Unlike in the West where decisions about future directions of Science and funding are made collectively, in India the a few well-known scientists like Rao are powerful in the system and become de-facto feudal lords deciding on directions of the future of Indian science and scientists. Much of what they do is self-serving and stifles innovation and keeps young smart scientists away and sycophancy rules.
