Can India build its own Facebook?

This seems to be a big question that is it possible for India to build its own Facebook. The only possibility is from R&D. But looking at the R&D standard in India it seems to be quite far ahead in future. Right now R&D in India means "Receive and Dispatch" where as the world believes in Research and Development.

Till the time India do not get innovative on web products they cannot make the Facebook in India. Facebook beats all with all the innovation it brought to the world of the Social Network, and hence captured the same to become the strongest element of it. Indian Internet companies don't seems to have that fire in them. Rediff which seems to be a bit global is like an old forgettable story. World has move so much ahead India which has stayed back and lost the race by many laps.

We have even seen the global trend where people make innovative products and sell them to larger companies as a very good cost. And those companies run these products as a bigger success story or at-least to its maximum potential. Unlike India, where some people copy the idea from west and then build the sell the unpolished product to Indian Internet Company for an average price. Being unpolished and stolen it becomes a flop in front of its original western counter-path.

Hence, innovation is the real requirement of the world today and till the time we do not achieve it we cannot build a better Internet Industry and cannot imagine to have a Facebook build in India.
