Indian Government falls for net hoax
Im sad! Im Shocked. Yesterday Times of India reported that 36% of Scientists in NASA are Indians. The report of the figures of Indian successes were given to the Rajya Sabha on Monday by D Purandeshwari, minister of state for HRD, in defence of the country’s higher education system and the state of research.
Everyone thought it to be the result of some survey conducted. Today Times of India reported again those to false figures as the Hon Minister of HRD got these figures from a Internet myth mail which has been circulating on the internet for a long time.
Pretty sad that someone who holds a high post can list of figures without any confirmation. This particular move has caused much crtisicm. The credibility of the facts that Indian govt lists are now seem doubtful!. Who knows whether it must be some fact a blog has listed! God save India!
