If science fiction is considered as a reflection about future, Indians have a reason to be uncomfortable. In most of the works, Indians are consigned to periphery, only to acts as exotic characters. One notable exception is Arthur C Clarke, but that is because his place of living. While Chinese, Russians and Japanese have found mention in stories as competitors, India is seldom mentioned.
I think the priority of Indians should be to ensure that India finds mention in science fiction.
I am feeling positively smug that I have made a splendid contribution in development of India.
