    A past girlfriend has in Mumbai. Definitely cheaper than the US for the
    same quality.

    | That happens all the while.. but if things work out cheaper in India

    Exactly. Indians are not to blame. They are only doing what is right
    for themselves. Why should anyone in India decide _not_ to do something
    just because it has a lower cost?

    I also don't blame the CEOs for hiring Indians in India, as it is their
    job to keep costs down. The issues I have are with the CEOs that claim
    no Americans are available, when that is actually untrue, to try to get
    larger visa quotas. And many educators are still baffled as to why so
    many people in the US are deciding to _not_ enter a career field like
    computer science knowing that the employment opportunities are drying
    up here.

    | Ponits to ponder:
    | -> There are a lot of ARUN-likes on USENET, but not all are INDIANS.
    | There have been similar job related postings in comp.os.vxworks
    | atleast, why flame when an Indian posts? What if the location was your
    | own suburb?

    The only mistake I think he made in his post was not saying where the
    jobs were. Whether jobs postings are on-topic here is another issue
    made complicated because of the wide set of newsgroups used.

    | -> If you think we are getting paid here (exactly) similar to what you
    | get paid there, you have mistaken. Because if it turns out to be the
    | same eqaution, whatz the point in coming to India?

    Americans are even going to India for medical procedures. There was a
    TV report done about this here in the US. The doctors interviewed for
    the show did describe how it was that they were making a lot less than
    they could make in the US, but also pointed out that life costs a lot
    less in India, too. Of course things are tilted quite a bit. Things
    that are inherintly Indian will be less costly, and things imported from
    the US would be more costly.

    | I am reminded of an old saying.. One half of the world does'nt know
    | what the other half is doing

    The thing I would most blame India for is that it does apply more
    resistance to people coming in to the country to work than the US does.
