Yes. Indians are smart. They have imported latest technology at higher rates and than reverse engneered it and are exporting it cheaply. The best example is Medical equipment that India manufactures. US fears are correct. India now has enought money to pour is R&D that it did not have previously. We can now pour money to do research and bring out new products and not import technology to reverse engneer like we did before.

As I said we have brain power but we are not using it anyways. Our smart engineers are doing maintenence work and there is almost nothing that we have developed which people around the globe are using except for Plastic surgery may be. It is useless to say anything of this kind.

What Obama fears, I suppose, is the increased focus on Indian companies where we are beginning to excel and make our mark in the Fortune list - Therefore, with the rise in Indian economy, though in patches, it surely will have increased spending on R&D which has begun to take shape in many institutions and corporates alike.

We have progressed quite a lot and have lots to cover to be at par with other developed nations. Yes, we are facing hurdles, but thats what makes success sweeter.

We all - each one of us - has to contribute in our own (and if possible, unique) ways to the development of the country. 

It's quite simple really. Each one of us should do our jobs to the best of our ability. All the major religious books, that I have read, say precisely this. 

If, during the course of your work, you think of a creative solution that helps to eliminate many problems at one time, you should do your best to prove to the management that your idea will help improve things. Go all out. Hit out or get out. Is that not what we say to our cricketers?

Be prepared to share with the management, the details of your idea, in a formal manner - say, using an MS PowerPoint presentation. Offer to do a test run if possible - if not possible, do your best to make possible. :D

This is what I try to remind myself of - as often as I can.

I agree with Sarabjeet Singh Johar. There are many smart Indians. 

Obama is no fool. We should take this as a challenge and produce world-changing technology and definitely push the frontiers in pure-science research.

I've edited this because I've just read this article:

http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-05-08/news/29520638_1_clean-energy-barack-obama-education-and-innovation

Actually, Obama's statement pretty much amounts to an open challenge to India & China. And I thank him for it.

I believe that he is right in saying that the future will be dominated by the winner(s) of this race for clean & green energy. And I say "winners", in plural, because there could be more be more than one solution.

I wish us all the best! :D

Something about India has been stroked in the mind of Obama, that is why he has said like that. Now India can not be sidelined or set aside. Something has made Obama to worry. Thanks for the referral Ms.Ruchi Chaela.

Difficult to put decision , what is real strategy /incidences ,at  global level difficult to say . One thing is sure U can make India developed ,only approach is that dedication for ur nation growth and strength . People will have to play tactics That Politicians who are ruling india should obey /follow citizens . just after vote and power ,to take decisions as per own policies will never support Nation to grow and develop.Look at govt officers and institutions  how efficient they work what they do for people of india through services( almost 60%). Brain drain in india will reduce ,almost 50% of Green card holders are returning t India and This situation will increase in nest few years .Its a indication .

India has to make Lot chage s in System , to come out as power ful nation .

US is big nation, technically advance ,they should not have comparison with India a very honest nation .

Thanks Ruchi 4 invite

You are absolutely correct.We have plenty of brilliance wasted just because of no correct opportunity.

As far as new technology is concerned,we could have done much better than any other country, but due to lack of resources,opportunities,no proper leadership to come forward- all these we could not do much about technology innovations.

One thing is sure that even if As Me. Obama said it now on emerges in US then also there will be a major contribution from Indians only.

US might be a money center but India and Indians have proved we will be knowledge super power whether accepted or not.

Just the only thing needed that we have to come out of the corruptions and other scms and purely concetrate on development.
