>>There is a sea change in the attitude of the next generation of Appus. ------- I just do not agree with this and this is not right. I am also an appu i.e. an Indian. I want to migrate to the US and that is my intention. Unlike many other Indians who keep saying that Lifestyle is better in India and never go back from the US - Hipocracy, I accept the fact that I intend to immigrate. Of course I do love my country. If one talks so much about attitude and better lifestyle in India, why dont you and brother go back to India, since oppurtunities are great there and you can afford maids? Accept it - US lifestyle is better in India. As a matter of fact over the years more and more people have migrated and there is no change in attitude. Make no mistake, qualitify of life is definitely better in US than India penny by penny The argument that 10RS will buy equalent stuff to a dollar is an invalid argument. Take the complete picture. In India, quality of life is shit for middle class earning crowd compared to the big wigs, politicians and stars in the film industry. Middle class Indians are taxed to death and no infrastructre like roads, water etc are built. India, has more money than any country in Asia put together. But the political system in corrupt and politicians eat all the money even in the 21st century, lead a royal life and leave the country to dogs without developing anything for the common man. In US too political system is not entirely perfect, they waste money on Iraq and other countries, but at least they first built a solid infrastrure for their own country unlike India. All the argument that next generations of Indians going back and not interested in US is a fake and invalid argument. Today Chennai, Banaglore, and every nook and corner all people want to migrate. 10 years ago, only people in the core natural science sector were migrating to US. Today, you can see people with different backgrounds, political science, law, nutrition etc etc etc come to the US. Why? If you dont do science and engineering in India, you will be a pauper and will not get any job. US still provides jobs ($50k per year at least) once you graduate from the US. My second Point. For all those Americans arguing against H1-Bs - Just all of you are insecure and dont believe in your ability. It is just plain ignorance. I read several people arguing against this. One person has written that Microsoft wants to make only money and "it does not give jobs for Americans who have spent 1000s of dollars in education, but gives jobs to people from India and other countries who spent nothing or meagre amount and enjoyed life and suddenly came here and made gazillion dollars" -- what are you talking about. People in developing countries struggle everyday to get quality education. Education is not free and subsidized for many people like in the US. Many parents struggle, take loans and educate their kids. After going through tough time it is still not free to come to the US. We did not just sit inside a plane and land inside US and start making money. 2 - 3 years of hard work paying US lots and lots of money for visa, immigration, admissions, GRE, Toefl and all bullshit. No federal grants, aid nothing and after all this struggle if we want a job - lack of H1B's - what crap and the Americans who argue about this are ignorant. American kids get all sorts of resources spoon fed - aid, scholarships, money etc etc , big cars to drive around and still many of them flunk in their education. They only to party and have sex. and they want heft paying jobs and whine against immigrant. Common prove your self. Its a competitive world. Dont sit and act like cry babies. With all the wealth if you cannot educate your self and get yourself a good job, you dont have to right to stop immigrants from getting a job. In short - I support bill gates argument (even though I am not a supporter of Microsoft business policies) and encourage increasing H1Bs!. Bring it On! :)
