| We wish IBM expansion will accomodate you sooner or later !
There is nothing wrong in " Identifying our deficiencies / plus points of different systems in this material world "
TP.com is meant for that to maintain the traditions by the NRI's and others who live outside AP and the rest is history.

Well said, Mr Ravi.
As for all those jobs that have been created in India by many financial institutions moving their centres to India, we must not get complacent. We also need to make ourselves more efficient. There is currently so much criticism of the service being provided by the Indian staff for these companies.
Getting these contract is just the tip of the iceberg - sustaining them and improving on them is much much more crucial.
There are a lot of us around the world who spread what India has to offer - this is simply because a lot of us do sincerely care about our motherland.

The first generation indians who r born in india always think of india when they r outside india. Don't ever get the feeling that NRI's won't care about india, In 1980's china had a tremondous growth just because their NRI's contributed a lot to their country in the form of money. Now india has more than $100 dollars which have come through NRI's.
One thing I felt was NRI's would be ready to give but they never have the confidence that it would be used in the right manner in India where we have the highest corruption at ever level in the govt.
I just used to have one feeing whenever an NRI critising India, its ur country, its ur native place. its like complaining ur own family?

By 2008 US and other countries may hire a million software professionals where as the current figure stands at 200,000.
This creates a hurricane in Indian IT market. IBM alone declared a wide expansion of their customer support and services in US at many locations.
Banks and other related institutions have much room for expansion in their business simultaneously it provides individual benifits for the NRI's. Does the Indian Govt. will not be benifitted with this overall business.

Mr Gowri, the politics in India haven't really changed, but the requirement to those multinational companies made this change, with globalisation. They need to have their foot in India to cut their expenditure. And this gave good opportunities to Indians to get the jobs.
Spider, you are right. Most of these RIs are still RIs just because they didn't get the opportunity. I said most of them.
And NRIs, I'm not sure, what they think. But one thing, after getting used to the comforts of life that money brings, they can't really go back to India. Especially their wives won't let them to go back!!! Dhobhi ka... may be right or may not be ... it all depends how an individual NRI would see his future.
But what is "caring"? Who is caring India? Are you sure???

NRI's
"Dhobi Ka ..... Na ghar ka na ghat ka"
Either full fledged in the country where they are residing nor at home country. They have two masters. Controlled by the both and either of them responsible.
We can't say they left for betterment but it's sure they are after employment like house maids, labor, some skilled & semi skilled labor, supervising staff, few professionals like doctors & engineers and some biz people.
Does the statement concerns with all the categories?

NRIs care about India as much as a Resident Indian. Being an NRI doesn't mean NRIs care less for the country. While moving to different countries, they think about their personal gains first. But, don't the RIs think about their gains first? Given a choice how many of you (RIs) wouldn't fly to other countries to earn a few bucks more?

Earn more in India itself and migrate to UK US & Canada; so they care more about INDIA ? Is it about the Indian Policies ?

I was listenting to an interview with a leading US academic, who was saying how India and China have grown in these last few years. But more importantly, how they have managed to retain their creative capital, which has contributed to this success.
In the past, the creative people from India would get frustrated with the lack of opportunity and extensive bureaucracy and corruption within the system. This led to most of the creative capital to leave the Country and go elsewhere where they would be appreciated.
Creative capital makes up 1/3rd of the US population and most of this 1/3rd is made up of Indians.
What we need to do is to keep the creative capital back in India and give them the opportunity. The political climate needs to cater for this, otherwise there is no way for us to maintain our competitive advantage.

Bush does not seem to have a clue about what he is doing! He has conveniently chosen the route of War to keep up his ratings. Fortunately for him, with finding Saddam Hussain, he has given himself a decent boost ahead of elections this year. He has absolutely no regard for the UN and is using all the bullying tactics in the book to keep desperate coutries to support him.
Everyone talks about how advanced the US is, etc. But its interesting to note that these "advanced" people can't seem to question their president about his domestic policies!
As for Blair, he is simply lucky in that there is no decent opposition in the UK that can stand up and question him. Being a qualified barrister, he is very good at put his arguments across, even if they lack substance.
The people in both these countries are completely frustrated with their Governments and the lack of decent domestic policies, but then again, they can't seem to find a suitable alternative to replace these two useless politicians.
I wouldn't be surprised if some wonderful committee turned up and gave either of these guys a Nobel Prize for PEACE!!!
I'm not very sure about the other politicians in India, but as for Jayalalitha - I'm surprised that she is still able to maintain her authority! There appears to be a lot of positive noises being made for Vajpayee, but who is there is replace him?
India has made BIG BIG progress towards improving its economy, but this needs to be sustained and the future political climate is again questionable. We cannot rely on our IT skills alone, we already seem to have lost our textile/manufacturing advantage to China!
