there are not many indian companies that operate globally like the FORTUNE 500 american firms or japenese firms. india is toddler in global MNCs compared to america.
why rip india for not employing foreigners? i worked in an small company in boston and it was owned by an indian, it had chinese,russians, americans, indians... don't just blame india blindly. there maybe cases where you might see more indians in a particular, it could be because no white man wants to work for an indian owned firm. why that can't be the reason? or maybe they may not find any takers for jobs from local population for some reason. until you know the reason don't just blame any race or country blindly.
seriously how many americans are willing to work for indian companies for the salary that is low from what they are used to earning.
if so many american techies are without jobs we should see people lining up for jobs even at lower rates in america. i don't see that trend. i live in america, and i don't see many americans willing to come down on their salary expectations. evey damn programmer wants a six figure salary here. wake up to the changed realities.
