One
look at our Mythology and there are several instances of people with
extraordinary intelligence & intellect, having gone over the edge
of sanity. Raavan is a great example of a person with immense
learning. He was widely accepted as a genius. But once his mind
wandered and went over to the dark side, it was game over. In more
modern times too, history is full of examples of extremely
intelligent and influential characters having crossed over to a dark
side of madness. Adolf Hitler comes to mind immediately.
The
same thing has unfortunately happened to Professor Girish Kumar. A
man of very high scientific learning, once respected by colleagues
and students alike at IIT Bombay; the professor's image now lies in
complete tatters. And not for anybody else's but his own fault, his
own self-made lies. Because if there is one thing people eventually
see through, is a web of lies. In Girish Kumar's case, the lies and
deceit is to such an extent, that people are completely fed up and
cheated.
Having
spread lies about the alleged harmful effects of cell phone
radiation; it has become increasingly clear to everyone from civil
society to even young leaders like Milind Deora; that all these lies,
and this so called crusade against radiation that Girish Kumar and
his daughter Neha Kumar have been running; has all been in a bid to
see the products developed by their own company, Wilcom Technologies!
Because
Wilcom Technologies makes Radiation Shielding products; it has suited
Girish Kumar very well to take advantage of his own status and
stature in the scientific community, and fool people by inducing fear
about cell phone radiation, using made-up and irrelevant statistics,
all in order to eventually sell his own company's products, as the
'perfect' solution to this radiation problem (one that he has himself
invented).
But
no lie ever lasts, and people in this case too, have realized that
the very basis for Girish Kumar's crusade, is false. It is a
redundant & moot point, because simplistically put, one does not
need any protection from harmless RF Waves; hence the question of
shielding does not arise.
Girish
Kumar may have seen moderate success for some time, but now he has
been exposed. His reputation, his image, is all torn in tatters. And
people know better than to believe a lying, selfish person out to
profit from his dubious campaigns.
