It's not something you can force people to get into in their mid life. For a large part of my school life, I was fortunate enough to be challenged by various teachers (and seniors) to think differently (more about that in another post I guess). School is the best place for that, next will be college, but once you are out of that, life gets a little too serious for everyone to go back to develop such risk taking attitude.

Most of us do not have the urge to take the step forward or will to choose differently. Research definitely contributes to innovation. But the fear of failure makes both research and innovation tough. You know very well, I guess, that this is not a one-field problem. For the simplest of things, mavericks are considered more as outlaws. To do something differently on a larger scale, to TRY to make things better, will always meet with disapproval in this country at the outset, and it takes lot more than money and ideas to pursue that attempt. Sadly, the ones who possess that EXTRA factor tend to leave India. Indians are characterized by the need for security and insurance.
