Narayanee ji,
I am not defending anybody. Dr.Venky has acknowledged the Indian roots in public and also his teachers. I think we should appreciate his gesture.
At the same time, do you think he would have got the award if he has continued in India? Why non of the IIT's have produced a single nobel laureate. The Director of an IIT cannot get more salary than the Secretary of HRD Ministry of Government of India. That is why IIT professors went on strike recently. Our system doesn't encourage people to do fundamental research in science and other fields. Dr Venky and so many others have left India for good and continued their research at the more conducive environment & achieved their objectives. He has done his research in USA and Europe which has to be acknowledged by all of us. Those countries have spent enormous money and also created right atmosphere for his work. Lot of his students and others have supported him in his research which he acknowledged in his first reaction itself.
I earnestly feel that he is very modest when he acknowledged several other people and countries in his reaction to the award.
That is why, I said let us leave it at that.
All the best
