In India, I personally believe yes, there is a clear fear of unknown; there's a lot of risk aversions in science and technology.

Out of sight of the windows of sense,
Old riddles still bid us defiance,
Old questions of Why and of Whence.

As soon as science has emerged from its initial stages, theoretical advances are no longer achieved merely by a process of arrangement. Guided by empirical data, the investigator rather develops a system of thought which, in general, is built up logically from a small number of fundamental assumptions, the so-called axioms. We call such a system of thought a theory. The theory finds the justification for its existence in the fact that it correlates a large number of single observations, and it is just here that the 'truth' of the theory lies.
Albert Einstein
