2003 - Fight Against Terror; 2004 - Fight Against Error

By Karthik , 9 March 2004

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
