Krishna Menon found that out long ago and set up 18 area studies centers in 1950s at many utys all over India with the idea that when India needed experts there would be Indians available. The scheme got sabotaged by MEA and UGC. MEA/IFS refused to use any academic expertise nor even give projects to be studied at these centers. The UGC with its Left bias ensured that only commie type studies are conducted so that they are useless and when the economic crunch came some of these centers were shut down or merged.
The real problem is there is no penalty for sabotaging or hindering India only munafa-he-munafa.
