Developments in science and technology in the post-Independence period making India modern:

Further, Indian agriculture benefited from the developments made in the field of biotechnology, for which a separate department was created in 1986 under the Ministry of Science and Technology
- Industrialisation: Technological advances such as industrialization, railroads, gas lighting, factory systems, indoor plumbing, appliances, and scientific advances were rapidly made and these changes dramatically affected the way people lived and thought about themselves. One consequence was that people in industrialized areas thought of themselves as progressive and modern.
- Space exploration: The Indian space program has made a lot of progress. Indian Space Research Organisation achieved a lot launching remote sensing satellites since developing India’s first satellite—Aryabhata. India has achieved a lot in the field of communication by launching communication satellites. Mars mission, Chandrayaan mission has proved India a leader in space activities.
- Secular nation: Modernity is characterized by increasing secularism and diminished religious authority. India adopted scientific temper and secularism as a foundation of new India, and of dams as the temples of modern India. This Idea of India has rejectedthe opposite idea of what led to Islamic Pakistan. Tolerance and spirituality characterize the country’s rich culture.
