What nonsense is this. If people are willing to pay and do external higher education, what is the issue with it. These protesters are a bunch of Yahoos!!

Look why India is leading in science while we are rely on few individuals performances to say we are the best. Reality is we are far behind.

"Nehru’s vision of India was of a nation revived and rebuilt by science and technology, powered by the building of gigantic dams and atomic energy, connected by new transport infrastructures and developed by industrialisation. All of these projects required the creation of a new scientific elite – and the IITs would deliver them."
