In India , "technology denied is technology gained"

 We all Indians are familiar with the technological breakthrough of India where , a lot of critical technology came into existence just because of efforts put in by some great scientists

Dr. Homi Bhaba , 
Dr. Vikram Sarabhai , 
Dr. Satish Dhawan ,
Dr. C.V. Raman , Dr. A.P.J. Abdul kalam etc....

There are following reasons why they were successful.

1. Attitude of taking many risks.
2. Focussed approach towards indigenous innovation.
3. Capacity of working in a group , both as a Team leader as well as Team members hours together.
4.Innate desire to envision INDIA as a Developed Country.

INDIA is a country which have undergone through many foreign invasions. The purpose of invasions were diverse. Some invaded the country for the sake of gold ,some for showing their might and extending the geographical boundary of their empire. Nowadays with the start of information era India is facing a new invasion from developed countries , The Invasion that restricts INDIA to prosper in terms of cut edge and critical technologies. The invasion is in terms of Technology Control regimes and many other..

CASE STUDY :-

During those early days of India's development towards space technology , it was denied with many things , for which India was in-need of. The most prominent example is Satellite launch Vehicles . But Our scientists took this denial as an opportunity towards indigenous innovation and development in our country. Their team work and endeavours lead to the birth of SLV which was indigenously designed and tested for accuracy.           

The one and only spirit that motivated them towards such development is the spirit to innovate , to develop something which is solely INDIAN and not dependent. Once INDIAN scientists achieved that breakthrough , they never looked back , but came out with many more indigenous designs and products like missiles , satellites , space research centres , satellite launching centres and many more.
Thus INDIANs proved in one way that  , for them IF SOMETHING IS DENIED , THERE IS NO DEARTH  OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE , THAT COULDN'T HEAL THOSE WOUNDS OF DENIAL and SO IS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY.   

Thus Technology denied is technology gained for INDIA.
==================================================

Now this is our turn , the turn of we engineers and scientists to contribute towards innovation , the innovation which will make INDIA self reliant in terms of technology. That will satisfy one goal of INDIANS to transform India into a Knowledge Society.
