Rediff usually hypes up things a lot to get traffic. Lets hope this one is not the same instance of such rediff publicity.
But I dislike the articles when they have titles like “Thyagarajan’s trail blazing invention”.

yeah I also found the first line kind of misleading “Who says Indians cannot come up with revolutionary inventions?” – afterall I can’t think of anybody important who’s ever said that, that it needs to be refuted 🙂 But anyway, I found the compression idea and his story quite impressive! Also the fact that he does not have a PhD.
