If what you are saying in the first para is true then it is a criminally fraudulent practice and laid off Americans were right to sue Disney. As for Indian workers and low wages - that is their appeal! and as far as I am aware they are mostly contractors not full time employees thus as long as...

I agree, India at present is a major software vendor which would be difficult to replace - Difficult but not impossible! IT sector in India is mostly about abundant low skill HR and there are others who are placed excellently to fill the gap. The only thing required to keep the ball rolling is...

Well India and US have a major difference in opinion regarding how to interpret IPR laws. More and more countries are coming around to US PoV as evidenced by successful sign off of TPP. As for RCEP, wake me up when it materializes, it would be fun to watch India and China arrive at an equitable...

I am vehemently against US companies laying off Americans for cheap labor found over-seas be in India or elsewhere but the crux of the matter is for American companies to remain competitive they need to lower costs and hiring Indians is extremely cost-effective. If one company starts hiring...

It won't happen with a jerk. We will start transitioning by building capacity in say BD, Nepal, Srilanka, Pakistan, Vietnam, Philippines. First you would see some minor accounts shifting but later after a year or two the big accounts will start shifting. US companies may incur some extra cost...

My My!!! I just said it like how it is. Did I defend China's record? No! Why? Because a Chinese poster didn't reference me quoting China's IPR performance - Which for the record is terrible. Easy with the innuendos! If you have something to say then say it straight rather than hurling a false...

Hey every Tom, Dick and Harry can threaten US. It's an altogether another matter if they can deliver. I say let's take away all the H1B visas and see how India responds with their IT industry going down the crapper.

Who would Pakistan want in the White House come 2017? 1. Trump 2. Hillary 3. Cruz 4. Sanders My view 1. Trump is going to be disastrous - He is an oaf who would destroy our delicate relationship with the subtlety of a wild buffalo. 2. Hillary - She is a status quo candidate and knows the...

Who are you kidding? India and IPR are poles apart. One only has to look at rampant patent infringement by Indian companies in Pharmaceuticals, Media and Entertainment and Software verticals. One of the main reasons India wasn't invited for TPP despite India wanting in thus leading it work on...

Thanks for the welcome! Does it involve some work? I am a lazy bum so don't count on me.

Hey! Piper here from land of brave and free. Ex- Servicewoman. I have made extended trips to S. Asia as a backpacker which has cultivated my interest in the region. Future Plans - Wine Taster? Just Kidding!!

That is one of the single biggest case for Pakistan having continued access to F-16 Jets notwithstanding Indian opposition. Congress would always make way for Pakistan if it means their constituents keep their job no matter how much India lobbies in senate and congress.

Don't be so snarky! My post was inquisitive in nature not declaratory. It is not altogether far fetched to assume that Rafales can undercut AMCA as there is little evidence at this stage that India would be successfully able to develop and induct full spectrum stealth in AMCA and barring...

This would require significant structural alterations specially if the propulsion and radar are changed. If all the quoted suggestions are incorporated then JF-17 will be a unique value proposition and will give tough competition to F-16 (V or Block 60) and Gripen NG, of-course US would have...

Has the design be frozen? If so what is the cost estimate for the program and production cost per unit? It is unlikely France would offer substantial help in AMCA as it will cut into their future Rafale orders, in absence of AMCA India would compelled to go for further order of Rafales to...

One can trust Chinese to act predictably hence their actions can be accounted for into our own moves. Russians of the other hand are a nightmare

True! I have visited both and average Pakistani city and town is cleaner. However some Indian cities like Mumbai and Goa are much more fun than anything in Pakistan.

Without the women and the wine - there would be no more France, French Men and the food leave much to be desired. Though I wouldn't mind raiding the Louvre if given a free run.

Only 300 Million out of 860 is for Military aid provided Congress signs off. Some of the money if not all has to come out of Pakistani pocket.

Thanks this post is much clearer however obviously there are idiosyncrasies to Indian politics and it's dynamics with Pakistan with which I am not familiar hence it is tough for me to comprehend the nuances. About Mexico being a fly on the wall for US - not correct. The drug problem from Mexico...
