So long bureaucrats call the shots everywhere and the country does not give right position, power and recognition to scientists and technocrats, Indian state would have no option except to conduct like beggars. And beggars can't be choosers, obviously. In all such deals, bureaucrats have their own interests. Scientic and technical development goes against them. This country remains firmly in the grip of self-serving bureaucrats and is destined to be insulted and humiliated by even very small countries. The self-respect is clearly distinctly missing.
