I'm with you. The scurviest humans are only after one purpose; and that is to ascend at any cost leaving (possibly) the less shrewd beneath them. The scurviest can sometimes be those we'd least expect. My experience ANYWERE has always led me to know that the most untrustworthy are those who sometimes where the biggest smile and best clothes. There's an old saying about showey people related to farming days: If you meet someone who shouts too loud on Saturday night (at the bar) and prays to loud on Sunday morning, go home and lock your smokehouse (pantry) immediately.
I hope you don't let it keep you down. I assume you are here to take advantage of opporunities that may not have been afforded you in India. Maybe not, but I am glad there is a country, any country, that helps people to do better than where they may have left. The best to you!
I agree with all of this. Many things will have to be sorted at these many levels of the social machine. Also to be considered is the cultural barriers posed with dealing business with in the context of an Indian mindset. Their fatalistic disposition can leave many of the more conscientious feeling at a loss for how to hope for the future in a joint venture. Even my limited experience with doing business within the Indian infrastuture leaves much to be desired in regard to honesty and integrity. The culture is and has been rife with corruption for decades. Bribes are the order of the day when gaining government approval for any transaction. I would even challenge the idea that the first-rev of a software project would be reasonably functional and ready for the first major tweaking by the Western workforce that knows what a conscientious work ethic looks like. Without constant monitoring, the Indian group would be tempted to convey a rosey picture of progress to the Western entity-in-charge leaving important items unaddressed.

Amen to that! I tried to IE7, hated it, removed the update. Long live Firefox.
