India has beaten the rest of the world by deciding to invest early on in education. Today India could be said the world's largest home to IT professionals, trained in those institutions build by the early investments in education.
India was a colony of Great Britain (GB), liberated just before something 80 years ago. India didn't want to wait to invest into its future, educating the massive young population in the cutting edge of technologies, most notably the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT), which were established in 1950. Those students came out of those top educational institutes and dominate now the world of IT, other engineering fields, among others.
Those students also went on and made India the 4th nation to land on moon, the first nation to land on the moon's southern pole. GB, the colonizer of former India has never came near to that title. Probably one of the great wisdom of our time, prioritizing investment in education.
In any of the top global IT companies, including those in AI, the name of many Indian citizens is right at the top of the executives.
I listened the speech of Indian PM, Mr. Narendra Modi, addressing the joint sessions of the Ethiopian bicameral parliament and impressed by the level of his wisdom. He repeatedly used Amharic expressions while addressing Ethiopian parliamentarians, he mentioned the names of more than 4 Ethiopian cities, he alluded to the role of Ethiopia as an ancient civilization, in ushering the dawn of freedom from the yoke of colonization, including his own and many more. As a leader of a super power giving due credit to the developing country's role in shaping the current and future landscape of the world is not very common, if any.
All in all his speech in the Ethiopian parliament is historical. A man of full of wisdom and great humble.
