Beejoo Brijwasi, Dr. A.T. Kovoor was a rationalist, born in Kerala, to Christian parents, later migrated to Sri Lanka. There are not many Muslims in Sri Lanks and it seems that Dr. Kovoor was not very femiliar with the religious text or customs of Muslims and as such he did not comment on them. He was mainly interested in exposing fake godmen, godwomen, charlatans, etc and proved that there are no super natural phenomena.

This only means that you are keeping bad eyes on those women who are not wearing burqa. First clear your mind. Don't think that all are like you who always abuses other's mothers. In Hindu culture "Other's wife is like your mother" is the tradition.

If he is what you have described, then he should be a great man. But it does not seem logical that he is unaware of Islam. In Srilanka there are many muslims. he should also be reading news about India.

Dr. Kovoor's main aim was to enlighten people and teach them to go by reason and scientific verification. He was born at Tiruvalla in Kerala, (South India) on 10th April, 1898 in a Christian family. His father was Rev. Kovoor Eipe Thomma Katthanar, the Vicar General of the Mar Thomma Syrian Church of Malabar. He completed his basic education at the Syrian Christian Seminary in Kerala and and received his higher education along with younger brother Dr Behanan Kovoor (who was at Yale University and United Nations), at the Bengabasi College, Calcutta, where he specialised in Botany and Zoology. He was the only scientist in Asia took part in an expedition to the Indian Ocean along with other scientists at the invitation by the " Ernst Haeckel Ecology Center" of U.S.A Dr Kovoor was very much attached to the rational teaching of Buddha because Buddha was a great social and religious reformer of India, rebelled against Hindu dogmatism and taught a more rational and tolerant philosophy than any others. He disregarded his Christian faith and tradition as he couldn't accept the Bible as the word of an omniscient god. As he gradually matured he became a free thinker and adopted rationalism as his philosophy. He passed away on September 18, 1978 in Colombo, Sri Lanka at the age 80
