Kind of sad that a lot of these papers are from India.

This is probably related to the policy change that has aimed to increase publication numbers from India (and so IIRC there's like a quota that needs to be met for promotions etc.).

Not surprised that Indians use this. Their obsession with English-medium education means that understanding has little value compared to memorization. This'd be okay for English-grammar (as with Japanese/Chinese), but it's a bit worrying that this is the case even in "real" technical subjects.

They'll pay for their linguistic-apartheid system when all the hype about the "next China" inevitably comes crashing down. The "cream" elites who've made it big in Anglo-Saxon nations and/or run the Indian state, and push for these discriminatory policies that allow education only for the <5% of Indians who can speak English, are so disconnected from the ground any way (like neighboring Pakistan) that they'll move onto US etc.

Worrying still is that this absurdity has come down all the way to kindergarten/primary education even in rural center (most teachers in these schools/universities can't speak a sentence of English). How they'll industrialize with literally an idiot population, that knows neither numeracy, nor a language, neither one's own or almighty English, is anybody's guess. Add to it all the socialist policies from 1st world nations that inevitably sell well with such large unproductive uncivilized mass of population (civilization = education).

This is how you destroy a country that gave the world Linguistics and Calculus (though they'll blame every useless invader from outside for this).
