Indian media: 4,000 top scientists in the world: 482 people in China, India: ehhhhhhhhhh, 10

Because developing OS needs enough people interested in maintaining them.

It's not just about maintaining them, it's also about things like how reliable the OS is and so on. I myself have written a simple text-mode OS some years ago, inspired by the QNX Real-Time OS.

1. An empowering open source operating system
2. BOSS Linux
3. Indus OS - Indian smartphone operating system

They all use the Linux kernel as base. In fact, Indus OS uses Android OS as base.

I am talking about writing an OS from scratch.

Even NASA has its call centre in the world’s biggest IT centre, Bongalulu.

This rank is mostly fake.

No need to use fake data to offend world’s only high tech Supa Powa.

Its not about just reliability either. Its also depends upon application and hardware support and how many companies make their software and games available on that platform. Without these no one would use your OS. Its a whole ecosystem. Not easy as simply writing codes.

I was going to explain on this further however was running around today and didn't get to. These are all different distros based on Debian except Indus OS which is based on Android as you said.

I heard some ten years ago that the Indian govt. had developed a device like the amazon HD touchscreen notebooks (Aakash), maybe with an ARM type processor and 7 inch B/W screen. Microprocessor was imported I believe.

Here is some recent Indian microprocessor news. Commercial application still eludes the project.

I don't believe that developing local OS and local microprocessor is that critical for a country like Bangladesh at all. Maybe it is for India which makes sense.

Bangladesh is looking at much more practical usage and had a huge push in 2011 to develop a low-cost android based laptop for children (Sugar OS) which would be given free to all primary school children. After about five years of govt. production the project ran into funding difficulties and is now being re-analyzed. I believe a slate device like that in India would be even cheaper, have more current technology and be more versatile for educational use - especially if produced by local commercial electronics and cellphone producers like Walton who produce from circuit board level.

Please reply to the last portion to this post of mine :

I agree with the ecosystem comment. But let us remember that while there were MS Windows, Apple, Linux and various UNIXes there has existed a fine OS like QNX ( fast and responsive - I have used it ).

If a government were to encourage private people and companies to use a certain OS run on a certain hardware platform, the ecosystem will be built automatically.

Well, I don't know if the Aakash project was a failure or not ( i.e. if those DataWind tablets are selling in the Indian market or not ) but the fabrication facility supposed to have been set up in India by DataWind never came about.

Here is some recent Indian microprocessor news. Commercial application still eludes the project.

https://www.thehansindia.com/posts/...ops-Indias-first-microprocessor-Shakti/435505

The Shakti family of processors was fabricated at Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), Indian Space Research Organizations (ISRO) in Chandigarh, making it the first 'RISC V Microprocessor' to be completely designed and made in India, IITM said

The highlighted part is misleading. The "Shakti" processor is based on the "RISC-V" which itself was a project started at University of California and further contributions from other individuals and groups.

I don't believe that developing local OS and local microprocessor is that critical for a country like Bangladesh at all. Maybe it is for India which makes sense.

Well, all I am saying is that there should be a non-Western design.

Bangladesh is looking at much more practical usage and had a huge push in 2011 to develop a low-cost android based laptop for children (Sugar OS) which would be given free to all primary school children. After about five years of govt. production the project ran into funding difficulties and is now being re-analyzed.

So how is the Doel laptop project doing ??

And yes, the Sugar OS seems to be similar to the BOSS project in India.

Doel laptop project went into limbo in 2016 for budget issues. They are going to revive it in a tablet form. Laptop concept is out I believe. If you can buy Amazon Fire HD tablets for under 70 dollars, things should be made even cheaper in Bangladesh.

If RISC was an architecture, then there are certain advantages attached to it. It may be debated whether coming up with a brand new OS architecture is worth it or not.

The RISC vs. CISC debate hinges on applicable use,

https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/soco/projects/risc/risccisc/

Well, all I am saying is that there should be a non-Western design.

If a country wants to develop a non-Western Microprocessor design then they have to target it at a goal.

Is the goal a defense related one? Or is it commercial success to win over in local market like in China and India.

The Chinese are further along in their Loongson microprocessor project than India I believe (with a teraflop capable supercomputer built with these things),

Bullshit fake news by CCP communist reeducation concentration camp non democratic non secular anti national

India is best and everybody knows it

Times of India is communist owned now?

Uh, may wanna make in 9 cuz of this "indigenius"!

Let's keep our humour.

it was a sarcastic comment

 

[AndrewJin]

Modiji itself can make up 1000 scientists in the list.
Then we have NASA hindu, around 500 in the list.
At last we have PDF RSS high-tech expert, around 500 in the list.

Therefore, this rank is too fake.

We all know. But some friends are too serious.

 

[GHALIB]

Shameful for India, 1.3 billion people ==> 10 vs Pakistan 0.2 Billion ==>6

Yet indians dont get tired of telling us how India exports intelligent minds and brains, propaganda as usual.

Lol frustration written allover here.
