Actually it was the late PM Rajiv Gandhi. He brought in the technocrats. He was the one who forced powerful vested interests in the system on the backfoot and shoved India on the road to modernisation. Telecommunications ( he forced the DOT to permit use fax machines !. It was ILLEGAL !!! until 86 afair ), Internet, computerisation. If it werent for him we would still be stuck with designing "modern" bullockcarts to the exclusion of everything else. We are where we are cause this man stuck his neck out. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
