Yes, Japan and to some extent Taiwan do have excellent facilities. China has also made some progress in improving their

education sector. Nevertheless, US remains the educational superpower of the world.



India should have a coherent strategy in the education sector. That strategy should remove the serious weaknesses that

bedevil Indian manufacturing in the civil and military industrial sector. It is not necessary right now to do research in

fundamental Physics areas since I do not expect any significant progress in such areas any time soon. I am thinking of

subjects like Quantum Mechanics and its applications in fundamental particles and cosmology when I say fundamental

Physics areas



The strategy should be to have a chain of research universities funded by MOD and private sector which specializes in

materials, condensed matter, laser-matter interaction research. It is, for example, essential to study the properties of materials in extreme temperature and pressure conditions. Knowledge of such properties would immediately help improve

the design of the Kaveri engine. It is a pity that such a strategy has not been followed.

American education is faltering, and its not me talking, it was Clinton b4 and now its Obama.

Fact: Half of Ph.D.’s in engineering in the U.S. are foreign students. U.S. production of domestic engineers is far behind China, India, European Union. One of the most productive (per population) is South Korea. China produces 4 times more engineers. South Korea produces as many engineers as the U.S., although it has 1/6th the population and 1/20th the GDP.

Harvard, Yale, MIT wont count, Its not machines, its always been a man behind the machine - and more than Americans, its foreigners who are taking the best advantage of these tools, while Americans are loosing the edge to Asians.

As for India, it will always lag behind China-US-Japan_west because we lack a dynamic leadership who would not take the bull by the horn. Congress with its firangi as the de fakto head of state who is busy stashing all the (Indian) wealth to European continent - A Robert Clive in the making.



Tardy progress is all we get, and will be so 4 the long time 2 come......wishful thinking apart!
