The bias is against Indian scientists … They get dismissed as “outlandish” because an Indian is not supposed to know better than a white westerner …
Remember back in 2007 an Indian economist Raghuram Rajan warned US economists about an impending financial meltdown that was about to happen. Larry Sunmers and other Western economists and Nobel laureates dismissed him as a “fearmonger” out of his depths in their august company. One year later in 2008 the US economy crashed and took down the world economy along with it.
The western academia and intelligentsia doesn’t realise that they ignore the Indian intelligence and wisdom at their own peril.
