Second class workers

Of the few occations I manage to read sam's blog, this BPO caught my attention. Yes, it is a sad truth that more than techonology development it is basically contract work that is being done. But I am unable to brush away this boom or whatever it is called in India as not very significant. But for this boom, scores of graduates would have been left with nothing better to do. Think about the other alternatives they would have had. Writing bank recruitments, railway recruitment, teacher recuirtment, civil service recruitment and few rare opportunities in the few of the India companies. So, I belive for an average middle class Indian this was and is definitely a boom and boon. But, it will be very unfortunate if we as a nation become satisfied with this. This IT boom has definitely drived the economy on a faster growth path. It is time we start producing something. Without manufacturing (be it software, hardware or automobiles) there can never be prosperity in any country   ¶ 9:52 PM
