"Socialism" in India these days is pretty much limited to electric power ~ like California, the government pays the bills.

When Enron took on both India and California at the same time it was just a matter of time until Enron would go down hard, which it did!

"Class riven" is an inadequate term for the "caste system". UK is "class riven", as is Deutschland and the Frankenreich. Indians generally wish that they were merely "class riven".

"Suttee" or "sate" never really went away either, and in a society without an effective social security system (the very hallmark of socialism) poor families really have no way to care for their elderly widows. This business of killing brides over the question of dower was just as frequent under the Raj as it is today ~ but it was generally not reported!

The real issue here is that innocent people are being murdered and no one cares. Kind of like the abortion situation in America where the innocent are murdered with full protection of the law and the government's guns.

I was trying to be kind, but you are correct. The fundamtal issue is that their government and social structure impedes effective competition in IT or anything else.

? They will not change and those IT jobs we currently mourn will come home soon enough.
