Va Shiva:-
Dr. VA Shiva Ayyadurai, born in Bombay, India, grew up in the small village of Muhavur in the state of Tamil Nadu in India, hearing the stories of heroes of the Ramayana, where good vanquishes evil, from his grandmother who was a Siddhar and farmer. When he left India, his goal was to one day return and free his people.

What happened to him is just tip of the icerberg in CSIR.
"My outcry as a result of this shocking news. I'm frustrated with the way system (Research organisation like CSIR,DBT,DST,ICMR,BARC,ICAR & DRDO etc...) has been placed and functioning.
Country once a cradle of civilization and rich land of innovation and creativity for thousands of yers but now bureaucracy,caste system, shit politics,ill-adapted standards,nepotism suppressed the freedom for innovation and totally changed the ecosystem to do scientific research and innovate for masses.
Just look at the indicators WEF Innovation index (41),Global competitiveness index (59), Cornell-INSEAD & WIPO study Global innovation index(66). Almost in all parameters we are way behind the BRIC, Emerging &Third-world economy.
There is no issue with economy or lack of funds to support but its in people's mind/cultural shift. We need a systemic revolution to change the ecosystem.We need a radical rethink in recruitment of scientists & technologist,research freedom,HR investment,entrepreneurial funds,Incubators,system of accountability,value creation strategies etc.Truly, we need a disciplined person or community (patriotic)who love his/their motherland & passionate to innovate for people of India. Once, my guru Sir Ken Robinson told that "Current education system squanders creativity and modelled on old industrial age of doing things".
