Science and Rationalists' Association of India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Science and Rationalists' Association of India (Bharatiya Bigyan O Yuktibadi Samiti) is predominantly a rationalist group based in Kolkata, India. It was established on March 1, 1985 by rationalist Prabir Ghosh, which happens to be the international rationalists' day. The association has prominent philosophers like Khushwant Singh and Paul Kurtz as its members, and preaches against irrational blind faith and superstition.
[edit] Challenge to miracle and astrology
The group offers a prize of Rs. 25,00,000 to anyone who can demonstrate "supernatural power of any kind" or make accurate astrological predictions/calculations under proper observing conditions.[1]. Many godmen and astrologers have accepted this renouned challenge and have been defeated.
