With more and more americans blinding themselves to the fact that it's american companies that are outsourcing their mundane jobs to India et. al., indian companies are coming under a fresh spate of attacks, as election frenzied americans bay for some indian (as in the patels, kumars, sivaramakrishnans etc.; not the sitting bulls or crazy horses - they finished them off a long time ago :P) blood. A fresh slew of articles appeared today in The Economic Times [here, here, here, here and finally a collection of amusing cartoons doing the rounds here.

"Amid rising hostility towards India and Indian companies, Scott Kirwin, who leads an anti-outsourcing movement in the US, had this to say when asked what he would prefer if he had a choice between companies outsourcing some jobs from US while keeping the rest there, or pulling all of them out because of the anti-outsourcing heat: Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

On the other side of the door, it seems, is waits Canada."

I wonder if Scott Kirwin still considers himself unemployed - He seems to be giving interviews at a dime a dozen. I'm sure they add up to a princely sum ;P

P.S Pardon the corny title - just couldn't resist ;D
