IP and India

i'm doing a workshop on Intellectual Property rights right now , and its heartening to know that the awareness in such an important issue is so poor! there's an immense scope for Indians towards becoming a leader when it comes to IPs and patents but the indifferent attitude of most of us toward the issue has lead us to a work and get paid era!!!if at all this has to change we need to educate the educated and make then realize that there's more to it than they think, its not just about them but about the country as well. infact there are many cases in which indian professionals are working for an mnc placed abroad and getting patents and recognition for them!!! the cause of the nation is clearly lost !!!
