Agreed. The rules of engagement for handling problems (in large corporations and all governments): 1. Before working on the problem, we must establish blame. 2. See #1.

Was more of a TV Flash news when the election winner was announced. But it has taken its time to come around & hit the target somewhere else that nobody predicted it would happen so soon. Now some of my friends are becoming victims of these[^] May be Trump should have done a more balanced schemes than affecting so many families in India all of a sudden. :~

I don't think that there's anything here to blame on the USA, this is entirely down to India. India won't be the first or the last nation to do this, but this it how it works: 1) A government decides that career area X (in this case IT) is THE FUTURE. 2) A government tells just about every youngster in the nation that career area X is THE FUTURE and it's what they should be doing with their lives regardless of personal aptitude. 3) In order to facilitate this, the government creates an education system for are X and scales it up to a size that cannot possibly work. 4) The bloated education system spews out millions of graduates - a large proportion of them knowing sweet FA about area X because they've been taught so badly. 5) The nation finds itself with an industry that has become fattened to a ridiculous extent by people who would be far better suited to doing other things. 6) The industry soon gets to a point where the only advantage it has is that is cheap. 7) This attracts custom for a while but people soon realise that it's a false economy as they get far better value when paying more to companies in countries where that sector has grown in a more organic way. 8) Orders dry up and those poor souls that have been shoe-horned into the industry are the ones that suffer - along with their families. It's known as putting all your eggs in one basket and is a classic recipe for a "boom and bust" scenario. Pumping such a large proportion of your resources into one sector is always going to be a high risk strategy and one that's not likely to end happily in the long run. It certainly isn't the fault of other nations when it all goes horribly wrong.

Well, to be fair to India, American companies that don't really care about the quality of their products (of which there are plenty) would still be more than happy to throw money at the bloated Indian IT sector, except for The Orange One who is scared of brown people so has made life very difficult for them to get that money by deporting the "undesirables", and making noises about significant cutbacks in H1B. So while you are not wrong, I think Mr. Trump has accelerated the bust half of the boom-and-bust cycle you speak of.

Uhm, why would the US president need to worry about people in India? :)

Bit soapbox but I'll bite: "Indians do not steal jobs, but rather create new jobs. Indian IT companies have created as many 400,000 jobs abroad..." that's the people needed people to fix the shite these guys put out...
Yeah I am sorry, but a disagree. STRONGLY! The indian low cost outsourcing triggered a race to the bottom. I don't know how it is in the US, but here in Canada there are many indian companies with a small sales office in Canada and a huge development team in India. These guys dump on the IT market first and then do not deliver. I get routinely spammed by them with some offers about 3 to 6 months contracts to fix their crap. I want them all, those companies to go away. Good riddance.

You left out an important part from the article: > due to under-preparedness in adapting to newer technologies This is a rapidly-changing field where the players know they have to adapt or die. This is nothing new, and I don't think any politician can be blamed for that. In fact I'd think politicians are holding back the pace of the industry--how many government departments are still running XP machines?

+5. I have been thinking about this, and I think also mentioned this logic a couple of times on CP in some posts that started off badgering all indian programmers. In a way this might not be all that bad for India. I think we have grown a great deal economically since, and mostly due to, the IT boom(s). I have noticed a change in outlook here lately and see a lot of people shift from IT to things they actually like doing. This has happened mostly due the changes in lifestyle that the technology business has brought in. - People earn more and so are financially more secure than they were before. - Equally important, I think, is that indians have travelled outside India through their companies and that has caused a cultural shift. More and more people realize that there's more to life than 'getting a job'. Although this change is still only in the bigger cities, but it would be highly improbable to expect the IT wave to change the fortunes of over a billion people. All in all, to look on the bright side, hopefully most of those who do get laid off are the ones who aren't meant to be programmers, and hopefully they do find their calling and end up being happy.
