And, how many of the pro-India propaganda posters (eg. indiaBPOking, and that guy who spins out of dizum remailer) have, could we speculate, be engaging in schadenfreude about how India is sucking up all these jobs from the USA? and everywhere else? Or, how about you give us your speculation as to why we ONLY hear about ONLY the IT boom in ONLY India?

Who wants to take bets that kamal will conveniently

Not me. He's been giving us "lectures" containing all kinds of reasons why i) India rising, ii) US falling, iii) nothing can be done about it, iv) all the problems in the world are caused ONLY by the USA, v) there are no other rich countries in the world, vi) the USA got anything and everything it has by slavery-exploitation and nobody else in the world ever had slaves, vii) India has no problems (not even the Dalits), and viii) India was -- in ancient times-- the "center of the universe" and now it is becoming the "center of the universe" again, ix) if India has any problems, it has plenty of laws on the books, so, not to worry, and x) there is no alternative for the future but for the USA to become poor (since we're living a "too high" standard of living). However, I do enjoy having these "discussions" with him. I think he's at most wrong about a lot of this and at least unaware that there are other valid viewpoints about life on this earth.
