Talent has to be first defined. There are some acceptable criteria roughly as below: 1. NObel award winners 2. Pulitzers, Booker award winners. 3. More olympic, tennis, Hockey, cricket award winners, 4. More diseaes erradicated. 5. Less poor hygiene related diseases. 6. More inventions and discoveries. 7. More revolutionery sofwares than pirates. 8. More cleaner air, water, less pollution 9. cleaner less adulterated food, 10 More discipline, less noise on roads etc etc etc
If any / all of these can be met and more then talent is there and it is showing. Where does India stand in these?

How many games have you played in your school? have you ever thought of making it a career? Dont tell me you have never used any pirated software. I hope you always follow traffic rules. In India you have people who would spit on the roads, throw garbage everywhere, break traffic rules.. but the same people would act like good citizens when they go to another country. It is this mentality of the people which is putting us down.

This list by Rajendra is much better than some unconfirmed 'statistics' about 30% of some company have Indian employees type of nonsense.

I agree completely... I remember an old phrase... India is not a poor country, the people who live here are poor (as in USELESS, especially the bureucrats and politicians)... thats exactly why theres such a huge brain drain happening in India... to hell with India if no one's gonna give fair recognition to the brain here...

Rajendra,
Try to understand TALENT and talent to get an award. If i teach you algebra and if you are talented then you can solve 1000 of problems but it does not mean that you can win a mathmatic award.
Indian do not get awards becuase they are not SMART rather they are intelligent.
Let me define, intelligent and SMARTness. If a value 1000 rupees notes and coins are scattered then a SMART person will lift up highest VALUES note or coin FISRT while an intelligent will lift up what he will get first.
Indians comes in intelligent field and all intelligent people are TALENTED. Do you know an indian guy developed a machine which saves 60-70% (mistakes regrated) LPG gas but he had not got any award. While a lady (writter of harry potter) has got so many awards what I thinks is non sense.
Invention of that (LPG) machine can our life better not stories of HARRY POTTER. But you know who got award.
So, dont compare TALENTS with awards. Both are different. Sometimes dumb person scores 70% by mugging up and gets award (practically dont know) while practical and talented person scores 55% becuase he can not mug up and can not write in good way.

Exactly, well said! Compared to the population, how many noble prizes Indians(living in India) have won?
