There is no reason why researchers in India's elite institutions should pay
APC to publish their work and in the process and in the process transfer
funds from Indian taxpayers to the coffers of already super rich (and
greedy) publishers in Europe and the US. To me it appears to be an
unethical and immoral practice.
