If proof were ever needed that 58 years after independence ,we have not shed our colonial baggage , it is this latest report/hoax.Why does our press have to repeatedly and frequently hype some relatively minor achievement of persons of Indian Origin in the US and western world while ignoring far greater deeds of Indians on our own shores ?It is as if without the White Man's certification we haven't made the grade.The other issue is of course that winning awards /felicitations in these countries doesn't matter as much to India at all, particularly if they are citizens of their adopted countries, have settled down on foreign shores, and are contributing to their adopted countries , not to India.
