While India is one of the poorest countries on the planet, and spends less than 1% of GDP on science and technology, India also produces largest number of engineers and a large number of science graduates every year. The country has more than 3million employed in IT jobs (not callcenter/BPO). India's space program is quite developed and ISRO's track record is not too bad. And yes, India produces more than enough food to feed its populace and more. The issue is one of primtive distribution chains, bureaucratic apathy and corruption. Foreign aid do not address these issues and is very meagre compared to India's GDP and government spending power. India needs to reform from within and that is a cultural journey.
