Remittanced only contribute to 15% of GDSP. 65% is from tertiary sectors of IT, Healthcare and Tourism. Kerala gets substantial investments from private companies instead as opposed to large corporations in Gujarat for example. Investments

It’s really simple test. Dig into unemployment numbers for skill shortages. If your industry only has an acceptable level of unemployment filings, then it qualifies as an industry eligible for H1B. Within the industry, each company would in

There are two issues here. American companies need workers with multiple skillsets. Your one app startup that thrives on user unwittingly selecting location on might need a highly qualified European graduate with experience at CERN. But the

Most high skilled jobs in the world like your neurosurgeon or the engineers at your local nuclear power station assume your skillset based on educational qualifications. Only IT conducts a tech interview on a whiteboard and hires people wit

Agree. H1B goes to some sketchy companies and for jobs that replace Americans. The lottery is the culprit here. Companies that face skills shortage don't get enough H1Bs. Many H1Bs like myself were educated at taxpayer expense in their

There's a pent up demand in India for cheap iPhones. Most of the phones manufactured would be for domestic market. Local manufacturing would provide better pricing to compete with Android market in India.

India and China recently ended up at war. 20 Indian soldiers died and an undisclosed number of Chinese soldiers died during a primitive battle with Kung Fu sticks and stones. There's an agreement on not using firearms in conflicts and

Parliamentary republic with brute majority would feel like a dictatorship. There's no real seperation of legislative and executive branches. Judiciary largely plays to win post retirement careers. But that usually gets fixed after an

I have misgivings with the ruling party at center. But to claim that India isn't Democratic is like saying US is autocratic because of Trump. It's true, India needs to go back to it's secular roots. But the elections aren&#x2

They do teach mathematics in India well though. Indian expat population is a small percentage of what's back home. India has close to 1.4 billion population. Indian diaspora in other countries would be much less than 100 million. So th

If you worked in Microsoft, you would know the H1B employees never came cheap. If you were dreaming of reaching Wall Street salaries in Redmond, then that's a mismatch in expectations. Microsoft was always making software for around th

It might be your personal anecdote. I know many H1B employees who are well paid and not fearful or obedient. Different cultures have different ways of being courteous and showing respect to others(elderly). You must've had some misunde

I agree it's shitty culture to color code employee badges and subject a set of people to humiliation. I've worked as an employee and a contractor. We all will at some point in our career. You can't judge someone's integr

This is a puff piece to legitimize use of EVMs. India uses EVMs, a closed source device made by a secretive Japanese manufacturer. The government claims the device is "hack" proof. They stubbornly refuse to conduct an open hackath

Since the BJP government took power, India has had multiple faux pas from the central government front. They swapped out Raghuram Rajan with a no name yes man as the governor for central bank. Then they did demonetization, a quixotic advent
