Another Indo-Pak War ?
India is making huge strides in the IT/BPO space. There is immense respect for Indian IT professionals world-wide.
As I read this excellent quote recently "MNCs came for the cost, stayed for the speed and the quality". I think that captures the essence of the India.
I get pissed off when I hear people who attribute the entire success of the Indian IT Industry to the British who introduced us to English.
If knowledge of English was sufficient to generate success in the IT space, why havent any of the other ex-British colonies been able to succeed in the same space ?
Pakistan
Bangladesh
Sierra Leone
Mauritius
Barbados and several others ....
Pakistan's IT space employs 10,000 people (as against >2 Million in India). None of the other ex-British colonies are even close to India in terms of the IT Business.
India is a culmination of the influences of history, geography, anthropology, evolution, economics, mathematics, logic, religion and linguistics as well.
