Why are Indians so obsessed with the IITs? What's the point of addressing someone as IIT-ian? Do we call Obama the "Harvard-ian Obama"? Honestly, who cares which college you went to? There are tonnes of people who have graduated from the IITs who have not done anything remarkable in their lives. When will this obsession about IITs & IIMs go away?

Disclosure: I am an Indian.

PS: Mr. Majumdar is also from UC Berkeley. Why not call him "UCB-ian"?

I agree. I studied in IIT. Calling me IIT-ian is same as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_calling

this is so inspiring... I have followed his research and he is truly an awesome scientist and extremely well known in the research community..

now.. i wish.. obama government can act upon the founder's visa.. .:)
