Dear Dr. CN:

I am an Indian (from Ramanathapuram district) who emigrated to US in 1979, and my kids are doing fine here.

The list of "Just 10 Indians" is good and encouraging... but this is out of about 3 million Indians who are here for a long time!

The record is not impressive at all, to me. Even if majority of this 3 million Indians do well here, what will this do to India, anyway?

For, India has 1200 million people. Even after 64 years of self rule, vast number of Indians are not educated beyond high school:

About 1110 million Indians have no high school education. Bulk of the economic activities lies with just about 10 million people who have a college education, who own and operate a car in India.

What good is it?

A very sad situation, in deed.

What say you?

:)

ps. Google "Education in India", go to Wiki write up and read Ref 5, a BBC Report on India for more information. Cheers.

Lament, and lament again.
Why can we not celebrate the success even for a moment, before this doom and gloom. I think being in perpetual funk is common in this forum. I do not know if that trait is common to all Tamil, or is it special for this forum.
