I recently came across a report on science in India, which I found to be
remarkably detailed and very encouraging. It appeared as a cover story in
the British journal Nature, Vol.308, 12 April 1984. It's especially appealing
to people who have been overseas for a while and are unaware of progress in
such areas as Antarctic research, ocean research, food research etc. The sorry
state of university science education in general, and the occasional success
stories (eg IISc, Biosciences at Madurai) are examined. On the whole, it is
positive and optimistic; it helps justify to me the expenditures on scientific
research (as in the old question: why are we sending up satellites when we
can't even feed our people adequately?)
