As a young police officer, Satyapal Singh from Baghpat took a keen interest in all forensic reports. He often spoke wistfully about the M.Phil degree he had acquired in Chemistry, saying he would have been a scientist had he not cleared the Civil Services examination to become an IPS officer. He quite liked flaunting his knowledge of chemicals and the various processes.
Over the years, he developed an interest in vedic studies and took to organising occasional 바카라havans바카라 at police stations. 바카라He was a self-proclaimed Arya Samajist and pretty much unapologetic about it. We were definitely not surprised when he decided to quit the police force after nearly 35 years in service to join the BJP. There was always an RSS man hidden in him somewhere.바카라 This is what one of his colleagues from the 1980 batch tells Outlook. Singh claimed he was responding to his 바카라inner voice바카라 when he gave up khaki for khadi. In 2014 Lok Sabha polls BJP pitted him against Jat leader Ajit Singh, who was relegated to the third spot.
His dream of becoming a scientist may have remained unfulfilled but now, as minister of state (MoS) for Human Resources Development (HRD) in-charge of higher education, he sees an opportunity in dictating what others should study in science. He believes that Charles Darwin바카라s theory of evolution is 바카라scientifically wrong바카라 and should be changed in school and college curriculum across the country. The former Mumbai Police Commissioner pooh-poohs Darwin바카라s theory because he says nobody actually saw an ape turning into a man!
His logic has left many of his colleagues 바카라 some of them still serving in the police force 바카라 highly amused. 바카라So what is wrong with it? His police training demands there should be a witness for a crime. Without a credible witness, there is no case. So Darwin바카라s theory doesn바카라t stand a chance in front of SP,바카라 says his batchmate, laughing.
People who have known Singh closely are not really surprised at his passionate appeal to shun Darwin바카라s theory. As Additional DGP of Maharashtra 바카라 prior to becoming Mumbai Police Commissioner -- Singh had started a campaign targeting college students to break the myths around religion and create awareness about Vedic literature.
바카라He delivered lectures on spirituality and promoted Vedas as the divine order for world peace. Once in 2000 I heard him speak at an Arya Sammelan in Mumbai. He spoke about the Satyarth Prakash (written by founder of Arya Samaj Swami Dayanand Saraswati), giving the book generous credit for his expertise as a police officer,바카라 recalls another police official, who was Singh바카라s senior.
In fact, Singh himself wrote two books 바카라 one on tackling the Left Wing Extremism and the other a philosophical book called Talaash Insaan Ki. 바카라As the police commissioner of Mumbai, he got the book translated into Urdu because he wanted to target Muslim audience. The book was launched by Amitabh Bachchan and Javed Akhtar,바카라 the senior adds.
Singh바카라s subjects for his two books may be eclectic and diverse but a police official who served under him is convinced that the politician in him has completely eclipsed the logical cop. 바카라God save the education system under him!바카라 he exclaims.
