E Book 206 बोध अंधश्रद्धेचा ४ . पान २२५ ते २५४ पर्यंत परि ४- ३६ ते ३८ If you do not agree with Dabholkar’s view of your reason for insisting on a very large number of samples, I will be expecting you to write a letter to him, endorsing a copy thereof to me, withdrawing your reliance on him for exposing the Nadi ‘hoax’ scientifically, in view of the fact that he has no clear or proper understanding of the scientific procedure of the investigating of the Nadi text. Moreover, he does not explain why he relies on 10 or 100 samples, which on his own view, facilitates fraud, whereas, according to you, one or two thousand samples are required.

Under the circumstance, there is no other alternative for you as a scientist than to depute forthwith a person, whom you trust fully and who has the Scientific acumen and the necessary investigative skill, to undertake the task of testing the Nadi text with Scientific objectively, if you are not to lay your self open to the charge that you are avoiding the test of the Nadi text by putting forth insurmountable difficulties on theoretical ground for fear of facing the Nadi’s truth. The onus of proving the charge to be misplaced clearly rests with you. Supposing you undertake the test and supposing the results of the first test turn out positive, you bare free to follow it up with additional tests until you are satisfied to be entitled to draw the conclusion that the odds against the results turning out posi- tive are too heavy to be due to chance, after, of course, fraud it com- pletely ruled out. The next step in the investigation would be to find out the cause that produced these results.
