Shraddhanjali to Shri. #RoddamNarasimha . May he attain Sadgati.
Apart from all his scientific achievements, and establishing #NIAS, he was responsible to call out a crucial difference between the fundamental thought difference between the West and India.
Panini’s Ashtadhyayi, Brahma Sutra, Dharma Sutra are all fundamentally Sutras. Many Shastras explain reality in Sutras.
Fundamentally, it is about a collection of rules that are loosely coupled using principles rather then being tightly coupled.
+
When tightly coupled the rules morph themselves and become an indistinguishable entity of a bigger reality called Model - which is the western way of thinking.
He called this out as a chief difference between India and the West answering Needham’s question.
#Roddam#RoddamNarasimha was a genuine intellectual apart from being a Scientist. I had the privilege of listening to his lecture on this topic in Neenasam in Kannada and then subsequently at another place in English.
Unfortunately, this line of thought didn’t progress
We ought to figure out how to blend the Sutra and the Model in a harmonious way. That, arguably, is going to decide whether we will stand on our own feet firmly in the future.

What are the deep reasons for India not producing great Programmers/Software Engineers in large scale?
1. The foremost problem of not studying in one's mother tongue is a true and real problem. @sankrant has already elaborated that over and beyond the context of SW Engg.
1/n
There are other contextual problems.
2. The most astounding and unfortunate reason is that there is not enough emphasis on Foundational Skills. The importance of subjects like Data Structures and Algorithms has weakened significantly in Engineering curriculum except the top
2/n
3. In Data Structures and Algorithms, students must solve a lot of problems of varying degree of complexity. That builds a perspective of Computation. Leave alone many problems, these two subjects have been completely dumbed down.

"But his sense of loyalty towards Hastinapura and securing the future of his son Ashwatthama, a friend of Duryodhana, stay ahead as priority than Universal Dharma"
