Why Venky Ramakrishnan is great scientist

India's inability to absorb great brain is the gain for US. Indian brain drain even after 60 years of its independence is costing dearly.

It is not india's inability, it is the greed for more that drives people to developed nations, even after completing education they dont come back for the want of money

India should not take credit for Ramkrishnan's achevement. He is in an American citizen and credit must go to America for providing him dignified levelihood , intellectual and research enviornment and encouragement. If he had stayed back in India under discriminatory Connstitution and politically abused quota system he would have languished as a middle school teacher or a lab asst.

Raakshas, you mean, Nobel material, should be willing to work under nincompoops like Anbumani Ramadoss. You find Anbumani Ramadoss in walks of life, everywhere, spread throughout the length and breadth of our nation. For outstanding brains, it is impossible to work under iiddiioottss. The best remedy is to go to a place where you have academic freedom, where you do not have buffaloes breathing down your neck. But only brainy people will understand that. For ordinary folks they would appear to be "greedy". You know ordinary always remains ordinary and it can never come out of that ordinary shell.

He is no doubt a great scientist, but eventually he left his country and took oath and became an american citizen. If really someone wants to recognize than do it for people like baba amte.

Do not day dream. There are several greats in other community. Bengalis have more talent and greatness than you people. They already have 2 Nobel lauriates from WB and 1 from Bangladesh and 1 Oscar (which is solely received without any foriegn connection and for films not music!!). Just imagine how many they could have produced if Bengal was not ruined by commies.

Bengalis live in the past>.Tamilians live in rhe present and practical.tamilnadu is fast becoming thetechnogy of India. Chennai has become the Detroit of India.Their Techinical and IT skills are formidable Tamil Engineers will give a stiff competition to the Chinese.
Tagore is a Bore. If you want to go to sleep listen to Rabindra sangeeth which only Bengalis like as they love misery> They are pseudo intellectuals like Keralites. That iswhy these 2 states are not progressing

From all accounts, professor appears to be a human being first and then a brilliant scientist. Years of hard work has landed him a great honour anybody would be pround of. Real tribute to the American science environment that nurtures excellence irrespective of where a man comes from.

WHO IS HE?

Who is Venky? Why is that only a Nobel Prize is required to bring out his work? Even he said that "2 hours back I was nobody. So what is special about Nobel?"

I love his humility and his issue that Indian scientists are not getting their due credit just because they are not recognised by any foreign institution.
