The main reason is poor discretionary net access. Its is incredibly hard to be, say, a KDE developer when you have very unreliable, expensive and slow dialup net access. Most FLOSS developers start with fast connections from the universities, and then supplement their home net connections (fast or slow, whatever) with their net access at work.
When you don't have fast net access even at university (let alone the ability to host huge, high-bandwidth CVS servers like KDE did for a long time), it becomes really hard to even access free software and updates, let alone become an always-on developer.
Don't underestimate the Internet as the collaborative device that allows free software to happen. As net access becomes better here, you'll see more Indian FLOSS developers.
A extremely stretched attempt to prove I don't know what.
Some of the urban private institutions have the most modern equipments and expert doctors, while the government run hospital are scraping for funds and facilities.
There are Govt-run facilities, most of the time they work pretty well, and charge rates that poor people can afford. Unlike privately funded facilities that they cannot, by the standards of any country.
GROWING MENACE OF INDIAN EXPANSIONISM
Whatever you think of recorded Indian history, it's quite telling that you left out the last bit of the piece that you quoted:
Long Live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism !
Long Live the Great People's War!
Long Live the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement !
Long Live Proletarian Internationalism !
Using the propoganda website of Maoist separatist groups is a bit disingenuous.
You're technically correct when you mention the denial of Crays to India for weather research never happened. It was India's ISRO (space research) that was denied Crays.

I am sure you are pissed. However your 'facts' and arguments are completely false.
I don't know why you felt the need to prove this, but you're still a long way from doing it.
Re:Valgrind and memory leaks

KDE 3.0 is Out

You must have a very consistent object ownership and ownership transfer policy. In a codebase as large as KDE+Qt+other 3rd party libs, the ownership issues can get distorted out of proportion. More so because of the asynchronous event-driven nature of GUI programming.
That said valgrind is a killer tool and I think with a little more work, will give most commercial memory checkers a run for their money.
