i don't think that just because we do well abroad, can all this be attributed to the tough education that we had here. the system in india teaches you to be a follower and not to be a leader. This is all inspite of and not because of the craaming that we do here. Thats the reason though we have highest no of engineers in US but are still not not a patch when it comes to original discoveries. A glance at the nobels in chemistry and physics would let you know that a small country like Israel has more to offer than just engineers who have been able to beat and survive the Indian education system to emerge victorious.

I agree with you ; the staunch supporters of the Indian system are those who work abroad.Perhaps the Indian schooling teaches you to survive in the heavy competing world. But where is the creativity ? I just don't understand comparing the Indian with the US Scool system , why not with the other European countries. The Americans live on the imported brains . If one really wants to improve education - one should respect the teacher - the teacher should respect the kid and his job - and of course a huge investment of taxpayer's money instead of cramming up Pythagorus theorem
