I read a news report that even if Prez Obama withdraws the tax incentive for shipping jobs overseas, the cost of executing a project in the US will be 50% more expensive than doing it in India. If true, this is the point India's IT Inc. lobbyists need to hit hard on in the US, esp. on TV, thro' newspapers, senators etc. US software companies stand to lose their global competitiveness this way. Therefore, the US based companies also would be interested in supporting India's cause. The other approach is for India's majors to set up more offices in the US for direct participa-tion in their projects. I am sure Obama being a pragmatic man will come around finally.

Outsourcing lobbyists are mainly the shareholders of companies. They don't have either India or USA in their mind. They are as selfish as the CEOs and managers in IT companies. It is not going to affect the vast majority of Indian people anyway.

A slum dog have all characteristics which a richy dog will have, rather many a times, slumdogs are much intelligent than the richie ones, they withstand any wheather and circumstances, but richie cant.... your president BARR'' OB'' may be forgetting his entity, he should not forget the slumps from where his avatar aroused

Look, extreme protectionism is a bidirect-ional sword. If you tighten the screws on export of software projects, why should India throw open its insurance sector to the US and let giants like AIG, Metlife, Aviva to function here amidst the "slum-dogs" as per you. India's consumption of mobiles is likely to touch or cross 500 million units shortly;why should US tele-com companies be allowed to get a share of this huge market ? If India reacts, the US will have many times more unemploy-ed people on its streets. The same thing applies for automobiles.

yes.. I guess only the Europeons have the right to colonise the world. Go to US and go to Australia and route out the aboriginals and occupy their teritories.
This is actual scenario which can not be stopped by any means.. It is a time of globalization and no one in this world can stop. This globalization is driven by mainly computer which is invented by US. May at that time they have not thought what will be impact on US of this small machine (called computer) after 30-40 years..and internet means you can connect but there is no way to out from it. It is a infinite net have only one gate to enter and not way to exit. I think US will be no longer lead the world forward and country who will be having more smart people will lead the way to the future.. and india and china are one them not because that chinease or indians are smarter but billion of people means atleast some of them certainly be smarter.... So time has come to be more innovative and creative to progress in th

Very true, If globalisation is going to hit countries economy, countries will turn to Nationalisation, For ex what happened to Crude OIl , Indonesia, brazil, and venezuela have nationalesd th eoil companies, For that matter of Demand and supply Both commodities are same , Crude oil or Indian IT
Obama's tax proposals or for that matter any move reminds me of indian politics. He seems to be only doing gimmicks. I don't know whether he will be able to revive the american economy from its shambles. He is having certain preconceived notions and acts based on that. Perhaps he has a coterie like the indian prime ministers/chief ministers and giving ill advices. All the best anyway.
Whatever kind of brave face IT people and media will try and project the truth is that Indian firms will be hit very hard by this decision of Obamas govt. We should accept the truth and then try and find ways and strategies to cover up the loss of business rather than closing our eyes and ears and making us belive that situation is to our advantage.

One thing the world should remember is that without the indian consumers none of the US business will survive. If we Indians reciprocate by boycotting the american products then that is the end of road for US companies.

Why do you want OBAMA to play the game ask your indian Leaders to do something about it ????
Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. ruined the Economy of USA by their un-waranted war against Iraq & then against Taliban in Afghanistan. America still continues to donate to Pakistan in their war against Taliban.
Why did US have to create the Taliban in the 1st place?

BUsh Sr. and Jr. have ruined their country's economy and now Mr. Obama is going to continue...
If they stop outsourcing to India... it's not going to do them any good..
