C N R Rao not alone in his anger
Chintamani Nagesa Ramachandra Rao was ‘surprised‘ at receiving India’s highest civilian honour ‘Bharat Ratna’ last week. What pleasantly surprised the rest of the scientific community in this country was his vocal outpouring at the state of science funding in India. Though Rao has always advocated more funding for science and rued the lack of a strong science leadership in India, his current outburst calling politicians ‘idiots’ who have not given this country’s scientists their due, is the most scathing on the country’s science bureaucracy.
