My comment: Absolutely, Indian development is not just about IT, since you specifically mentioned this point I wonder whether i infer otherwise in any of my posts? or did you lost my point?.

By your definition of visionaries, Perhaps we can conclude that bill gates wasn’t visionary as he didn’t think beyond his IT sector and didn’t diversify his empire!? I disagree that business people could ever have good times, there will always be issues even with fair amount of success.

so what abt the farmers? they shud come to the city as coolies for 10s and 20s or maybe get some rat poison and be done with once and for all?”

My comment: You are ignoring one important thing here, that agriculture land which is acquired by these companies are bought from government. This means they aren’t in cultivation or no farmer has ownership. If they buy from farmers then i’m sure they wouldn’t part with their land without proper compensation. By raising this issue and portraying it to be specific to IT i feel you have exaggerated problem a bit here. This is general problem related to our rising population and our limited resources, thats another subject of discussion. what i was pointing to Satish is that this has been going on for long time and now why blame IT alone?, Categorization & utilization of land depend on humans and not vice versa.

I wouldn’t agree with your opinion about FDI inflows and everyone has their opinions and i respect that!

My comment: To be honest, when i had first read this statement, I felt that there is lot of similarities between your and our communists opinions on FDIs. Opening up markets, implementing reforms and creating proper environment for local and foreign companies to conduct their operations with healthy competition should be seen as begging? and so you don’t care about lot of jobs & opportunities which would be generated from this? and instead you prefer our companies invest in areas with meager capital?. Your writing gives me assumption that you believe we have plenty of billion dollar cash rich companies in IT sector to invest in other sectors. I want my country to develop and i don’t want to bog down in this nonsensical ideology!.

My apologies if i’m blunt in expressing my views.

What is the plan for breakfast if the foreign companies say bye bye.!

What is the future of the country if the BPO’s vanish from India.?

Any backup plans?
What do we have locally.?

if india has to improve all the sectors in the country has to improve. Not just wipro or infosys.
if they are doing good. fine.
it remains to be seen if they r
real visionaries or just some business people who are having a good time.

infosys was no exception.

buying up agri land and building huge 25000 capacity buildings is not a healthy trend. be it infosys or any other company.

i wil say this to even HLL not just infosys.

FDI inflow stats will make our forex reserves, our GDP et al look better. but those things are partial indicators. Not the complete picture in my opinion.

growth cannot be unidimensional.

even if its gona take longer its better to ask, beg, demand our industry biggies than take a
begging bowl to unscrupulous MNCs.

its not MNCs fault.

Our politicans are too corrupt.

” did you know that in Bangalore Infy/Wipro are eating up farmers land for building their offices. these guys buy the land @ dirt cheap price… why shld agricultural land be used for buildings? “

Do you know since our independence agriculture land has been used for providing housing & constructing various industries and their offices? and their is procedure in our land registration act to convert agricultural land for other purposes. In various states there are ministries to promote industries in their state and they do it by allocating govt land(previously used to be either agriculture or forest land) for minimal price with other benefits to attract investment in their states. I suppose your are from TN, just look into your state government benefits & concessions offered to Volkswagen to induced them to setup their manufacturing factory in TN, same has been done by my state(AP) too. If this is generally done then why fume on IT? are there any specific demarcation to any land, which says it is only meant for IT or other sectors? Land don’t have permanent categorizations, suburbs of Chennai once used to be agriculture land!.

Do you know what kind of hardships infosys has to endure in early days to import their computers due to bureaucratic hurdles? and what government has done to improve connectivity to counter challenge from china & other countries? how much did government spend from their world bank loans to address this connectivity problem? For your info, greater connectivity would help all of us not just IT sector.
