Bad Science or Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that are claimed to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method, and often promoted as legitimate science.
Bad Science is deep-rooted in Indian culture and part of daily life. Some people passionately promote it out of ignorance, some others simply believe or follow out of fear. Bad science-driven practices are often associated with the wider culture or nationalism which boosts these practices.
Badscience.in is a non-profit voluntary group that attempts to debunk pseudoscientific claims from all fields of science. In addition, the website intended to act as a whistleblower for flagging up pseudoscientific related scams and frauds.
Debunkers, Mythbusters, and Sceptics are welcome to contribute. Particularly welcome subject matter experts who can help debunk pseudoscientific claims in their fields!
