Revamping Indian Education

Why is it that the third world - especially India - hasn't shown facility with developing new technology? Have you seen as truly world class product come out of India? Something new? For all the talk of software, I haven't seen one program that I knew was made in India. Why do we sweat and toil for our white masters? Why this lack of prestige? My solution - change the system. Get top name professors from leading institutions like Harvard and MIT and Berkeley to relocate to Indian universities. Now I don't mean Indian professors - oh no. They're good, but we already have good Indian professors - and the systems just gets worse. We need western professors. We need to find out what they need to be willing to relocate. Less pollution, more facilities, whatever. We might have to design cities from scratch. But, it will be well worth it.
