The bias wasn't slight -- in fact, it made it tougher to get through the whole article. It felt like the whole time I should be picturing the Indian flag waving majestically in the background, as India single-handedly picked itself up by its bootstraps and liberated its neighbors in wars of conscience, and literally rocketed itself into space, all via an army of Indian engineers (the gifted superior students), doctors (the snobby rich kids), and lazy good-for-nothing B.As. Viva India, who can do no wrong. Even when the article makes a minor allowance for less-than-stellar engineering performance -- why did it take longer than expected to develop nuclear power? -- the answer given is not anything to do with engineering, but only that Indians were too peaceful under Ghandi and simply didn't feel like going nuclear. I'm a big fan of India and Indian innovation and potential. I would just have liked to read a more balanced article that didn't bother with the nationalistic stuff. Viva Indian engineering in the 21st century!
