I doubt if ever we have developed a full package or application software without which some other software can't function. We may be coding some lines of code everyday for our companies who in turn sell it as part of a package. In the IT field nothing original has been done from india. Can you give me the name of a language, an application s/w that is platform independent or operating system or database or network protocol or even a browser? No you can't. Beacuase of this we are in the habit of working on languages of Western contries. We are code coolies working for a few biscuits. The Chinese are now almost developed and testing their own Network Protocol and counterpart of Internet. Just try to get in the Chinese web sites. You will feel a whole world of difference. Also, they have got their own Unicode Character set and trying to develop ASCII equalent CHAR Set. Why are we closing our eyes from reality? We do not create wealth. We have slave menatlity form ages. Do we make anything at all except code a few lines like slaves for the West? Do we have a processor, a monitor, a mouse or a keyboard atleast that we have a patent on? Do we have any programming language that is purely indigenous?
