[I am a s/w engg. in bangalore and I don't wear nike shoes.]
Outsourcing is way of life in india since generations, whether its getting ur car daily washed,utensils cleaned,shoes polished,your dog taken for a walk or your clothes ironed. And most people don't find anything wrong about it here in India, as I would rather spend my time doing something creative or innovative when people are there to pick up after me, and get paid for it. I don't have much praise for the kind of work outsourced to india; maybe only 10-15% are creative r&d stuff, but most are routine maintenance work(code monkeying). So, instead of complaining, I would rather recommenend my american counterparts to invest more of their time,energy and finance into innovative ideas,as it has always been with America, while code monkeys in India pick up after you.
