Dear Mr. ANU MALIK
by Rajesh Shetty on Jul 02, 2008 09:18 PM

I agree Mr. Annu Malik, that we have not given anything significant to this world from the past 200 yrs, in which U.S has given so much. While agreeing cent percent that what u r saying is true, you should also agree that this present Indian status is bcos of our 'slave mentality' that we practiced over the yrs. Only fascination abt everything American is not going to bring abt changes in our country. From ages we were looted by external aggressors bcos we were not united. So poverty and population have become the biggest hurdles in our growth. And even though things are changing, we still have a long way to go. 5000 yrs ago we gave the world zero, astronomy and so many ancient marvels. But we did not propagate this knowledge amongst ourselves. So this crab mentality proved to be our downfall. So today we are neither basking in Indian glory nor Western. And our govts have not invested much nor encouraged scientists, so we have not produced many good ones. And remembers all those IIT'S which came out from our stables, they only complained abt India, did nothing here, and packed off to U.S. They forgot that IIT was bcos of Indian's tax payer's money. When talented people just turn their back to the nation, it can hardly produce good results. So we have to be satisfied with Sameer Bhatia's, or Narayan Murthy's
