsorship of religion, for barring state leaders from openly patronizing religion and religious guides, for removing (expurgating) attractive writings on supernaturalism, theology and founders of religions.

1.3. To uphold the idea of separation of religion from state by debunking the perverted notion of secularism;this is so because at present what is meant by a secular state is one which treats all religions alike and patronizes them all. Acceptance of this idea is tantamount to accepting the validity of theology and supernaturalism.

1.4. Re-propagating texts refuting religion and theology written by eminent bourgeois and socialist intellectuals from 19th C onwards or publishing and publicizing new writings with quotes from those texts. Exposing those who oppose materialist philosophy, in spite of having refuted religion and theology.

2.1. Refuting religious falsehood by bringing to the fore the historical events highlighting the forward march of materialist rationalist philosophy from the European Renaissance in 16th C onwards, overcoming the opposition of theology and theocrats.

2.2. Showcasing before the masses the ideas and discoveries of the individuals and events who/that made original contributions to the development of science and mankind like Rene Descartes(1596- 1626), Isaac Newton, Industrial revolution, French revolution, Hegel, Darwin,Pasteur, Saint Simon, Robert Owen, Karl Marx, Engels etc.

3.1. Exposing the essence of State and religion by bringing to the fore historical events illustrating the integral relation between clan leaders (kings) and religion and the historical reasons behind the emergence of various religious ideas.

3.2. Exposing the strategy adopted by priests of obscuring the material and worldly life of Jesus and resorting to miracle-making tricks in order to perpetuate supernaturalism. Investigating the mystery behind the tricks performed by theocrats and exposing them publicly.

3.3. To expose, on the basis of facts, the truth that the roots of blind beliefs and superstitions lie embedded within the existing system based on class exploitation and propagating it through speeches, literature, plays etc

3.4. Exposing prophesy, augury, palmistry and the trickery of astrologists who deceive people by asserting that planets and stars influence human life as well as opposing state patronization of astrologers.

4.1. To demonstrate the fact that the discoveries and inventions useful in material life remain inaccessible to the masses due to prevalent commodity economy, through elucidation of capitalist economy.

4.2. To reveal in public the intrinsic connection between commodity economy and the efforts of environmentalists to publicize the negative aspects of global warming, nuclear power etc.(sometimes groundlessly).To expound clearly the natural causes of global warming and highlighting the scientific endeavours to bring the unnatural causes under the sway of natural causes.

4.3. To support the deployment of nuclear power to satisfy social needs, on condition that tight security measures will be ensured and to demand banning of deployment of nuclear weapons for mass destruction.

4.4. Opposing deployment of scientific inventions and discoveries in mass coercive activitiesand their misuse.

4.5. To oppose scientific research in the interest of commodity economy and the complete domination of the research fields by monopoly capitalist companies, engaging in movements demanding takeover of the research fields by the state, and granting opportunity to scientists to conduct independent and unrestricted research.

5.1. Demanding deployment of related scientific innovations for dredging rivers and lakes that have been silted up, and supply of purified drinking water and water for irrigation.

5.2. Demanding scientific education and health infrastructure for everyone.

6.1. In the existing capitalist society, human beings are divided on the basis of class and not on the basis of religion and caste-creed. They are split into two classes-the class of the owners of the means of production and the working class engaged directly in production on the basis of wagelabour.The intermediate class is the petit bourgeois class comprising the intellectuals engaged in various services (administrative, educational, medical etc.).Apart from that the huge number of working people engaged in the unorganized sector belongs to the working class in the larger sense. People subscribing to various religious beliefs and belonging to various castes and sub castes (the so called upper and lower castes) are part of the aforementioned classes.

To elucidate this truth with the help of economic facts, delineating the historical origins of the classes and explain the political motive behind artificial split on the basis of religion and caste.

6.2. To oppose the culture that aids and supportsreligion, casteism as well as feudal and capitalist economy and to work in favour of and uphold the culture that aids and supports the ascending progressive economy.

6.3. To highlight the historical roots and class basis of discrimination in rights between men and women in patriarchal society and depriving women of their right to property, and explaining the reason behind point by point gender equality in working class families (both engaging in production on wage basis, the earning ability of both and their participation in class struggles, etc.).

7.1. Through the ages, struggle of the masses for material progress has been the principal source of scientific discoveries, inventions and innovations; conversely, these discoveries and innovations have encouraged people to wage struggles for a society free from exploitation and discrimination; science and such struggles are integrally linked.Mass movements with a scientific outlook infuse a scientific frame of mind in the masses.

7.2.Therefore, the organization ‘Bigyan Manashko’ will strive to perform its commenced tasks by linking itself intimately with mass movements; i.e., will continue to perform the tasks it has undertaken by uniting with mass organizations that hold the same reasoning and viewpoints.

8.‘BigyanManashko’ would endeavour to mobilize issue based movements with platforms that share its views and will strive to build joint platforms on the basis of an identical programme.
