I don't think the issue has much to do with "Indians copying". The answer to the original question is simple: It's because India is a poor country with a broken education system, where society has not learnt to recognize and foster innovation and independent thought in many fields. It's simple economics: people in poor countries feel more "insecure" about their lives, and tend to choose the "safer" options. All independent thought/ innovation requires a time investment- and involves a risk. A risk people aren't willing to take. I don't think the situation is significantly different from so many other poor countries.
We are privileged to be educated, and we must use it for good. What can we do about the situation? Have productive discussions about the issues, and work towards rectifying them. I believe that education is one major answer to many problems. -- Artagnon (.com) _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
