First of all the technical education you are referring to given by the public sector was lost in "the brain drain " phenomenon. You wouldn't have to be domiciled in Bangalore to know about it, everyone following the general news knows about it.
First of all, try to read and comprehend what is being read.
There was no 'technical education' that I referred to; read my post again. I referred to
the scientific and technical infrastructure that the public sector brought in;
There were laboratories, factories and a host of small scale industries, all of which created an ecosystem. It was this ecosystem that made Bangalore what it was, just as cotton and textile made Bombay what it was, or light engineering made Calcutta what it was.
Second, it was precisely the brain drain phenomenon that led to the rise of private education, as several cohorts of engineers were sucked out of these ecosystems, and fast replacements became necessary: so
tell me if the growth of private education in engineering and the creation of a critical mass of engineers to replace the ones we sucked out of the public sector was entirely a dream.
Perhaps you didn't notice it because I didn't use sound bites, or catch phrases like "the brain drain".
Secondly , whatever engineering/medical talent you are talking about developed in Bangalore by the public sector came in use very little uptill the late nineties. I would even say miniscule when compared to the enormous amount of usable talent that is both churned out by private institutions and immediately utilized because of the huge development of infrastructure particularly in the Services sector which never happened in the SM Krishna era ---no matter how "clean" or "dirty" the political stage was then, or how much any Vokkaliga family or Lingayat family looted ( coal scams , land allotment etc).
Again, shallow understanding leading to shallow conclusions. Perhaps the complex sentence is a forgotten language in the age of tweeting.
There was no suggestion that the engineering talent I was talking about (where did you get medical talent? thin air?) was a driver of growth in any respect other than to attract the pioneers of outsourcing to Bangalore in the first place, and to serve as a reservoir that was rapidly depleted by us during the 80s and the 90s, right through the millennium in fact. These are important enough, but they led to the growth of the private education industry, which limped along until the appetite of the body-shopping industry gave it muscle.
There is this incredibly uninformed phrase in your post which says:
usable talent that is both churned out by private institutions and immediately utilized because of the huge development of infrastructure particularly in the Services sector
Infrastructure had nothing to do with absorbing talent. They all came to us, asking for 'software' jobs, the civil engineers, the mechanical, the electric, the electronic, the whole lot. Huge amounts of training went into converting them to meet the increasingly larger demand. Talent was scarce, no matter what was done. People got onto planes scheduled for a particular project for a particular client, and were converted in mid-flight. This was the extreme, but I know of half-a-dozen cases of this sort. It doesn't take much more than that to form urban legend, and to drive the market crazy.
Incidentally, you sling around phrases and words at a furious rate, a faster rate than is healthy.
What infrastructure development was needed in the Services sector that was supplied by the private education industry? Hotels and hospitality? Transportation? Government automation? This sounds like that earlier brilliant phrase
...medical talent you are talking about developed in Bangalore by the public sector
The drivers of growth were the outsourcing and contracted project management sectors, the chip designers, the software maintenance business, not infrastructure. Infrastructure followed when masses of talent had to be housed in close proximity, and driven in from numerous locations, and the roadways that old Bangalore had proved to be hopelessly inadequate. Infrastructure followed when housing had to be found outside what we had in the 90s and the 80s. Infrastructure followed when in a moment of panic, it was thought that Bangalore itself would fall apart under the relentless pressure of growth in the software industry, and they started expanding the road to Mysore. Infrastructure followed when the roads collapsed under the pressure of vehicular traffic fuelled by increasing numbers of cars bought by highly paid talent - almost all concentrated in software, IT, electronics and consultancy - and a rapid transit system had to be built.
Hence I credit the BJP government with the "implementation" part ---potential or knowledge without application of it is useless as far as the state economic growth is concerned.
Being on the scene for the past seven years I only have to look around to see the amount of enormous engineering ( especially) talent that Bangalore attracts in droves now from all over India. And do you know why that is ?
Simply because the students coming here know that not only will they receive a quality education but good employment in high tech sectors as well , Electronics and Computer Science being among them .
This in turn spirals into a raise in living standards which is beyond doubt one of best available in Indian metros today.
I rest my case.
What case?
This happened decades before the BJP.
Does anything lie under this nonsense other than the desire to make a coherent argument for the BJP having driven growth?
The rest of your post is on par with the bits so far, and I shall deal with it separately. I deserve the break.
Its efficient not lovely. Going by your friends habit of quoting my posts and using innuendos --it seemed apt to be deployed then
Look I had no intention of getting up and personal but your acquaintance who so sweetly confirms to all your views happened to reply to my quotes with stupid one-liners and innuendos . Later when I pointed it out , he switched to what he does best apparently --- talk trash , look at his posts from the beginning.
Try not to selectively read posts
I am used to talking straight and taking you with your experience at your words . Why do you have to display your ID ?
Late 80's huh ? I had just been born then. I visited Bangalore once in the early nineties and it looked like a "HILL STATION" to me then.
Anyways I am not the only one who knows about Bangalore's transformation. Let me tell you many students from the north , way before I had even passed my 12th , were hesitant in going to Bangalore for their graduation.
Engineering degrees without employment to go with it appeals to no one.
My guess is you have lost touch with the ground realities a bit , but no offense , I might be wrong . I don't play on ego very much anyways.
Ah, the display of impersonal detachment!
I thought it would crop up.
Since I am still engaged with the city, live in Malleswaram on a permanent basis and retain my social relationships among the industrial and commercial CxO set, it is difficult to understand what you mean, except that you want to claim greater authenticity for yourself as being more in touch with the ground realities. A pretty specious way to buttress your own authority to speak on these subjects, but presumably the best card you have to play.
. You're basically a coward. You tried coming straight at me and you know I'll call you a faggot, so now you lurk around trying to get at me through others, very brave.
