India has the potential to be a huge player in the high tech arena of the future. On par with China. They have been very strong on the software side, but to be in a position to direct their own course they need the hardware/manufacturering part of the equation as well. If they don't, China will call the shots for them. For some reason now seems to be just a great insertion point in time. All part of the "Perfect Storm" mentioned by gilver. I hope India will step up to the plate on the World Stage. Its all about collaboration. IMO, and GLTA.
