Hi all,
I was wondering if the computing movement in India
has some sort of plan
for putting information on the web about computer
pioneers and leaders
etc in India or from India, who have done some
amazing things or are
Good idea - but we may not find too many names in the
list.
I know atleast 3 stories of great work done by
people of Canadian
origin(RIm-- blackberry phenomena, QNX real time OS
from waterloo univ,
APL or J by Ken Iverson) but very little about
Indian achievements
(except Vinod Khosla's being one of the 4 who
started Sun microsystems
and Sabeer Bhatia who started hotmail).
Can it be because there has been no great `Indian
Achievements' so far?
The germans,
italians, french,
chinese and the japanese and now even the south
Americans, Korean etc
take so much pride in being leaders in specialised
areas of the open
source movement whereas we don't hear much of our
pioneers.
How many `pioneers' do we have?
Makes me think of India's greatest contribution to the
world of mathematics ;-)
