USA was the only country that was materially unaffected by the first world war.

The entire youth population of UK and France was gone. Germany was bankrupt. And Russia was busy with a revolution.

So all of them turned to US for their economic needs.

Hence US was well on its way to becoming a Industrial and Economic Super power.

Then the Second World War happened.

The entire world turned against Nazi Germany and Japan.

And US was the Arsenal that supplied the world.

And when Pearl Harbour happened, USA for the first time was directly attacked.

Never before in the history of the world, did we see an industrial mobilization at this scale.

US made more tanks, weapons, ships and vehicles than rest of the world, put together.

The war saw massive leaps in electronics, telecommunication and computing

And from what was left, US also created the world's first Nuclear Weapon.

The world moved forward by 30 years, in those 5 years of war.

Post WW2, the accelerated pace of development sustained.

In 1947, thanks to the investment because of WW2, the Transistor was invented.

The invention of Transistor, ensured Technology could now be miniaturized and made accessible to the common man.

The invention of Transistor, made possible the invention of the modern Computer.

And because of the threat of Nuclear weapons, the US poured money to create a network, that will work even during a Nuclear attack.

That was called Arpanet.

It was invented in 1966.

Over the next 30 years, this metamorphized into Internet.

Thanks to the transistor and the advancement in Personal Computing, Internet was accessible to all.

The Internet exploded.

It now had hundreds of thousands of Web pages.

And two engineers decided to create an Algorithm to effectively search those pages.

It was called Google

It took two world wars, for the US to invent the transistor and Nuclear weapons, which led to invention of the personal computer and the Arpanet, which led to the invention of the Internet, which led to the necessity of a good search program, which led to the foundation of Google

And people want an Indian Google, straight off the bat.

For every one thing I have mentioned in this thread, there are 10 I have missed.

This shows how much effort and backing that was needed, over a period of 70 years, for a Google to come thru

Now you decide if India had that sort of infrastructure and background. And then comment
