Indian Political leaders hurrying to make big money in short time. Indian government (congress) wants to make a nuclear deal with US which may cost more than $100 Billion. This deal may help resolve the energy crisis by some extent and also fill some politician’s pocket. But why Indian government is not encouraging any Indian research organizations? If at least 10% (of $100billion) money had been sanctioned for research institutions in India before, then by now India could have developed many things indigenously. I worked in a research organization (Indian government) for 3 years. To buy an equipment of worth Rs100K, it took more than a year to get the money sanctioned (delayed because Indian government has no money). If the equipment had been purchased early then the research could have been finished early with better results. Many other research works have been stopped/delayed because of no funding (again reason being Indian government has no money for research). But how come suddenly Indian government has huge money to make this deal which costs more than $100 Billion. I believe that India has a better (more) talent than any other country. If the talent is harnessed properly and utilized, India can become a super power in less time. India need not depend on any country except for raw materials. The attitude of Indian politicians has to change. They should stop thinking of making money for themselves/party through such deals which hurts Indian talents. More research
