"I've said this before, Most Indians coming from TCS,Infy,CTS are not _highly_ skilled people. 80 to 90% of them are don't have expert skills. These people are close to management and play politics well, thats how they reach USA."

You haven't met everyone of them to apply such a broad characterization. You have a point to make - that these three businesses abuse the Visa - but that gets lost in your attempt to pass judgment on a group of people you haven't met, and yet feel at home grouping them together as "shoe-lickers". Get off your high horse.

I think you may be new to HN. As someone who has spent 4+ years in Reddit, I have seen far worse comments about Indians. Compared to that, the comments here are bit more civil. I am happy more and more Indians are seeing what westerners think about them.

As an Indian I feel bad. But part of me knows this is true to large extent. Managers have too much power.

I am not new here. And the tech-migration is a relatively new thing in the Western world. I would wait a generation for that thinking to evolve.

Feel free to cross-check with outsourced Indian IT employees or at-least get familiar with social sites like quora where you can find large of Indians and their views outsourced world. HTH

Get back to me once you have cross checked with everyone you painted with the same broad brush.

On the other hand, Your ill-informed view paints a poor picture of you. As I said before - stop thinking you are better. Instead, you came across as a massive douche.

You and Op are both right.

Yes not all people are bad. But Most are. Buy this is in every single company. Not just outsourcing firms.

The issue in India is scarcity. Which is every one wants their pound of flesh even if that comes from their own brother. They want it.

The Op is right though. You can't get anything through work in most Indian companies. Regional politics, linguistic politics, connections in high places, politics is what you need to progress in India.

In India work doesn't get you too far. Society doesn't reward work or merit. In fact rewards corrupt practices both in government and private sectors.

Yet people in India wonder why no good things happen here.
