brajeshwar.com — India used to be seen as the perfect offshore research and development hub for global firms seeking to tap its low-cost and supposedly vast engineering talent pool to devise products for world markets.

- robbh66, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2The three in the middle have nice legs though...
- edstate, on 02/25/2008, -1/+5Good thing they haven't pinned too large a portion of their economy on our outsourcing... oh, wait. Oops.
- akkibaba, on 02/25/2008, -0/+2They really haven't, the entire Indian outsourcing industry has revenues of about $12 billion, compared to the $1.25 trillion GDP.
- Gabberwok, on 02/25/2008, -2/+6It won't matter - those jobs aren't coming back to the US unless we start teaching kids some real math and science. Conservatives want to teach us about creationism, liberals want to make math fuzzy and warm for everybody so no one feels inadequate and don't like merit pay for teachers because it upsets the unions. We're screwed.
- fkr3, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1The jobs will just move to another developing country, until it's no longer lucrative, and then to another, and so on.
- avengingturnip, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1It is not because of Christians that real math is not being taught in school. It is because the latest academic fad never includes the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Hey, as long as the kiddies got self-esteem, its all good!
- Gabberwok, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I was blaming the math part (and the teacher's unions that protect the incompetent teachers and stifle the brilliant ones) on the new agey hippy crowd. The conservatives are against science.
- macwac, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1Badly written article.. yes it is getting costly in Bangalore, but the author forgot to mention how many of these companies are moving to other more inexpensive cities in India. The biggest problem right now is infrastructure, not cost... as long as cost keeps at 1/3 that of States/Europe companies will continue to use India's fast growing educated population. The second threat is China.. due to their heavy manufacturing capabilities and better infrastructure.
