Man, I just got sick of politics to be honest as there are just too many perspectives to consider before you can call yourself objective. Also, I have came to realize that most human ills are universal and humans are just hypocrites who just do away with that by using whataboutery.
Agreed.
While, I have broad philosophies (empathy, maximizing development/happiness of most people etc), I consider myself apolitical for most matters.
That is good and so do I hence you may consider
again reading these proposal threads of mine :
Hello, the below idea has been brewing in my head for some time and it came up during recent discussions with @Naofumi and @Soumitra in different threads. I present a new economic system that is needed especially in countries like India and Pakistan where old regressive social mores meet modern...

I am not acquainted with hardware stuff, so won't go there
But then you can accept my postings about this.
but processors seems to hard to manufacture : Design market seems to be dominated by US firms (Intel, Nvidia, Qualcomm - all three have India development centers by the way. You can apply and try your luck
CAREERS AT NVIDIA INDIA,
Intel Careers India,
Qualcomm Careers India ) and manufacturing market dominated by Korea (Samsung) and Taiwan (TSMC).
Though India sort of tried its hand. See
1. That vid has been posted before, twice, and yes, SCL didn't grow to its full potential for mass manufacture of processors and memory but it currently produces processor and memory chips and other elements for India's space industry and I think also for the military. Also, SCL has produced the prototype for the AJIT processor project from IIT-Bombay which is that institution's implementation of the American SPARC processor architecture.
2. About manufacture / fabrication of processors yes it requires big financial, material and supportive investment. Some years ago two Indian-led consortia - HSMC and Jaypee Group - made known their intention to establish a fabrication plant in India based on who the government will choose but nothing came out of plan other than a ground-breaking ceremony in Gujarat and MOUs with foreign companies to provide the machinery. But some days ago there was a thread on the forum about talks between Taiwan and India for Taiwan to establish a fabrication plant in India for a deal of I think 7.5 billion dollars. No news since then. Also, seems the Taiwanese were not so enthused with this idea of the Indian government and advised India to first set up fabless design companies which will design processors and send the designs to Taiwan or South Korea or say Israel or America for fabrication there. And that brings us to the point that the "design" branches of NVIDIA, Intel and Qualcomm in India and so-called Indian design companies don't really do actual design. They don't produce any innovation. They would be equitable to engineering software companies like Infosys and TCS.
3. Thanks for the career application links but do read a bit of my plan below.
Yes, China is ahead but they're so in every other sector too, why should we abandon what we already have to pursue an unknown territory.
Can you explain ?
I am not "chest-beating" that I may deny obvious reality but it sounds ridiculous when BD is compared to India.
Well, how different is an Indian fabless processor company from a Bangladeshi fabless company like Ulkasemi that
@Bilal9 bhai linked earlier ? Both use existing, foreign processor architectures like ARM. The much-type IIT-Madras processor project called Shakti is nothing but its implementation of the international, open source RISC-V project and IIT-M got these chips fabricated in South Korea.
Also, while not strictly "processors" but several cloud companies have been founded by Indians like Nutanix, Rubrik etc.
Good.
On OS, there's no point to reinvent the wheel when popular OS like Linux are open source for ages. One can build there custom distro out of it but don't expect to challenge any US giant in terms of market share. There's simply no return on that investment
Linux is not a reliable, stable and secure OS when you want one for say a nuclear reactor or a medical device or a factory machine or in regular automobiles or mining vehicles and many such needs. For this you will need a proper RTOS like the legendary QNX Neutrino or another like INTEGRITY OS.
As for the stale statement "No need to reinvent the wheel" please read this recent thread of mine :
This Company is Reinventing the Wheel and Ditching the Rubber Tire Nick Thomas Wed, October 13, 2021, 6:41 PM·3 min read Global Air Cylinder Wheels (GACW), an Arizona-based startup, has literally reinvented the wheel. They developed a new type of wheel that ditches the need for pollutive...

And then if Linux was so important and in India CDAC had already "developed" its Linux distro called BOSS why did DRDO
announce in 2010 that it had begun a project to design and develop a new "futuristic" OS for Indian military, banking, consumer and other needs ?
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is working on creating a futuristic computing system, including India's own operating system, said V.K. Saraswat, Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister and DRDO Director-General.
Talking to journalists after inaugurating the DRDO Transit Facility here on Saturday, Dr. Saraswat said: “We do not have our own operating system. Today, various bodies, including banks and defence establishments, need security. Having our own operating system will help us prevent hacking of our systems.”
Two software engineering centres are being set up for this purpose in Bangalore and New Delhi. “To start with, we will have 25 scientists at each of these centres. We are in touch with institutes such as the Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Technology Madras and the Centre for Development of Telematics, besides universities and industries. We will use available talent.” Citing security reasons, he refused to provide details of organisations involved in the project.
The new operating system would also have commercial use, he said and added: “With a home-grown system, the source code will be with us and it helps in securing our systems,” he said. Asked about the money involved for the project and the timeframe, Dr. Saraswat said it was fairly a costly affair, without elaborating on the timeframe.
What has happened of this project eleven years later now in 2021 ?
There's simply no return on that investment, why should on we put thousands or millions of expensive man-hours in such projects?
Some years ago I had written a simple OS inspired by QNX Neutrino OS and yes it did take me some sleepless nights and many days but it was something that had to be done. With that I had also co-founded a company to further develop it for commercial productization. But the initial design it was just me who did it. Not a team of 400. QNX's first version was written in the early 1980s by two people too. So it will be with many other things. Many Indians will just have to discard being excusey and will have to necessarily put in the required intellectual and financial effort.
If you believe it can be done, show us the way and be an influential billionaire yourself, maybe then people will take communist teachings seriously.
1. So my Communist proposals and posts are not enough to be taken seriously by you ? Why not ? How did any revolution get taken seriously initially ?
2. Yes, for my project I plan to soon register a company at least with participation of a tiny group and then hope to get investment from venture capitalists to get the money to purchase a FPGA board to prototype the processor. If all goes according to plan. I have put my life on it.
