These 'beautiful people' have internalised utterly moronic ideas about distribution without ever worrying about production, quality, or excellence. Which is precisely the reason why Indian education has, after Independence, produced nothing whatsoever -- yes, absolutely nothing -- of global calibre. Not one earth-shaking discovery or invention, not one outstanding theoretical insight!

There is simply no room for creativity or high-quality research. Anybody who dares to do path-breaking work will soon learn of the Great Man syndrome: All ideas must ipso facto come only from the director or department head; anybody who deviates from groupthink -- or refuses to toe the line peddled by their thesis advisor -- will soon find himself out on the street, without a dissertation, blackballed and unemployable.

manufacturing good workers than creative leaders is the weakness of this approach.
