Only there's so much glaring inequality in the country that wealth is concentrated in the hands of about 50 million people or so. My point was that offshoring is inevitable. If it's not India, it will be Brazil or Poland or Africa. The best folks hired in these countries have zero interest in relocating to the West when they can live like royalty in their own home countries. They will gladly take 25% of the Western worker's paycheck and do an on par or better job. For the more mundane tasks, companies can hire Indian BPOs for cheap, who will then work their Indian employees to the bone for peanuts. At the end of the day, both results give a profitable outcome to the outsourcing company. The issues arise only when the company decides to outsource actual knowledge work to Indian sweatshops.
