>number of international awards won by Indians IN india -Nobel Prize, Fields medal etc is next to zero)

Well at least its not zero.Rabindra Nath Tagore got it for his brilliant work - Geetanjali, Amartya Sen got it for his work on poverty and famines, C.V Raman got it for discovering what is now called the Raman Effect.

Also there have been notable achievements that perhaps have not been acknowledged with an award.For example J.C.Bose was the first to use a semiconductor junction to detect radio waves.

Well yes he did spend most of work life outside India.But then he was in India for significant periods too.

For example between 1961 to 1972 he was at the Delhi School of Economics, where he completed his work Collective Choice and Social Welfare
