Lead India....

Indian behind world's fastest microprocessor,Nobel prize for Indian origin scientist,India all set to take over the technology lead....India,India,India!!!!! Every time I see these headlines in the newspapers it gives me a false sense of pride that Indians are all set to take over the whole world.Well lets take a look at the ground reality.All said and done there's no denying that Indians are one the most intelligent people on earth,but where does this intelligence,creativity and zeal gets channelized to? No second thoughts, it gets transformed and merged with the "Great American Dream" of ruling the world all alone.

Dr.K R Sridhar, an alumnus of NIT Trichy and today making waves with his "Bloom Energy" is revolutionizing the energy sector in the US.Well there is always a counter argument that these Indians are doing our country by polishing "Brand India".

But then the technological,social and economic revolutions going on should translate into reality for the common man in India. Sridhar's Bloom energy should be able to light up houses as far as Dharbangha in Bihar or kutch in Gujarat. That light should get transformed into millions of slum dwellers in Bombay and Calcutta going to schools and make a career with the power of education.

Things are changing and I am an optimist.Everything happens for the good. Maybe days are not far away when the dream of every child getting his due education become a reality, every home in India gets power supply and every citizen gets a decent standard of living!!!

I can't agree with you on the statement that "All said and done there's no denying that Indians are one the most intelligent people on earth"

Evolution and change in our basic genetic sequences take hundreds of thousands of years if not millions of years. There wasn't enough time for Indians to evolve differently to have a different genetic setup to make them intellectual any different from any other being anywhere else.

What constitutes being intelligent? If we were that good , the results of the IMO http://www.imo-official.org/results.aspx should show India in atleast the top ten! If you scroll below, observe the performance of Iran to that of India. The Indian performance has been steadily decreasing as seen in the chart.
