India Awaken

In recent times, there has been too much written about india. two article that caught my attention were in TIME. one was about INDIA AWAKEN and other talks about reunion of IITians in USA.
Succcess of IIT has proved India's calibre in producing quality engineer but when it comes to technological innovation , capable to change the world, we are far behind. i wonder why IITians get success in USA only and not in our own country? There could be number of reasons. Govt can be blamed for all that but we forget it govt only who started IIT and running it and who is the government , it people who choose them. so it comes back to people.
Success of IITian will help india to position it self as a future technology power but what about primary education, i think time has come when we should give more importance to basic education, rather than starting centre for advanced studies. if our foundation is strong , future will be stong too. students from rural india and public school in delhi give us contrasting picture of our education level. we need to bridge that gap or else whole generation we will left behind in our race to progress.
