NRI funding wont help as the issue boils down to quo bono?
What is it in for them other thangetting a chair named after them. The NRIs didnt make their fortune doing business with India. On the contrary most of the folks I know funded and established US companies. Its only some of them are altruistic and lend their name to India causes. Unless the NRI makes his money from India there wont be an interest in promoting a poitive image of India through such studies.
<b>
As regarding 3., a reputed pro-deal scholar told me that GOI does not give audience to desi scholars. PERIOD. So being a desi India scholar expert is a sure road to poverty.</b> The babus have the old fears of subversion from desi schoalrs. They think they can pull wool over the foreigners but not desis. Anyway lets see what happens. Meantime what Acharya is saying is true even if folks dont like his message.
As great a scholar as Caroll Quigley has said similar things and now Kevin Phillips is also saying the same.
