One of the misfortunes of India is Indians like Nascy who have never had any
attachment to their motherland or their fellow countrymen, let alone any sense
of pride, responsibility or duty towards them. In my opinion, along with
corruption and other ills, the disgraceful attitude displayed, time and again,
by these ungrateful folk is another major impediment to India's progress. What
is worse is that they have cultivated this disposition, not out of any real
knowledge or insight, but out of pure ignorance about India's history and its
contribution to world culture, art, sculpture, music, philosophy, etc, as is
clear from Nascy's boorish post appended below.
The post below and the earlier one by Jim makes it clear that their Indian
authors have never heard of 20th century stalwarts such as Srinivasa Ramanujan,
Chandrasekhar Venkat Raman, Satyendra Nath Bose or Prasanta Chandra
Mahalanobis. They have absolutely no idea what kinds of contributions are being
made as we speak by institutions like the Indian Statistical Institute in
Kolkata or the numerous outfits in India's own silicon valley.
Cheers,
Santosh
