The Indic Civilization is in the process of repair after grevious damage some of it self inflicted.
if you meant buddhism and a very strict discriminatory version of caste system, then i agree.
What has been done for 1000 years cannot be undone in 50.
yes. but why did we just rot for 1000 years??? thts a long time to allow things to slide.
In the process of this decay we have forgotten elementary things like reading ,writing ,decency towards fellow human beings ,maryaada, learning to think for ourselves.
we should have had a bloody freedom, not a "bhiksha" freedom. half the problems you and mitradena mentioned would have been adressed by now. india is the only country where "pride" is a 4 letter word.
We have to relearn basic skills and learn to crawl before we run again all this takes time.
50 years is a long time in the scientific world.
trust me, i know what i am talking. and but for nehru's blind aping of soviet tactics we would have lots of inventions in the past 50 years too. indira gandhi actually tried to correct the istakes, but rajiv gandhi spoilt it all.
What are your goals forthe Indic civilization and what are you doing personally to achieve them .write it down and present it . You may be surprised and may inspire some of us
do you want a detailed answer to this???
lets just say, i started this thread for i am well aware of this problem - cause, effect and possible solutions. i was fortunate enough to learn about the main complaint of indian scientists, (from the horse's mouth, many horses), lets also say that i am very young yet, and again am fortunate enough to have met at least one guy, who has a patented product and is comming back to india soon to launch his product. i cant change things alone, but what we'd try to do, sooner or later, is to set a trend - to become an example that others will take to... so that we change the way of thinking of the entire gamut of indian techies. to have western (or japanese) kinds of outputs, we must first learn to put in their kinds fo inputs.
