Even a tiny nation like Singapore has a university among top 12 technology universities in the world because cutting edge research is conducted there but not one of our much vaunted IITs are even among the top 200 technology universities. The reason is not far to seek. The directors in IITs have more interest in research on the benefits of cow urine and sucking up to their political masters for post retirement benefits. Very sad to see the crumbling of educational infrastructure, standards and the extinction of academic excellence so painstakingly built up by erstwhile stalwarts such as Jawaharlal Nehru. But we are Vishwagurus OK? Don't question that.
