Hi KC, It does look like RK Pachauri has a few notches under his belt & thats quite a good resume.
So, what makes him a non-expert? While it is possible that inspite of all these accolades, that his reasoning may still be at fault, but I think there are other reasons. And those reasons are (at least for some people), that SINCE RKP represents India, and since RKP is probably a successful product of the Indian Educational system, by default, it must all be bad. IMHO, the important thing is (how) does one make a determination who is an expert and who isn't? It may be an involved process, but the one thing that does need to be eliminated from that decision-making is where that candidate hails from. --Ram da On 7/3/07, Krishnendu Chakraborty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

But what is a typical "Indian Non-Expertize"? Does that include us NRAs/NRIs - after all, most of us did come from a Gauhati/Dibrugarh Medical College, IIT, IIM, Cotton/GU, or schools named after saints. And what about all those in India itself - that produce, desgn aircrafts, trains, other machinery etc. T And does that EXCLUDE select people from Assam? Frankly, the way you sound, it looks like India is full of idiots! :) --Ram ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address.
