I think the original post in this thread came from Don Rumsfeld's old Europe and had more than a whiff of condescension. Then we had the Indian response of indignation followed by the American response of objective analysis.
I'm Indian and I have no illusion of the work put out by a great number of my countrymen. I believe that partly it has to do with the economic boom as somebody pointed out and partly it has to do with cultural differences and communication difficulties. The important point that old Europe may be overlooking is that Indians are striving to be better at the job and Americans are learning how better to manage and execute offshore projects. Europe can be smug for a few more years and tell American corporations "I told you so". But soon the quality of work done by Indians and Chinese (and Poles and Ukrainians for that matter) will match Western standards. What will old Europe do then?
