RE:Missing forest for the trees

Most of your examples are exaggerated. Probably they are also generated by this hype the IIT and IIM machinery. Even if I take all of them as true for argument sake, they are all in US or working for the development of US. And thats the point, I am making if you can read carefully. I know Indians are bright (I have seen that). But our education system (and that includes IIT) creates technical labour, not innovators, leaders and creators. And I am NOT SAYING Indians can never be. But on average we are not. So don't be a moron and quote few examples created in the US system. If you read carefuly, I said IIT selection picks smart people and they are bound to do well given an chance. But my point is they would do as well if they are given an degree without attending single class. Its not EDUCATION, its just SELECTION. If you want to prove me wrong tell tell me about original research papers/work from IITs, and not how well these people did in US. Even cab drivers from India did very well in US.
