> full of either Brahmins or SC/ST thank you for bringing your prejudices here. do you have any numbers to back that up? > people who are recruited through references this need not be a bad thing ,which is why most companies have a internal referral program.

I thought I shall mail you instead but couldn't find a contact or any useful information on your profile page. Please walk into IISc and you shall know. It is not merely about the number it is about the people who would control the system. I agree the divide based on caste is gradually lowering however we are still not there yet. It is a fact that all of these research institutes are concentrated in the south - IISc, ISRO, DRDO (and the rest in CV RamanNagar, Bangalore) and casteism has always been the problem here. NASA has a large number of Indians. I am sure Indian Research would be in a lot better state if they evangelize and hire more youngsters. We definitely have a smart bunch of people in pure sciences than in business. Why do you think we cannot retain them here in India ?

  India will comprehensively prosper when 85% of all registered marriages are Inter-Caste or Inter-Religious.

  you are bringing up two very different things here. 1) you said IISC was " full of either Brahmins or SC/ST" , and when asked to back it up , you're saying "Please walk into IISc and you shall know". That means nothing. You can either prove it or you cant. It seems like you cant,so lets drop it. 2) "We definitely have a smart bunch of people in pure sciences than in business. Why do you think we cannot retain them here in India ?" This is a very interesting question to me. And it seems like you are playing a very important part in retaining "smart" people by organizing/being involved in things like Barcamp.in etc.
