While my upbringing in Bangalore was rather different than the life portrayed in this documentary, I have to admit that the film did a fantastic job of highlighting some of the issues that Bangalore is having to deal with. The idea that the youth of India are being brain washed into Zombies I think is becoming more true regardless of their field of study. It is as if our universities are akin to Zombie training camps where the process of learning is substituted by the (much more superfucial) process of memorization.Another interesting dynamic that was well documented here was that of the frustrated lower middle class and their cries for a more balanced society. Having said all of this, I think the show failed to provide an explanation for the elephant in the room. I am talking about why, despite all the apparent hardships of Indian life, people are quite happy. There is a simple and logical answer to that one but before I delve into it I need a break for dinner :).

I know you can get another job. The civillian sector has lots of gov contracts. I think 6 wks in a trade school to change professions, like maybe plumbing. I grew up very poor. I was one of the poorest kids in my town. I would do any job to make money. Cleaning cow pens, plumbers helper etc. Get another job, or start seriously looking for a computer programming job. There are a few in California.

Outsourcing of programmers isn't really that prevalent. The majority of those jobs are pretty much basic java stupid applications. In other words, he probably got a tech degree. Not exactly Anyway, they forget something about outsourcing.
The whole outsourcing thing allows a company to survive to provide jobs for americans.
If many of these companies didn't outsource, they couldn't survive and none of these jobs would be there.99.999% of outsourcing is physical production

I blame a lot of this outsourcing of American jobs and careers on the global economy and the WTO. This guy considers himself luck now that he lives in America, but he won't be saying that within 5 years, when America becomes officially a third world country and our government will mask all our problems. People need to wake up and take action before it's too late.........but maybe I'm wrong and it is too late.

After seeing this, I am sorry to say, "Who cares." There better be more riots, then that might make those companies think twice before outsourcing. I have spoken.
