Dear Editor:

I have always wanted scientific journals in India to be internationally competitive: however, this can happen only when our “leading” scientists believe in publishing in Indian journals. This belief has often been missing and consequently, most of the papers published in journals published from India carry papers which either have been returned from the so-called “International journals” or were thought by the authors themselves to be not meeting the required “international standards”! Given this, the quality of most journals have remained poor.
