Jetsetter500 & Motiv8er: India and other countries in the region would have been a stronger force had the British not looted this region for centuries. Pray tell me was Japan and China influenced by the west? I never accept westerners looking down on me and never will as I know I am better than many of them even though my backside is not covered in white skin. I hold my head high. Yes, the westerners have been pioneers in many fields and this is because people from Asia were not allowed to rise up and show their mettle when they were being ruled here. It is only when the westerners packed up and left ( or got kicked out for that matter) that local talent came to the forefront and the west began to see the rising powers of Asian countries and the latent talent they have. As for the degree, it is just a piece of paper. Whether it carries the name of an institution from the west or one from Indian the sub-continent hardly matters. At the end of the day, it is the knowledge and know how in one's field that counts. As for the language that we are using to communicate, this has just become a common medium now, a fallout from the years of domination by the west. In Japan and China and S Korea to name a few countries, all educational and vocational courses are conducted in the local language. The "best" from the "west" did not have any influence there. Just for your information, the Indian Prime Minister Mr Modi the leader of the world's largest democracy, hardly speaks English. The president of China and the PM of Japan hardly do, let alone our friend Kim of North Korea.
The aura the westerners carry that they are super in everything and better than the easterners, is rapidly fading away. It is just a matter of time now and the clock is ticking away. If you find this difficult to accept, just gulp it with a pinch of salt.
