The Indian Effect
-
OK, that's a provocative title, but I couldn't really think of what else to call this post. I've just reread an old article and there are comments from a number of our Indian CPers on it. Curiosity got the better of me and I started to read their bios. The thing that impressed me is how many MVPs we have amongst our Indian community, and how proportionately they outnumber the none-Indian members of the site who are currently none-Code Project MVPs. Given the fact that the Indian development community have been given a hard time here, I'd like to take this opportunity to say "Blimey, you're doing a great job" to them and remind people that there while, in common with other groups, there are a number of poor devs there, there are also a number of excellent one's.
Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads

Actually, Indian fellows outnumber us in pretty much everything: It is just that there are so many of them !

Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

Now that's funny, because people here in Brazil use to say I look like an Indian. :)
There's no free lunch. Let's wait for the dinner. Take a look at Scattered Polaroids here in The Code Project.

No, they say I'm Indian from India. Used to be "Apu" in the past, but more recently "Raj" :)
