What makes you Indians so technically sound?

It is the base really. Elementary school education in India still isn't dependent on gadgets or other novel ideas, but emphasises solely on books. Students are expected to learn the printed words. It is sort of hammered into their minds. So their fundamentals are pretty strong. Building on strong fundamentals is relatively easy. I might not have explained it as well as I would have wanted or you had desired. I would suggest you read the book "The Inscrutable Americans" by Anurag Mathur (Rupa Publishers). It will give you a better insight.

The point is that the Indian Education system, is quite rigid and if one needs to overcome the inherent flaws in the system, one needs to improvise.
Remember, necessity is the mother of all inventions.

One becomes so used to overcoming such structural obstacles, that applying logic and thinking out-of-the-box becomes the only way to survive. Tougher the challenge, greater is the determination to work harder because one realizes that one has very limited resources to succeed.

We have sufficient time to think & family security not to earn or run for money at younger stages.we are good Philosphers

Well it is the logical ability which has developed in our race and has been passed on to us by our ancestors who had a golden situation which has made us technically so sound even though we might not be living in such a technological age u are living in (digital divide)

To be fair, not all Indians are technically, sound. You only come across, the one, who come to your country. In fact very few percentage get to study higher education. We are agriculture oriented country, who are developing in technology, in recent times.. Till, around 70% of our population, is Agriculture based.

It's probably due to genetics and the community.

A semi-literate Indian is capable of serving a huge complex network of food delivery and laundry service with very good accuracy.

So I doubt that it's due schooling, or maybe it's due to the lack of schooling itself that cause it to be so efficient.

Anyway. Clarke put an Indian named Chandra as the designer of the HAL 9000, probably as a recognition of the Indian people's capability on technical things.
