Can India Become A Knowledge Superpower?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-think-about dept.

krsmathews writes " New Scientist, in its latest issue, has a special report on India. It provocatively calls India the next knowledge superpower, though in a introductory story the caveats are laid out. It's a reasonably comprehensive look at India's high-tech research, pharma, bio-tech, space, and nuclear industries. The U.S. R&D expenditure is bigger than the next five countries put together, and India is nowhere in the picture. "

    Tell that to the large communities of African Americans who believe in God and vote Democrat in their blue state homes.

    Tell that to John Kerry, Bill Clinton, and Joe Liberman.

    Hint: the party of the blue states are as much religious zealots as the party of the red states.
