Why India should have a Vivek Wadhwa….in India
Vivek Wadhwa, Tech Entrepreneur, Academic, Researcher and Writer has been one of the biggest critics of American competitive policies. So far he has clearly pointed out that, America:
- is wrong in terms of assessing India and China’s advantage in engineering education and R&D
- does not know how to build innovation centers
- is pursuing flawed immigration policies
- is letting brain drain progress
- and has brought about many more issues
Vivek’s analysis is backed by deep research and understanding of the American success model and he does not hesitate to bring forth his honest points. There is no need to explain here that America has been number one in almost all the sectors and is going through a current slump. However, Vivek Wadhwa and many more Americans are fighting the cause of making America more competitive. Wadhwa is hated in certain circles; if you read his Washington Post articles you will be surprised that most of the readers who post comments dislike him; there are successful VC’s and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley that despise him. Yet, he works tirelessly for America and Americans.
We should also tell you that Vivek was born and raised in India, studied in Australia and is now a US Citizen.
Can you imagine if Vivek was in India, working on helping the government streamlining its education infrastructure, strategizing how to make Indian engineers and organizations competitive, helping create an ecosystem for entrepreneurship and was involved in many more issues?
India needs many Vivek Wadhwa’s, in India. Do you know of one?

Actually, all Vivek Wadhwa is is a shill for hire, yes, even for NASSCOM & TIE. If you guys want him back so bad.. you can HAVE HIM.
He’s done very well as a *shill*. Thank you so much for outlining his talking points as seen by India, Inc. Wadhwa *is* hated by us, so… you might want to recall him. Sooner rather than later.
-Drunky
Drunky – India would love to have Vivek Wadhwa, however he’s tirelessly engaged in making America more competitive and deserves respect for that. Not sure if everyone shares the same opinion as you.
If Wadhwa is busy trying to increase the competitiveness of America, then why is America’s competitiveness dropping like a rock. In 1998 BEFORE we let all these faking fraud industrial spies into the US, the US HAD NO COMPETITION. India and China couldn’t compete with us because they did not have our technology and know-how. It is only since we have let millions of these people into US jobs so they could gain our skills and knowledge that the US is facing increased competition. Training and enabling your competititors is not a good way to stay competitive. To stay competitive, we need to train and enable OUR OWN people. We don’t need the help of these people, they need us, after all, from 1978-1998 IT was 99% white American males. We built IT, these other people didn’t. Stop the lies and stop the plunder of America by foreign industrial spies!
Wakjob – The entry of IT and knowledge workers into America is a direct result of globalization, a concept started and promoted by American MNC’s. Look around you and realize that a lot of jobs are going to newly landed immigrants simply because they are sometimes hungrier. Isn’t America a country of immigrants, why blame the first generation emigrees?
“Globalization” is just another word for communsim. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”. America invented IT long before any of these other people could even compete in it. America makes and creates, other countries take. And it is by brining these foreigners here that we are enabling them to compete agianst us. The concept of globalization was not started by AMCs – it was outlined and laid out in Mikhail Gorbachev’s 1989 book “Perestroika – New Thinking for Our Country and The World”. In that book he clearly outlined how American companies “must accept the inclusion of foreign workers”. I am not the “stupid American” you think I am. Globalization is communism. Taking from America and giving to other countries. Where were India and China during the 20 years AMERICANS were creating the IT industry? Why do those people deserve STEM jobs when they did nothing to help create them. ZERO technology comes from India and China that was not first invented in the US. If the whole world is globalizing then why did India’s gov’t just ban Wal-Mart and Target from opening up in India IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE LOCAL INDIAN WORKFORCE. And why does all the job creation always fall on Americans while the rest of the world sits around and does nothing? Where is the new industry created by India or China and given to Americans for free? Globalization my arse – this is pure commmunism and nothing else. Lots of jobs are going to immigrants because 1) they are paying off our politicians to allow it to continue (NASSCOM, US-INDOPAC), and 2) because they will work cheaper than Americans. America is not a country of immigrants. It’s a country of EUROPEAN immigrants and the African-Americans descended from slaves. Asians didn’t begin to arrive in the US until late 1998 – a mere 14 years ago. Where were the Indians and Chinese during the other 506 years that EUROPEANS were creating America and all of her industries? 14 years of ASIAN immigration has DESTROYED America’s economy. 84% of the current American population was BORN HERE. No, America is not a land of immigrants – another lie propagated by the foreign industrial thieves who want to rob us blind. Stop the lies.
wakjob, strange name. the only reason why u.s. became a super-power and relatively more advanced compared to most other countries is
1) its higher population amongst thieving countries
2) well it had free stolen resources
3) the english paid americans for their shittly low priced ships and machinery from the money they conned out of india
4) all the major real innovation ever done in u.s. is still done by indo-slavic peoples, as it has always been throughout the history of the world. genetically the ones innovating in u.s. are still our descendants (paternally – looking at their surnames)
5) u.s. does have media that glorifies innovation and promotes financing of new ventures. plus the fictional white-race identity that you’ve propped up seems to be helping the people live in peace with each other.
6) indians are poorly educated due to the systematic destruction of india’s economy by the english tactics and are still working under the governance system that was designed to steal from people and to maintain bad law-and-order.
7) if the indians hadn’t taught the anglo-iberian peoples our language, maths, sciences, clothing … guess where you’d have been. mr tarzan mudface barbarian vandal.
Another brainwashed Indian.
The US became a superpower because we invented everything and sold it and you didn’t.
1) Please name the things USA ‘stole’. Without us you would not even have a PC or the internet, let alone air travel.
2) Name the resources we stole.
3) At least we had ships. India didn’t get to America because 500 years ago India couldn’t even build ships that were capable of crossing the ocean. The ships must not have been that bad – they brought millions of Europeans to America. Do you really expect us to believe 500 Brits from the British East India Company stole ALL of India’s wealth? Come on. India was never rich. You were never rich because you never created anything. “Foreigners robbed India” is just a lie you’re told in your schools to distract you from the fact that your gov’t wasted 50 years on failed communism.
4) Please name the innovatons done in USA by indo-slavic people. PC? 2 white Americans. Transistor? White Americans. First integrated circuit? 2 white Americans. All the world’s commerical operating systems? White Americans. First air travel? 2 white Americans. First moon landings? 2 white Americans. You’ve been lied to in your schools. Innovation has nearly ground to a halt since Indians began arriving in USA in large numbers 14 years ago. Please name the “innovations” you’ve created in USA. Stop being a Nazi master-race lunatic, you people have invented nothing except Chess and Zero in 5000 years. Wake up brainwashed.
5) Well we DO have Apple and iPhone and iPad and you don’t. We did invent the PC, internet, and just about everything else and you didn’t.
6) Indians are poorly educated because you are stupid Aztecs living like people lived 5000 years ago and you worship non-existent elephant gods and drink cow urine. Britain tried to civilize you but you kicked them out which is why your country is still a hellhole. You are all lazy, stupid, grabbing, and don’t want to work or study hard. All you care about is grabbing $. That is why you are poorly educated. You don’t HAVE anything to steal so how can anyone steal from you? LOL.
7) Ancient knowledge came from Greeks. Newton (from Europe) invented Calculus, not Indians. Algebra originated in modernday Iraq. In fact, the word “Algebra” means “Alge’s Math” – which is a Farsi name, not an Indian name. What “sciences” did you teach us? If your “sciences” were so advanced you would have flown in space thousands of years ago.
Stop believing the lies you are fed in school. Google “Indian students ranked 2nd from last”. OECD did a study last month and you people came in SECOND FROM LAST IN THE WORLD IN MATH & SCI. Stop whinning and go build something.
hehe, search the history of ships retardo. indians invented ships.
1) i am not denying various innovations that americans have done, but none of them have been done by the real white-people – the north-western european vandals.
2) there is no such thing as a white-race … except for the pinnochio long-nose long face 6″4 and above blondes you are all mutts with indians (in the eastern europe where we invaded you from), in the south with the arabs, and all throughout by the iberians (pinkskin-redheads)
3) go to school you illiterate schizo. wikipedia scientist. there is a reason why professors don’t consider wikipedia as a source of reliable information. its because it makes morons like you. indians ruled over the entire indian ocean and south-east asia, and traded with the greeks for millenias before you pinnochio snow-nigger monkeys came find out about something called civilization. india was socialist for some time … i agree that the government of india and the law & order situation in the country is aweful. but whose system is htat anyway? you pinnochios’ system that the unsuspecting indians are still using.
4) you are brainwashed by your schizo nazi brothers who wrote your fictional textbooks. go to university and learn from real professors.
whats your real name anyway? whats your real income? considering your intellect and your general knowledge i can assume that you are some third-class programmer.
5) the greeks, the egyptians, the illyrians and the jews all got their knowledge as well as language from us. look at the world history map at around 1AD. you monkies were still running around in jungles.
6) monkey worshipping is due to error in translation. vanir means both the people of north-western india as well as a monkey (albeit in different dialects). the vanir are the same people who gave you nordics civilization along with the afghan thors and the south-indian aesirs. the redhead roundface pinkskins vanirs worshipped our central-indian kings.
you continue showing your utter ignorance, poor language comprehension and schizophrenic inability to see reality. the OECD result is an aggregate result dealing with a english as a foreign language (the scores of which can not be mistaken for the scores of the past). in applied mathematics and sciences also i concede that indians aren’t that good, currently, due to the education system. but in theoretical knowledge being from here myself i know how much better i am than americans, blondes, chinese and europeans, having taken calculus 4 during my very first semester while americans and the chinese are scared of taking anything beyond calc 1. i computer science i used to help people about to graduate do their homework while i was in my first semester. and i am not even close to being the best in either of those in india.
plus 99% of americans are partying and whining losers. they are leeches who should be glad to have had the opportunity to speak our language, learn our mathematics and sciences from our professors and in our company.
having said that, the OECD test seems like a propaganda test, having chosen the partying type students for testing from not the best educated states and cities of the country.
besides, present is no indication of the past. look at greece’s bankruptcy and the mongolian pathetic helplessness.
survival of the fittest, re-jungledom to the schizos.
“hehe, search the history of ships retardo. indians invented ships.”
Afraid not. Indians got ships from the Egyptians, who invented them:
“By around 3000 BC, Ancient Egyptians knew how to assemble wooden planks into a hull.[9] They used woven straps to lash the planks together,[9] and reeds or grass stuffed between the planks helped to seal the seams.[9][10] The Greek historian and geographer Agatharchides had documented ship-faring among the early Egyptians: “During the prosperous period of the Old Kingdom, between the 30th and 25th centuries B. C., the river-routes were kept in order, and Egyptian ships sailed the Red Sea as far as the myrrh-country.”[11] Sneferu’s ancient cedar wood ship Praise of the Two Lands is the first reference recorded (2613 BCE) to a ship being referred to by name.[12]
The ancient Egyptians were perfectly at ease building sailboats. A remarkable example of their shipbuilding skills was the Khufu ship, a vessel 143 feet (44 m) in length entombed at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza around 2500 BC and found intact in 1954. According to Herodotus, the Egyptians made the first circumnavigation of Africa around 600 BC.
It is known that ancient Nubia/Axum traded with India, and there is evidence that ships from Northeast Africa may have sailed back and forth between India/Sri Lanka and Nubia trading goods and even to Persia, Himyar and Rome.[13] Aksum was known by the Greeks for having seaports for ships from Greece and Yemen.[14]”
Looks like yet another invention Indians claimed to have created but didn’t. The WHOLE WORLD except India acknowledges this history but brainwashed Indians like you don’t because you were fed lies in school. According to you, Indians invented everything. The whole rest of the world disagrees with you. If you had invented ships, Indians would have expanded out into the world long before Egyptians and Europeans. The fact that you didn’t proves you didn’t invent ships.
“1) i am not denying various innovations that americans have done, but none of them have been done by the real white-people – the north-western european vandals.”
Thomas Edison, Wright Brothers, Steve Wozniack, Henry Ford, Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce, Alexander Graham Bell, Kernighan & Richie, Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, the list goes on and on and on – all white Americans. Jobs was born in USA. His father was a Syrian deadbeat but Syrians aren’t Indians. His mother was a white American. I am still waiting for you to NAME the inventions Indians made in the US.
“2) there is no such thing as a white-race … except for the pinnochio long-nose long face 6″4 and above blondes you are all mutts with indians (in the eastern europe where we invaded you from), in the south with the arabs, and all throughout by the iberians (pinkskin-redheads)”
Nordic, germanic, and celtic people are all well-known white people as are galic and Irish. Arabs are a combination of blacks and white Europeans take a look at at map and see how close N. Africa is to southern Europe. Indians got their arses kicked by Alexander the Great (Greek), then by Muslim invaders, then finally by Brits. You never conquered anyone. Stop believing your fake history that only exists in your history books but nowhere else in the world. LOL. The white race brought civilization to the world which is why you are racing to copy us so fast.
“3) go to school you illiterate schizo. wikipedia scientist. there is a reason why professors don’t consider wikipedia as a source of reliable information.”
Wikipedia is accepted worldwide as the #1 online encyclopedia. Even if it weren’t you could look it up in any printed encyclopedia. Incorrect info doesn’t last long on Wilipedia.
“its because it makes morons like you. indians ruled over the entire indian ocean and south-east asia, and traded with the greeks for millenias before you pinnochio snow-nigger monkeys came find out about something called civilization.”
Indians never ruled jack except for your little subcontinent. The Greeks and Egyptians came to you, you didn’t go to them. Ancient greeks are known worldwide for most of the world’s math, science, and astronomy. Every hear of Pytahgoras? How about Plato? How about Alexander the Great? They weren’t Indians. While they were building monumental civilizations, you were sitting around worshiping Shiva and drinking cow urine. Europe got all its civilization from the Greeks and Romans, not from India. From there is spread to the USA when Europeans settled America, and then because of our genius, we have now spread civilization to the whole world including India and China. Without us and the internet, and jobs we give you, you’d have zip. For a people who never invented anything, you sure are arrogant. Stop being jealous of us and put that energy to productive use cleaning up India.
“india was socialist for some time … i agree that the government of india and the law & order situation in the country is aweful. but whose system is htat anyway? you pinnochios’ system that the unsuspecting indians are still using.”
No, it’s your system. Brits tried to civilize you and bring you civilization but that nut Ghandi talked you into rejecting it which is why you stagnated for so long. Now you are rushing to copy everything we invented. Your problem is your own corruption and culture, not white people.
“4) you are brainwashed by your schizo nazi brothers who wrote your fictional textbooks. go to university and learn from real professors.”
IIT is ranked 350th among world colleges and it can’t even get accreditation. US universities are recognized globally as the best in the world which is why 60,000 of you come here every year to get education from us. The history I described is accepted everywhere in the world except in your tiny little backwater. You can’t argue with the whole world.
“whats your real name anyway? whats your real income? considering your intellect and your general knowledge i can assume that you are some third-class programmer.”
Did you work at Apple and Sony writing software? Did you work on PlayStation at Sony? Have you written 20 commerical software products? No you didn’t. But I did. 3rd rate programmer? I don’t think so. I have my own company which makes about $20 million a year and I make about a million a year. Please tell us what companies you worked for and what projects you worked on. My IQ happens to be 160 – double the average Indian’s of 81. LOL.
“5) the greeks, the egyptians, the illyrians and the jews all got their knowledge as well as language from us. look at the world history map at around 1AD. you monkies were still running around in jungles.”
Nonsense. The Egyptians and then Greeks are recognized worldwide as the first advanced civiliations. What proof do you have that they got everything from you? There is no historical basis for what you claim anywhere in the world, nor recognized by any credible historians. The only place that claim is recognized is in India – which is because it’s false. History has settled these questions long ago and you’re simply wrong. Your schools have to pump you up and tell you Indians are the master race so you won’t overthrow your gov’t or feel inadequate about India’s low position in the world.
“6) monkey worshipping is due to error in translation.”
Let’s see – there’s Jaganatha, then there’s Vishnu, then there’s worshiping cows which are meant only for eating and milk, then there’s Ganesha. Nope, no errors in translation. These are all your gods. Pathetic. This is one of the biggest reasons your country is such a hellhole – worship of false gods.
“the redhead roundface pinkskins vanirs worshipped our central-indian kings.”
Wow, you sound just like Hitler. Take that “master race” talk somewhere else. It has no place in modern civilization. Indians simply are not the master race. Your country is a disaster, ILO/UN ranked you 54th in world worker productivity in 2008, and 2 months ago OECD ranked you SECOND FROM LAST in math & sci WORLDWIDE. Are you going to keep arguing you are superior to everyone else when in fact you are dead LAST in the world. Open your eyes to reality. A “master race” doesn’t produce that kind of failure.
“you continue showing your utter ignorance, poor language comprehension and schizophrenic inability to see reality. the OECD result is an aggregate result dealing with a english as a foreign language (the scores of which can not be mistaken for the scores of the past).”
No, it was a test in math & sci, which India refused to even participate in until 2 months ago. You wouldn’t participate because you were afraid you would come in last and you almost did. This was a math & sci test, not language. India came in 2nd from last worldwide. EVERY country in Africa scored higher than you people did. You can’t deny reality. Google “Indian students rank 2nd last in world”. It’s all over the web. Every article you will find says it was a math & sci test. Stop denying reality.
“in applied mathematics and sciences also i concede that indians aren’t that good, currently, due to the education system. but in theoretical knowledge being from here myself i know how much better i am than americans, blondes, chinese and europeans”
There you go again with that master race talk. Indians scored FOURTEENTH in the 2008 International Math Olympiad. Chinese scored #1. Americans scored #2. You people aren’t even in the top TEN. You sit there and claim “I’m better than you” when you don’t even know me. Totally irrational. You are suffering from an inferiority complex and you compensate by boasting. You can’t possibly say “I’m better than you”, without even knowing the other person. Stop boasting.
“having taken calculus 4 during my very first semester while americans and the chinese are scared of taking anything beyond calc 1.”
Nonsense. There are millions of brilliant Americans in math. Chinese are quite smart in math too. Why did India score FOURTEENTH in the 2008 International Math Olympiad when Chinese and USA took #1, and #2? I don’t know where you get your information from but American TV and Hollywood are not representative of most of America. You’re watching too many US movies. We’re not all dumb like you think. We INVENTED IT and you didn’t. We’re the only country to put a manned space shuttle in orbit. And you think we’re bad at math? Where’s India’s manned space shuttle?
“i computer science i used to help people about to graduate do their homework while i was in my first semester. and i am not even close to being the best in either of those in india.”
What commercial software products have you written? What contributions have you made to computer science? I can send you a list of 100 US IT companies destroyed by Indians. Including Bell Labs which was ruined by Arun Netravalli. Bell Labs is where the IC, UNIX and C programming languages were created (by white people). Now it’s being turned into a shopping mall thanks to Mr. Netravalli. Sun Micro, PeopleSoft, Microsoft is in decline. Quark was almost destoyed by Allakah Kamar. The list goes on and on. I know firsthand because I have worked in software for 20 years and I watched it happen. You people are the worst in the world at IT. Stop being delusional.
“plus 99% of americans are partying and whining losers.”
There you go again – you’ve been watching too much American TV. WE INVENTED IT. WE INVENTED PCs and SOFTWARE. We must not be “losers” if we invented all this. India has invented nothing. Indians are whinning losers that USA won’t let more of you in and you complain you can’t get enough work visas in the US. THAT’S BECAUSE EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH HERE DIES AND WE CAN’T TAKE THE DAMAGE YOU CAUSE ANYMORE.
“they are leeches who should be glad to have had the opportunity to speak our language, learn our mathematics and sciences from our professors and in our company.”
Search Google for: “Indian science on its deathbed”. You don’t have any math and science we need. That’s a delusion. I know they teach that to you in your schools, but we really don’t need anything you have. We invented IT all by ourselves long before you ever got here.
“having said that, the OECD test seems like a propaganda test, having chosen the partying type students for testing from not the best educated states and cities of the country.”
OECD is heavily biased in favor of developing countries and against developed countries – it’s basically a communist organization. The tests were carried out all over India and the rest of the world. I am quite sure they weren’t rigged. YOU NEED TO FACE REALITY. You are not the best in the world, not even close. Look at the mess that is your country. If you people were so brilliant then your country wouldn’t be such a mess. You’d have fixed it by now. You are simply in denial about reality. You’ve failed in the US, you’ve wrecked our economy, destroyed a number of our invaluable companies, destroyed tens of millions of jobs since 1998, you come in 14th at the IMO, OECD ranks you 2nd from last in the world, you have the highest illiteracy rate in the world, highest poverty rate, highest child prostitution rate, highest unemployment rate. You simply cannot argue you are the best in the face of all these FACTS.
“besides, present is no indication of the past. look at greece’s bankruptcy and the mongolian pathetic helplessness.”
Greece went bankrupt, UK went down the drain, so did USA because MILLIONS OF YOU HAVE BEEN COMING TO OUR COUNTRIES FOR 15 YEARS AND SUCKING THEM DRY. Before you people started invading, everything was stable, people had $, people could pay their loans, gov’ts had enough tax $. Do you think the BILLIONS you people send home every year from these countries might have something to with it? YOU people are the cause of the problem but you are IN DENIAL.
“survival of the fittest, re-jungledom to the schizos.”
India is the country still living like Aztecs 5000 years ago. The west isn’t going anywhere. You’ll be lucky if we even let you remain here.

An angry Rao has shot off a letter to PM Manmohan Singh highlighting the threat faced by the fragile structure of science in the country. “Indian science will be finished in the next five years. Our universities have dried up.
relatively so. u.s. has done a lot because of democracy and other freedoms during the last hundred years and is certainly ‘overall’ better than india for higher education.
besides, thats also talking about the recent past.
say bye bye to your short-lived pride.
Keep dreaming. India is going nowhere.
MUMBAI: Across the world, India is seen as an education powerhouse – based largely on the reputation of a few islands of academic excellence such as the IITs. But scratch the glossy surface of our education system and the picture turns seriously bleak.
Fifteen-year-old Indians who were put, for the first time, on a global stage stood second to last, only beating Kyrgyzstan when tested on their reading, math and science abilities.
Mr Wakjob,
Don’t get angry and furstrated by reading the comments of indians. Infact, indian media has brain washed the indians by saying that americans are stupid, lazy etc. The real thing is that in india, even a 50 $ salary is a high wage amount, hence everyone wants to flock it. Even I was never in favor of globalisation, because I did not like this thing that the jobs of americans are taken away. Indians must develop india. That’s also not happening. We both are in same boat.
Why blame immigrants? Because they caused the problem. EVERY immigration wave to the US since 1900 has caused recession:
Every immigration wave to the U.S. since 1900 has led to recession or depression. The late 1998-2000 wave was the biggest in U.S. history – bigger than the one from 1906-1920. Historical facts do not lie. Here is the history of immigration and recession to America since 1900:
1906-1920 – Huge wave from Europe – Great Depression in 1929.
1965 – Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Reform Act – Big recession 1973-1981
1990 – H-1B started – recession 1991-1993
Oct. 1998 – H-1B caps raised form 65,000 to 115,000 per year – collapse in 2001.
Apri 2000 – H-1B caps raised from 115,000 per year to 195,000 per year – collapse in 2008.
The fake “recovery” in the mid 2000′s was no recovery – just cheap Fed credit making up for Americans losing their jobs.
America was built by Americans. Every buildup leads to immigrant takers who come in when times are good, strip the economy, then leave when times are bad – as they are now.
84% of the current U.S. population was born here. Do you seriously expect us to believe that 84% of the natives live off the work of the other 16% immigrants? Come on, stop being either a liar or delusional. Immigration is a disaster for America.
China and India don’t have open borders. Did I mention they are booming.
Free Trade caused WW2 – America in the 1920s sold its scrap steel to Japan and England’s Rolls Royce sold aircraft engines and factories to Hitler. We all know how that turned out.
you clearly have no idea about even a teenie weenie bit of economics. schizo fools like you are the reason why u.s. gets indians and chinese.
all economies are cyclical, especially developed ones. the recessions had nothing to do with the immigrants – the tech industries had constantly flourished and are still the driving factors of the u.s. economies. all the mistakes done were done by the born-there u.s.americans.
the economies of india and china appear to be booming as a percentage of barely being there. (10 is a higher percentage of 100x economy size as growth as opposed to of 10000x economy size).
there are only three things that are good about u.s. though – 1) media promotion of innovation 2) accountable government 3) california
btw, check per capita income and/or patents of different ethnicities in u.s. (slavics, indians, chinese vs anglos iberians mexicans and sub-saharans)
free trade did not cause ww2. ww2 was caused because anglo-americans were oppressing germany into an north-korea type misery.
u.s. economy had become relatively big only because indian economy had gone down during the 90 years of english rule over the 1/3rd of india that they had deceptively gained hegemonic control over. the chinese never had a large economy – they had always been fighting with each other.
I have a US in Business Administration with a minor in Economics from a top private N. California college and I have 20 years’ experience in the software industry including writing software for Apple and Sony. Now what are your qualifications loser?
US gets Indians and Chinese because NASSCOM and other foreign lobbying groups are paying our politicians. And because you have threatened us with nuclear war. Funny, but China had 30 years of growth without any “cycles”. “Cycles” are caused by disruptions such as the ones you are causing in the USA right now with your IT Griftology Racket. The US was BOOMING before you people got here. You’ve been here 14 years and it’s been nothing but downhill since. Tech industries had not constantly flourished – we had a huge tech collapse in 2001 (2 years after you started arriving here), and in 2007 (thanks to you not producing any new innovations. Arun Netravlli destroyed Bell Labs where UNIX and C were invented. Now it’s being turned into a shopping mall. If Apple (which is run and staffed by Americans) had not invented the mobile markets and OS X, tech would have died a long time ago. When we native-born Americans were running tech the US economy was BOOMING. 14 years of you people running tech in the USA has led to DISASTER. Like I said, Apple is all the proof we need. Google, staffed by Indians is already on the way down. Good job maderchod. If we made all the mistakes then how did we invent this industry long before you ever came here? India and China’s economies are already in decline. All your “growth” was nothing more than millions of you coming to the USA and ripping us off and sending $50 billion a year back to India. Bank robbers can claim “growth” too. Now that we are cutting off your access to our job market, all of a sudden your economic “growth” is slowing way down. Don’t mistake Griftology and Theft for “growth”, conman. You can’t claim iPhone and iPad are “media promotion of innovation”. Where is the Apple of India? Where is the new innovation in India? You people can’t even produce a commerical operating system, let alone an iPhone. I don’t think Apple is “media promotion”. And you think the US gov’t is accountable? HA! US Congress has a 9% approval rating right now in the US. California is going BANKRUPT because of you people. When WE ran Silicon Valley the state of CA had a HUGE tax SURPLUS (1998). Look it up moron. Anyone can file a patent. How many products have you created? Name one US business started and made profitable entirely by Indian or Chinese immigrants. You can’t – because there are none. HAHA! Fakers! Anglo Americans were oppressing Germany? That’s a good one. Hitler rolled all over Europe and bombed London with the very Rolls Royce aircraft engines that RR sold to Germany. Without that trade and tech transferrence, Hitler never could have carried out his conquest. Learn some real history – not the history taught to you in your brainwashing schools. According to you every single negative event and problem in the world is “Anglo’s” fault but you fail to realize USA has given the world every modern convenience and everything that makes up civilization. Stop being so ungrateful. Would any of you lazy bums have IT jobs if we hadn’t invented IT first? No, you wouldn’t. Learn some history. USA passed The Trading With Enemies Act in 1942 because the US gov’t realized US trade with our enemies was one of the prime causes of WW2. Go look it up in the Federal Register moron. TRADING WITH ENEMIES ACT. You do know how to use Wikipedia, don’t you? LOL.
wikipedia is written by morons like you. talk to some real professors you schizo propaganda-brainwashed smartass.
look at how much the american companies in india are taking back.
us was booming because us was like india before the 1950s. when you are at 10 on a 100 point scane, and don’t have civil crises you are always booming.
look at ives and jobs … ives looks like a descendant of the central asian invaders of europe, and jobs is a proven arab. not an iberian, smartass.
i am not going to respond to your foolish statements any longer. almost all of your statements are unfound and poorly thought of. there are other americans smarter than you who you’d better argue this non-sense with.
like all schizos you’ll most likely end up on the street. let the better americans, slavics, arabs, chinese, koreans and us aryans take jobs of morons like you. go starve in peace.
Wikipedia is recognized worldwide as the #1 online encyclopedia. Non-resident Indians send $50 BILLION every year out of the US to India. And that’s just from the US. And unlike Indian companies, American companies actually produce things people want to buy. Maybe if India could produce its own iPhone Apple wouldn’t need to sell there.
US was booming because IT was staffed with Americans, who invented it. Now that you people are running it, the US is a disaster. The “crisis” in the US was caused by the incompetence and failure of you people. You disrupting our stable economy is what caused the crisis. This is what happens when an economy opens up to fakers. Jonny IVE (not ives) is a white Brit. Just because he has a tan doesn’t mean he’s Indian. LOL. Jobs was born here and his mother was a white American. His father was an irresponsible freeloading deadbeat Syrian immigrant, like most of you immigrants are. Next you will be saying Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce or Bill Gates of Steve Wozniak are Indian too. LOL. GOOD ONE! HAAH! You are making a fool out of yourself.
Tell me did you write software at Apple and Sony? Did you work on PlayStation at Sony? I did. What are your accomplishments moron? You’re not going to respond because you can’t – there are no major inventions by Indians in the US nor any companies founded entirely by them without the help of Americans. If there were you would have named them by now. You lost the argument. Sorry.
Looks like you’re targeting Germany and Japan now for jobs since you’ve DESTROYED all the jobs you took from US, UK, Oz, and everywhere else you go. China and India have yet to even produce their own commercial operating systems. Meanwhile AMERICAN-RUN APPLE continues to amaze and dazzle people. In fact, it’s about to overtake Google.
It’s quite amusing watching you job beggars go from one country to the next begging for jobs created by other people, and then destroying everything in your path. Invade, con, take over, rip off, destroy, move on. That is how you people live and that is why the world is in such dire economic trouble now. You’re the ones who will be starving when you run out of countries to con. HAHA! Your days in the USA are over.
That is simply not true. He seems to be mostly engaged in fraudulenty making a case of foreign visa worker programs like the H-1B which are used to throw qualified Americans out of their jobs because of the (often illegal) wage disparities that the visa programs cause. That is the exact opposite of making America more competitive. It just makes American worse.
Detroit – He is a proponent of H1B programs to save jobs from being outsourced outside of America. Cost disparities is a big factor for service oriented organizations to outsource, mostly 40% or more of the total costs are employee costs and they will hire them where they are cheaper. For example, Citicards call center is in South Dakota as its cheaper to hire people there as compared to New York.
In terms of engineering, US is really low in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics graduates (STEM) and therefore, jobs will either go outside or immigrants will be brought into America using visas like H1B. Once the current student population takes up STEM subjects, it will be a different story.
H-1B visas have been called the “outsourcing visa” because they enable, not prevent the offshoring of jobs. As someone who has worked in software for 16 years, I have seen firsthand how people who have never seen a lightswitch and brought into American companies, plopped down in chairs, and then TRAINED by Americans so they could return home and do the jobs from India. H-1Bs FACILITATE the offshoring of jobs, rather than preventing offshoring. The fact is, India is a 3rd world country whose people have little skills. They GET the skills by coming here and learning from us. 20 years of H-1B has ENABLED all of our industries to be shipped offshore. Before that, China and India couldn’t even dream of competing with us because they didn’t have the skills or know-how we have. STOP THE LIES. These jobs CANNOT go offshore without first bringing foreign workers to America and TRAINING THEM here. We must STOP H-1B and other work visas if we want to stop jobs going offshore. The cost savings of offshoring has already been debunked in numerous places.
The myth of the “stupid American” has already been debunked my Dr. Norm Matloff, Ron Hira, and others. American STEM kids are just as good, if not better than other countries. The myth of American stupidity is just more propaganda by NASSCOM and the high-tech junta who wants to take jobs from Americans. In the 2008 International Math Olympiad, Americans placed SECOND and Indians placed FOURTEENTH. A OECD study last month ranked India’s math and science students SECOND FROM LAST in world rankings – even behind most African countries, Congo, Ecuador, and Guatemala. Google it: “OECD study ranks India’s math students second from last”.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/Indian-students-rank-2nd-last-in-global-test/articleshow/11492508.cms
A 2008 ILO/UN report ranked India’s workers FIFTY FOURTH in world productivity among the world’s workers. American workers? SECOND. STOP THE LIES. India’s workers are the LEAST capable and qualified in the world! If Americans are so dumb then how did we invent the IT industry long before Indians ever got involved. They’ve been running the US IT economy (except for Apple) for the past 14 years and it’s collapsed. If they are so brilliant then why isn’t it booming? Americans are not low in STEM. That is a NASSCOM propaganda myth desgined to justify brining on more Indian burglars to rob America blind. Americans aren’t listening to NASSCOM propaganda anymore.
You must mean like the Indian who just got caught red-handed claiming to have invented email only to be laughed off the web because he lied about it and didn’t actually invent email. Come on, no one believes this “Americans are stupid” crap anymore – we invented everything, India invented nothing (except maybe Chess). Stop lying.
Jobs will not go outside. It’s actually very difficult to run offshore projects because of time differences, infrastructure, cultural differences, etc. Many many offshored projects have been brought back to the US because of failure. (See my list below). If more 3rd worlders are brought to America claiming to be geniuses, we will see the economy sink even further as the vast majority of them are conmen with fake degrees coming here to live off America. Google “PhDs for sale in Punjab” and see what you find. This whole charade is a huge con. Other countries do not have the capability to jobs like software. Can you name the commerical operating system from India that anyone uses? Can you name one software application written by India that anyone uses? No you can’t because they’re not capable of producing any. Offshoring has been a MISERABLE FAILURE for the US as our economy has sunk into the toilet while very little innovation has been produced to keep our companies afloat. Apple CLOSED their R&D in India in 2006. Oh wait….. Apple is still staffed by Americans and it’s booming.
Americans students are not about to take up STEM since they know when they graduate they will be facing an angry Indian on the other side of the hiring desk who has a grudge against white people because of Britain’s colonization of India 200 years ago. Americans kids are being discouraged from entering STEM because they have no job prospects when they graduate DUE TO THE FACT THAT 3.2 MILLION INDIANS ARE IN THE USA TAKING OVER THE IT INDUSTRY AND THEY ONLY HIRE OTHER INDIANS. Would you go $60K into debt for a degree in a field in which you know you have zero chance of getting a job.

Wakjob – We wish there was a list of all the contributions Indians have made. Great effort compiling the list of ‘failed’ Indian initiatives, though. Thanks
Go ahead and name all the great contributions Indians made – if you can. No such list exists because they have made very few contributions.
I have yet to use a software product engineered by the Indian software industry. Really sad. They keep making mostly untrue statements about how they are superior to Americans yet I can search day and night and not really find anything they have made.
Oh wait. I just realized there is one. They invented Email! Next they will be telling us they invented the computer. What a laugh!
Detroit – We agree with you here. But Indians are on right track and in a few years they will start coming out with new products. Indian IT is mostly a service oriented economy but Indians have started dabbling on the product side too. Here are some examples – Zoho, Inmobi, Freshdesk, Slideshare, Interviewstreet etc.
People inspire people and in a few years other Indian entrepreneurs will be inspired by India success.
They have been saying they will be coming out with new products for the past 10 years. When is it going to happen? And will the new products provide the 28 million jobs lost in the US since 1998? Will India’s “new products” provide 20 million jobs for Americans the way all OUR jobs have provided tens of millions of jobs for India and China? If not, then globalization and India are a FARCE. Globalization is benefitting “developing” countries and destroying developed ones. Is that fair? The world economy is a wreck right now precisely because countries like India and China have not been pulling their weight in terms of creating new industries and jobs for the world. America and Americans have created every single modern industry, but everyone else has ended up with all the jobs. Due to the Great Globalization Job Rob. Is that fair? Stealing from people is fair just because some people are too poor or lazy to create their own jobs? No one uses Zoho, Inmobi, Freshdesk, Slideshare, Interviewstreet, nor have most people heard of them. If that is the best new product creation India can come up with then the world is in big trouble. And thanks for letting us know that you are, in fact an Indian, by your Hinglish – now we know for sure that you have an Indian agenda to push.
globalization has really slowed the indian growth by deceptively stealing the best minds after deceptively stealing our resources.
as for the benefits to u.s. imagine paying 4 times as much for everything you buy. you get the point (maybe you, specifically you, don’t).
BTW, one good advice … maybe you want to keep your retarded arrogance to yourself. i came back to india after 10 years from u.s. and these indians don’t take insults lightly – YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.
No, your ahem… “growth”…. has slowed because you’re all being ejected from the developed countries and you’ve lost hosts to feed off. Bank robbers can claim their bank account is “growing” too. Don’t confuse mere theft with real productive “growth”. Back in 1998 when Americans were paid high salaries and everything was way more expensive, the US economy was booming. $1 is too much for a T-shirt at Wal-Mart if you don’t have a job to buy it with. Cheap products lead to lower salaries and lower salaries lead to a slowdown in demand because people don’t have as much $ to spend. “Cheaper” is not better. “Cheaper” destroys economies, not build them. Take your bottom-feeding mentality and go back to India because it is destroying the world economy. Apple products are some of the most expensive in the world but everyone wants them anyway. No one wants crap Dell or Lenovo crap computers or junk software made in India that doesn’t work. CHEAPER IS HARMFUL TO ECONOMIES. Before YOU people drove wages through the floor Americans had no trouble paying for high-priced products.
I don’t think someone who is “retarded” could have gotten hired by Apple or work on PlayStation at Sony. Don’t assume things about someone you’ve never even met.
You came back to India after 10 years because you probably sucked $500,000 out of us and live like a king off it now in India. Or else you simply could no longer find a job here since you people destroyed them all.
Enjoy your stolen $ and never come back here again. Making threats over the internet is a violation of US Federal Law. I am reporting you and your IP address to the Department of Homeland Security. If you dare set foot in the US again, I’ll have you arrested for making threats. Terrorist!
Why would Indians go to all the trouble and hard work of creating new products when it is so much easier just to break into develope countries and rip off all their wealth and then leave? Indians are now targettting Japan because of all its jobs and wealth. You raped America blind, now you have to find a new host to live off. Parasites!
look at the indian per capita income in u.s. and the tax contributions thereof, look at the u.s. patent database … now look at how much of your social security comes from indians. i bet you got fired for being a stupid whiner.
as for indians starting great companies in u.s. most great companies are started when people are young 1) indians don’t have the social and cultural understanding of the american culture when they first get there while youhg, being unable to collaborate well despite being innovative 2) indians are allowed only to work under the companies that hired them – so those companies own all their innovations – students can’t work at all.
as for local innovation in india, the poor education system now due to the poor education system in the past discourages acceptance of new innovative product due to the buyers’ inability to properly understand the value of such products. the mass-media isn’t much good at spreading general awareness either.
i agree that it is wrong to leave the country for better living standards, although the term parasites is best applicable to the thieving schizo mudface barbarian vandals that the anglos have been.
enjoy shopping at leavesRus.
Oh I don’t doubt Indians have high incomes in the US – but you make those high incomes off high paying jobs WE created. Your organized crime rackets masquerading as IT shops take over everything WE created, then they suck all the $ out, then they collapse them, then they move on. 28 MILLION jobs have been destroyed in the US since you people started arriving here 14 years ago. If you were paying taxes our gov’t wouldn’t be deep in the red. 14 years ago when we ran Silicon Valley, the US gov’t had a huge tax SURPLUS. Indians aren’t paying taxes. You are known as the “Jews of Asia” for a reason. America makes, India takes. Don’t think for one second we don’t understand your organized crime rackets in the US. The Italian mob in NY has lots of $ too. Vivek Wadhwa’s studies proved most entrepreneurs start companies when they are between 40-50. Most companies started by any young people fail. 90% of them fail. The bottom line is if you’re not qualified, or not able to start a company here and make it profitable, you don’t deserve to be here. USA is not a test bed for your dreams using OUR capital to entertain your whims. USA means business. You fail, you’re out.
If you are innovative, then name your innovations.
Millions of you have become US citizens since coming here. You’re allowed to start companies if you want. And the thrust of this article is arguing that we should let millions more of you in to start companies. If you can’t do it, then you’ve just proved this article is wrong.
I don’t want to hear excuses as to WHY you can’t innovate or start profitable companies – I want to see you either do it, or else get out. This article is arguing you CAN come here and start successful companies, not WHY you can CAN’T.
Anglos have given the world every good thing. Go down the list of modern inventions in the past 100 years. 95% of them came from anglos. You blame and entire race today for something 500 evil Brits supposedly did to you 200 years ago. What have you been doing for the past 200 years to recover from it? In a mere 1/2 that time we’ve given the world everything. Where did you get your air travel from? From us. How about the PC, internet, and IT jobs? From us. How about modern antibiotics? From us. How about railroads and cars? From us. How about telephones and TV? From us. You only look at one historical event and demonize us as Satan. You never look at all the good we’ve done for the world.
Get over it man. Stop projecting 200 years of ancient history into the present. No one is stopping you now from developing but yourselves.
Wadwha isn’t even relevant any longer – Americans aren’t listening to his sideshow pitches. Who is?
NASSCOM might consider getting their money back because he has gone about promoting the indian temp worker industry entirely the wrong way. Alienating the people of the country where you’re trying to push your product is not the best approach and it clearly shows.
Drifter – We disagree, just because Wadhwa is originally from India does not mean that he is an agent of NASSCOM. Will you think that the failure of Solyndra or the Chinese making cheaper solar panels to outbusiness American panel manufacturers has got anything to do with Energy Secretary Steven Chu being of Chinese descent?
Well he was WAS a researcher at Duke and he went on Lou Dobbs saying “I can assure you there is no shortage” – and then he suddenly flip-flopped and started saying the opposite. Why would that be when his OWN studies proved there is no shortage of skilled workers in the US? The only conclusion is that NASSCOM/Wipro/Tata/InfoSys saw his little bombshell on Lou Dobbs’ show and they went nuts co-opting him to shill for India, Inc. Come on we’re not stupid. We KNOW NASSCOM hired DC lobbying/PR firm Hill & Knowlton in 1998 to push ‘worker shortages” stories into US media. We KNOW NASSCOM bought the fake TIME cover story about the Indian who didn’t invent email but claimed to. Do you really think the American public does not know that it is being manipulated by India, Inc? Stop the lies. Wadhwa is obviously being paid by SOMEONE to shill – how else could he go from unknown reasearcher to media darling in less than a year if someone was not PAYING to secure those positions for him. He went from nobody unknown researcher to writing for BusinessWeek, WaPo, TED, and just about everyone else. That doesn’t happen unless there is some serious $ changing hands behind the scenes. India’s days of fooling and raping America are OVER. And yes, Steven Chu is also probably an industries spy – just as When Ho Lee had been sent to HK first to make it look like he wasn’t working for the CCP so that he could get into America’s weapons labs and steal our SS-88 warhead design. Americans are on to what you Asians are doing to us and it’s not going to continue.
Wakjob: I am no fan of outsourcing to India or China or anywhere. Having run technology business bothin the US and India, I can guarantee that US STEM education is far superior to India’s.
But I disagree with your list of failures. You seen to confusing correlation with causality. Saying that Indian involvement was the sole cause of these failures is stretching the line.
Well I lived and worked in writing software in Silicon Valley for 16 years. I saw what went on. I witnessed the failures first hand. I HAD the immigrant Chinese QA Manager sit me down in a conference room with the new arrival from India and had him look me right in the eye and say “Our goal is to EXTRACT your knowledge and give it to so and so here”. I’ve seen the companies INVADED, TAKEN OVER, and DESTROYED by these people. Correlation may not equal causality, but then again it might. And in this case it does. I saw it happen first hand – every single company these people touch eventually goes into decline or dies.
wakjob, your nationalism has perhaps blinded you. you must be either from the south (south-east) or the central belt.
i’d like for you to present some facts. i can make a lit of 100 times more companies that have gone down that were run by anglo iberians.
as for knowledge extraction … where would you have been had the arabs not invented the electricity or the mechanical gears. how about the language that you speak that you got from us. and the wheel, drums n base, guitar, gun powder, paper, clothing, fire, oil, rockets, domestication of animals, construction, agriculture etc and more all of which were invented by indo-iranians. half your current music tunes and the fashion directly comes from india.
the idea is to share and progress. or we can always send you back to your jungles to run around naked in your jungles with mud painted faces. i agree that being overly kind is stupid too – but indians don’t do mistakes twice.
I lived and worked in Silicon Valley most of my life. I grew up on the east coast near New York. I had to leave CA after 19 years because faking frauds like you drove all the Americans out and ruined the place and collapsed the CA economy. Why do you make assumptions about people you’ve never even met. My IQ is 160 – double the average Indian’s. I worked at Apple and Sony writing software and you didn’t. Don’t lecture me about being a “redneck”.
“i can make a lit of 100 times more companies that have gone down that were run by anglo iberians.”
Go ahead. Let’s see the list.
Arabs did not invent electricity. It’s a natural phenomenon. Thomas Edison (a white American) invented the first commercially viable light bulb. The transistor, IC, and PC were all invented in USA by white Americans. White Europeans invented the printing press. English came from the Germanic langauges, not from Hindi. Besides that was probably 25,000 years ago. What have you done lately? What new industries have you invented to keep hundreds of millions employed worldwide, as we have? NONE. Every single modern industry and job you have today was first created by us.
Indians invented fire? That’s a REALLY good one. Fire is also a natural phenomenon. Why are you people so boastful and claim you invented everything when you didn’t? Papyrus is known worldwide as the first paper – it came from Mesopotamia – modern day Iran, not India. Modern guitars were invented during the Renassaisance and Baroque periods in Europe. There’s those damn pesky white people again! You didn’t invent rockets. American Dr. Robert Goddard is recognized worldwide as the originator of the rocket. Modern construction techniques were invented in America. So were skyscrapers. Modern agriculture techniques were also invented in America.
“The first powered farm implements in the early 19th century were portable engines – steam engines on wheels that could be used to drive mechanical farm machinery by way of a flexible belt. Around 1850, the first traction engines were developed from these, and were widely adopted for agricultural use. The first tractors were steam-powered plowing engines. They were used in pairs, placed on either side of a field to haul a plow back and forth between them using a wire cable. Where soil conditions permitted (as in the United States) steam tractors were used to direct-haul plows, but in the UK and elsewhere plowing engines were used for cable-hauled plowing instead. Steam-powered agricultural engines remained in use well into the 20th century until reliable internal combustion engines had been developed.[4]
In 1892, John Froelich invented and built the first gasoline/petrol-powered tractor in Clayton County, Iowa, USA.”
You didn’t invent jack. Most of the things you mentioned were created by ancient man all over the world in many locations. The first clothes were actually tree leaves and used all over the world. Half of our music comes from India? Oh man, now you are way out there. Check out the iTunes Store in the US and see how many Indian artists are there. Less than 1/1000th of 1%. And no, we don’t wear saris and dirty nightshirts in USA.
“Share and progress” is communism. You do not have the right to usurp what others worked to earn. That is called theft.
India is the biggest jungle in the world today. 600,000,000 of you take a dump on the open ground every single day. You drink cow urine. You live like Aztecs. The Festival of Colors is about as barbarian as one can image. We brought civilization to the world which you are now in the process of destroying. Where will you go and whom will you con once you’ve destroyed everything?
Delusional, as always.
USA doesn’t do mistakes twice either – which is why we are busy ejecting you all and not letting any more of you in.
the u.s. education system has only one aspect that is superior to that of india’s. the fact that it encourages thinking and understanding as opposed to just knowing more. indians know much more than americans and are harder working, yet the mentality required for the practical applicability of such knowledge isn’t that high per capita among indians.
the ease of doing business in india is also very low and original thought is discouraged. that is why the freedom of thought and of speech in u.s. is a great thing. the american work ethics (passed on through better maangement education and legal liability constraints through tort-law) also make the quality of work from the lesser knwoledgible u.s. american better than that of the more knowledgible indian in india but still lesser than the indian in u.s. who had become used to the american quality standards.
i have to say though, your knowledge of fallacies and ability to think is much better than that of wakjob.
We educate 60,000 of you dolts on OUR DIME every single year. US taxpayers pay for your educations here.
If you were harder working all our companies you invaded wouldn’t have collapsed and out gov’ts wouldn’t be going broke. And we would still have Bell Labs, Sun Micro, and PeopleSoft just to name a few. Obviously you weren’t even hard working enough to keep any of those going.
Americans invented IT. You destroyed it. I think we’re a little more knowledgeable than Indians are.
If Indians are so knowledgeable then please tell us all the great “work” Indians have done in the US. Not vague references – products, companies, technologies, name them. All you have done is sent us back to 1929 in just over a decade. Stop deluding yourselves. You’ve destroyed the US economy with your failure. And 3.2 million of you are still here wrecking our country.
I also agree that H-1B is most abused visa in the US and should be eliminated / limited to the extent possible.
every thing gets abused over time and new laws have to come up to fill in the loopholes. think online-gambling. think no-tax online ecommerce. think piracy.
There is NO precedent in US and possibly human history that parallels the destruction millions of Indians have wreaked on the US. Certainly in US history there has been no destruction even remotely as large as what India has done to the US in just over a decade. You have nearly succeded in erasing 100 years of progress in just over 10 years. You have destroyed countless billions in wealth and valuable companies, ruined the biggest economic expansion in US history (1992-1998), destroyed the lives of at least 30 million Americans, brought the US economy to its knees, and destroyed nearly every valuable institution we had that created all this tech. There simply is no precedent in US history for the sheer scale and size of the Indian IT Griftology Racket in the US. None. There has never been a bigger or more damaging con perpetrated on the American people ever. Not in 520 years.
Indians are master deceivers and manipulators and any and all laws we create to close loopholes will be circumvented by you conmen. Why do you think InfoSys is being investigated for criminal visa fraud and tax evasion? They couldn’t get more H-1Bs so they switched to L-1s. When that fraud was shut down thy switched to B1s, which are illegal if the person works here.
You can’t explain this one away – the whole country and even the gov’t know that YOU people are the casue of this disaster of epic proportions.
Think DEPORTATION and DENIAL OF WORK VISAS AND GREEN CARDS because that is how we are going to solve the Indian Problem.

Mr.Wakjob,
I was rescued from a German Concentration camp by American Army.To this date I spend many week ends cleaning and washing graves in Arlington Va.I also spend time providing free help to wounded veterans and their families.America is the greatest country because of the freedoms enjoyed by the Citizens.I have given two of my boys to this country and they paid with their lives to defend this country.
Yes their are people who abuse our hospitality and our society.
I am sad to note that people who kick us are the ones who do not want to go to their native countries.
I\On my first visit to Iraq I was given a muslim Baby girl by a distraught mother.She wanted her baby to grow in a christian society and not in an Islamic country.That baby girl is now 12 years old growing up in a devout catholic home.Her mother sends me letter every month thanking me for giving her daughter in new country.The girl Rubia Hussain is now Rose Bahn .This is what America is.She wants to be a Nun when she grows up.We will let her make her own choices when the times comes.
I for one want my ashes to be spread in lakes and rivers of this mighty country so that they will forever be part of this wonderful and brave country.
