I don't think Indians invent less. Check how many British and American scientists and inventors have a Indian name. The problem is the migration of qualified people.
Besides, most of nowadays ideas in physics have been highly influenced by Hindu philosophy.

Seemingly Indians invent as much as anybody else.

There has been no comparison studies, so nothing can be said with certainty.

Hi All,

Don't like the answer choice in the poll.

What I do know is Indians do brilliantly in Mathematics. Satyendra Nath Bose gives his name to Bose-Einstein Condensates and Bose-Einstein Statistics. Maybe it is more economical to purchase a pencil than a Linear Collider and go to expensive Institutions.

I think it is correct that often they leave home and are snapped up by the US and other countries.

I think aside from that there are those cultural values such as the way they traditionally treat widows and women in general and the caste system that is holding them back. It is inappropriate in the 21st Century. In most other ways they have a head start.

Cheers

Thirty-five year old Harihar's life changed after he and his wife were tested HIV positive in 2007. His inability to work put severe financial pressure on his family. However, UNDP's support in extending social protection schemes to PLHIV, has helped people like Harihar secure a future for themselves and their families.
