The answer to this question was given by Jesus Christ in the following parable.
“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed,
- some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
- Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
- Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain.
- Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.””
( Mark 4:3-9)
Abhijeet Banerjee is not the only one who got glory because he went abroad.
In the 72 years of independent India, not a single Indian scientist or economist got Nobel Prize while working in India.
Even the best seeds need good soil to grow.
When
you have no respect for intellectuals and you declare any voice of
dissent as sedition, you can’t allow creativity and innovation to
flourish in your country.
As
long as people towing the official line are worshiped and rest are
declared anti-national for speaking what they consider truth, there is
no hope for any Nobel Prize in India.
