Exactly!
"Bright minds" gravitate towards technical and medical areas because there is currently more money and job security in those areas. Not that these areas are inherently more important than other areas. We need "bright minds" taking over Indian humanties studies too. Otherwise western Indologists will keep on defining the rules of the game in concert with homegrown leftists.
For all the growth India is seeing due to technical advancememnts, compare it to the depredations caused by western "Indologist" dominated humanities. Indian socierty has been damaged very deeply by these insidious humanities "experts".
