Throughout History India has been conquered, ruled, and exploited. The Mughals, the Shah's and then the British came, ruled us and left us as paupers. After independence, we begged and went with our begging bowl to an organization called the World Bank. We all think that things have improved after globalization, but then I think otherwise and I think we are still going back to slavery. But this time, its a little different.
The British first came under the guise of a company and said that they were here for trade. We know the histroy, they started ruling us and maybe, because of fear and of the might of their military, they ruled us and many other countries. Yep! the same thing is happening again but the difference is that now we are slaves of our own greed - money.
The Brits took raw materials from India as it was in abundance and that it was cheap. They forced us to get these raw materials. Of course we were paid which was peanuts. These raw materials were turned into a finished product and were sold in other parts of world and in India.
The scene is similar today, except that the mode is different and the words are polite - I would include "Company Processes" here. So what is it? Well, it's outsourcing! what we have here is us writing pieces of a big Story, without understanding the big picture. And then we have some smart "white" guy who outsources a job, puts all the pieces together, makes a product and sells it to the world.
We are given the work that they would rather give it to a servant, while they spend their time/resources in thinking about new ideas and products. Who implements these ideas? its us of course! a third world country who get a third of what they would have paid to some one of their own kind. For a piece of work which a High School pass out will do in US, an Indian has to be an Engineer. An american can work from 9 to 5, but you are expected to work as long as you can be stretched. What would have been the point of outsourcing, they may ask.
We are deep in the trap now. Yep! its the greed of money and we will continue to be slaves!!
