This blog starts as n.155- Sometimes ago, in the West, specilization was looked upon as a meritorious acquirement; now it is realized that an expert in one domain cannot be a real export unless he is familiar wiht all that pertains to his subject. In India, however, the old attitude still goes on. Here an authority on a subject cannot see beyond his nose. His products rarely rise beyond the second-rate. Whereever there are exceptions, they are large men, masters of amy branches of learning, like C.V.Raman, the scientist
A German specialist in steel-making was sent forby the Government of India on a year`s contract. The planning officer had not marked out any work for him. After eight months, not even the foundation stone of the research insitute he was to organize had been laid. the man was compelled to idle. Tata-steel, seeing the situation, borrowed him to conduct some reaserches for them. In a conversation this expert said, "I am applalled at the Indian attitude to work. They do everything in a slipshod manner. Even the young scientists who are in training under me behave in this manner; they do not take pride in their job. If German steel mills were to function with this kind of peronnel, they would go bankrupt in six months."
