learnt to recognize and foster innovation and independent thought in
many fields. It's simple
Someone posted in this thread that very little Python is happening in this

Cannot agree with that comment yet, but this thread has no Python in it

Closing this thread. Further posts are - not welcome. And I request

Most Indian programmers were never supposed to be programmers. They
simply lack the cognitive skills required to be in the business. Yet
they are the ones who work for large/medium/small software service
