US is loosing its educational edge to other Asian nations, and thats where you are wrong, not that I think U R pakistani.
Indians are lagging behind in educational field wrt China, and it seems they have no intention to catch up - Kapil Sibal or Kapil Dev, nothing doing.........IITs, IISc, IIM, NITs, AIIMS, ISI, JU, BITS, n JIS notwithstanding!
Education is a building block of a society, if left ignored, even the basement can collapse!

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.
