NOBEL PRIZE

NOTHING TO CELEBRATE
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Today the 9th of October 2009 there were contrasting news in most of the Indian leading news papers.

The first one is the sharing of Nobel Prize by an Indian born scientist with another two from two different countries. Congratulations to all three of them.
The depressing one was India could not qualify to be one of the 100 best universities of the world.
Indians are no less talented then others in the world. We complain about brain drain but we create a situation for it.
It’s an achievement of three people working together and getting the prize, one should not raise this dirty issue of Indian, German etc in science. Many of the brainy people have left Indian shore and have flourished, why? Because our system does not allow a person to do the same bloody thing in India!!
Let’s stop playing with our education system through political persons. Leave it to Ram, Krishna, Sens, Rays, Alams or Chandrasekhar’s.
When we are talking about humanity (which is all about Noble prizes) lets stop telling that an Indian has done this, may be after some days there will be celebration in TamilNadu. Instead of this too much Indianan’s, lets find out why Khorana in 1969, Chandrasekhar in 1983, Naipal in 2001 and now Ramakrishna who all received noble prize after leaving the Indian shore?? Why?
I would have been the happiest Indian had any of our Universities would have qualified to be amongst the best 50 in the world. The present celebration is like a person saying “see my Ex-wife is now a celebrity!!”
In cricket, Hockey and football where we have a foreign white skinned coach, same logic I can put here for the reason of getting a Noble prize, that we as an Indian perform better under the guidance of a white skin people
