All hogwash, and I suspect another way to deflect funds. There are several gaps: * how to ascertain that the participating companies from Blr, Hyd, etc. do not have their own agenda? Only if these companies are fully Indian, and have no contracts with any foreign client, will this idea of "our source code" is possible. * Govt to hire s/w engineers? BS, BS, BS - all they are going to do is have 50% reservation, and hire junk, and then tell that world that writing an OS from scratch is atleast a 10 yr. effort, and by the time 10 yrs. are over, no body is going to remember it.
