The Indus Valley civilization [20] provided the earliest known customary rules on water. Indian astronomy is also said to have had its origin in the Vedic period. While there is circumstantial archaeological proof of ancient fishing activity [24], written evidence of rule-making is more sparse. Due to the absence of well-developed transportation and communication systems, the village-level self-sufficiency economy existed, whose requirements were easily met by the production system that existed then. The Indian textile industry commanded a huge market share worldwide and the early British and German textile machines were modeled after the Indian machines. While India was trying to build its higher education base across various fields including science and technology, there was a widespread and disturbing trend of significant migration of highly educated scientifically and technologically trained manpower to other countries, especially to the United States.
