Frankly, these books should be of little more than academic interest. One way or the other, it doesn't make a difference to present-day ground-realities. At best it might make Indians feel good and at worst, it might be used by jingoistic nationalists to whip up communal passions.

Besides, if one's grandfather was a Nobel laureate, there is not much point in one proclaiming it over and over again, like a broken record. Unless one gets off his high-horse and actually accomplishes something on his own, there is no chance that he will be able to command any respect.

I wonder why Indians keep looking so much into the rear-view mirror. Is it because the view in front of them is nothing to write home about?

Dipy.
