Science is simply common sense at its best that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.

LET'S OPEN UP ENOUGH OF PROTECTIONISM….

i don’t agree to the point of view that "HRD ministry is helping American universities to come to India and lure IIT professors into betraying their country." .. Why can’t we look at it this way that if foreign universities setup their "shops" (campus) it could help reverse brain drain or rather brain gain... and towards the point of luring IIT Profs. I think rather than being afraid of the wealthy giants we sud focus on making our facilities better and stronger so that we don’t lose out. I think we have had enough of protectionism policy, which was proved to be good at the time of independence... But now our country is more than 60 years old and our economy is capable of handling major recessions in the world... So, in my personal opinion it’s a time to open up take the world head on....
