I'm an ex-desi and I have a comment: First of all:"The generation of future Indians are at the hands of the developers" Good grief! Isnt that (kind of) over-reacting?
When is the last time you EVER saw Indians doing ONE thing, and only one thing only?
And Indian do rip software off aiight? Deal with it. So do Venezuelans or Turks, but not as much as India and China.
I have "been to india". I lived there for 27 years before emigrating to the US.
Yes there is poverty, desperate and heart-wrenching even for Indians, but there IS hope AND Democracy!
I worked for Schlumberger right out of school and enjoyed the benefits of working for an Industry leader in one of the poorest countries of the world.
The only thing I noticed was that the expatriates I worked with got less and less and more Indians joined as time went by. This was due to the fact that The Indian Government allowed Schlumberger and other companies access to Indian Markets PROVIDED they trained and replaced expats with Indians as time went on. This is extremely fair because the caliber of Indian Engineering and Earth Science Graduates was (and is) outstanding.
Contrast this with a non-third world country like Venezuela ( I worked there the last two years) who expect the foreign companies to do all the work themselves with none of the cross-training of venezuelans that SHOULD result.
I think that the charge for the moonstrous portals to avail themselves of the masses of India is absolutely fair.
Just my $ 0.02...
Actually, there is is a simpler proof of this..
Indians were called Indians even when Vespucci, Columbus and the other colonizers, found the currently called "native Americans". What did we call them even a few years ago?? Indians, exactly..not Hindus..
The way I see it - India is the country that Columbus went looking for when he found you guys..!
isnt that ironic..
Anyway, with my scant know. of Spanish, it looks like old jamirocake is using laws of (incorrect) deduction to come up with his theory.
