This idea was proposed by the character Howard Wolowitz in season 2 of the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory". Am sure this was "inspired" by it. Almost academic plagiarism since there is no citation to the original proponent.
Looking at his background phD candidate, academic et al (am from similar one) am pretty sure he is pretty keen watcher of the show.
District 9 was just a blend of an Apartheid/segregation movie with probably Independence Day. Also thrown in is the odd evil corporation. This does not maketh real scifi. Decent watch for CG et al but not going anywhere on the honors list.
Can someone point out one bit of originality in the movie?
Also lately hollywood has made the "evil corporation" theme very fashionable. I think most governments (ones even with a socialist bent) would function along very similar lines.
All engineering curriculum in India is taught in English so language should not be a problem. I believe the top ranked IIT's have exchange programs with US universities. I know a kid from Umass who spent a semester at IIT Delhi
The Same reason why us heartless americans dont provide basic amenities to blacks and the spend more than half of the world's defense expenditure on needless wars. Shame on us too.

I am glad someone is pointing this out. There are Bajillion fools out there calling themselves CS grads (even getting a degree in it) and doing IT.
And Some morons thought they could violate the First Law of Thermodynamics. PMM of the first kind eh!
