- W3034605450 abstract "A new book called “The Technological Indian” by Ross Bassett, science historian and professor of history at North Carolina State University, traces the history of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) India connection. The fascination for MIT in the mind of the Indian technologist dates back to 1884 when the BG Tilak-run Mahratta newspaper carried excerpts from MIT’s annual report, headlining it “The Model Institute of Technology”. This continued through the 1930s and 40s when the country, in the throes of independence, was deliberating a still inchoate technical education model alongside a debate on what should be the appropriate economic structure for the country. It continued through the 50s and 60s when attempts to set up an “Indian MIT” led to the creation of the first IIT and on to the birth of the IT industry, thanks in no small part to a small number of MIT grads. The story is told through the experiences of many Indians, who studied at MIT beginning with Keshav Bhat who attended sporadically from 1882. One of the others featured in the book is BC Jain, my good friend from the BITS class of ’71. Another Bitsian contemporary, Baba Kalyani (’70) merits a brief mention in the book while Diro Mitra’s name figures in the context of the MIT/Ford Foundation initiative with Mr. GD Birla to reorganize BITS. Incidentally, Dr. Mitra had a master’s degree from MIT." @default.
