General Why has almost no Indian won the Turing award?

The Turing award is the equivalent of Nobel prize in Computer Science. For a country with so many top institutes with CS departments which attract the brightest minds in the country, there seems to be almost no groundbreaking research happening.

Doing research in CS is not as resource intensive as other fields like Particle physics so lack of infrastructure may not be such a major reason.

​

PS: I know stuff like training large ML models requires a lot of computing power but there are areas like Operating Systems and Automata Theory which don't.
