[Read till the end. This post ends interestingly 😏.]
So there's this bias in the Indian academic community against publishing papers in Indian journals (to the extent that those who do this are "punished" when it comes to job interviews and promotions 😅!). I personally didn't understand these things at the time and quite happily published a paper in the journal run by the Aeronautical Society of India in 2011.
Couldn't help but chuckle to myself when I found that a US patent this year cited this paper (👇) 😁.
Folks within the country won't publish useful results in our own journals, they won't read our own journals, they'll scowl at those who don't have this bias against ourselves, but someone in University of Southern California finds a paper published by an Indian in an Indian journal useful.
Cool 😁.
PS: There ought to have been no need for such a post 74 years after independence.
