Lol, you must be joking, in fact it's the opposite. It's majority of Indians who are doing cutting edge research and innovating just look at what's going on any day in Silicon Valley or any top Universities. Now they are starting to do the same in their country while being creative with lost cost solutions.
- mruts 7y agoYou’re saying it’s Indians that are doing the majority (>%50) of cutting edge research? That’s just not true, even in the slightest.

EDIT: Since Hacker News won't allow me to post a reply. I am editing this post here. You misunderstood what he said. He said that "majority of Indians" are doing cutting-edge research in foreign Universities. Not "majority of cutting-edge research" are being done by Indians. Both have different meanings. Most Indians who travel to foreign countries get higher education grants/fellowships to work on cutting-edge research. Very few Indians actually travel for undergraduate courses. India has prestigious universities like IITs/NITs which are equal to and in some cases better than Western counterparts. The reason why Indians travel to Western countries for research is because of lack of research grants to carry out Scientific experiments that might run into many millions/billions of dollars. In other words, this is brain drain at its finest.
- mruts 7y agoDid you read what I said? An article from "Forbes India" about how there's 18 Indians doing cutting edge research is not related to what I said.
