So he wants opinions from a general perspective as well as from a purely Indian perspective. Could you explain why you appear to have a problem with that?
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

There are times, Hiren, when a question needs to be reposted in order to receive the widest possible exposure. It's very rarely acceptable, but I for one consider this type of question appropriate for this forum, perhaps more so than any other forum available. Let's be patient... unless the OP makes a habit of it, of course. :-D

Seems strange to be offered a job for a position that even you are not sure you want to or are capable of doing. If you have been offered a position as Business Analyst and you don't really know what one is, your first prot of call should be the person who offered you the job - find out more about it. Job titles often mean nothing when you find out what the daily requirements actually are.

I can only speak from the perspective of a dev in the UK, you might find things are different in India, so YMMV. Business Analysts (BAs) tend to be either failed devs or [worse] people with MBAs (Master's degree in Business Administration) who think they know about systems design because they have done a short course on it. The main purpose of an BA is to drive out requirements from a business and translate these into something akin to a systems requirements so the dev team can get cracking. Theoretically this is a skilled job, but it is rarely done well in my experience as the companies don't want the expenditure of getting someone in who really does the job well. To make matters worse, they tend to put such people at in charge of at least parts of the project, which is a bit like making a Confectioner a site foreman on a large construction project because knowing how to make icing is similar to making motar in principle. Often this is predicated on the idea that devs are not normal, and shouldn't speak to real human beings. Sorry to be so downer on this, but it has been my experience in the past.

Again, YMMV, but in my view yes, even with a gap of a couple of years you'll miss the latest developments in IT. At some point most devs face the dilemma you are having: 1) Go into management: dull, but you have more apparent control and better pay or 2) Remain a dev: Work is interesting, even fun but once you get to a senior level you hit a ceiling and progression is hard (though there is contracting, or setting up your own company as an option).
