Story: Dell admits Indian mistake

I agree a little bit that most Indians have English as their second language. But that doesn't mean that you have to paint everyone in the same brush. I am an Indian and brought up talking the English language and yes, I can say I speak it better than most others do. I can fluently speak English, French and Spanish at their own access and can understand. I however think the kind of work the Indians get in their call centre for the meansly pay of $ 150 - 200 a month is hard enough to cope up with endless abuse of the racists and Asia phobics.

I am working in a Fortune 500 company as a software engineer and I have seen the type of works Americans do. I am considering leaving my job because of the work I do and the pay I get as compared to the Americans. I am considering starting my own business.
