Protectionsim

"Protectionsim" is the buzz word in IT sector these days; Thanks to Barack Obama's anti-outsoucing slogans. Whether to increase visa-fee's or ban Ohio state govt projects being outsourced, or taxing high to companies who create job outside of USA. Political pandits say, it's a game of politics to retain/sustain and being staioned in power. Economist says, in a globalized world, protectionsim will harm more to a country which vouches and cost of living will go high; Organization who are getting burnt by these moves, are raising concerns from anti-outsourcing backlash.
Leaving the globalized space, let's see inwards. Within India people of certain community has large reservations in terms of caste, race, religion. Once, Mumbais Sena's raised voices of Bhaya's immigration to Island city; Won't they right in stating that. A city has a threshold limit to accept immigration. Otherwise state of affairs will turn anarchy. Nobody vouches their voice, as these folks become easy vote bank in politics. But, what's happening to slums, which is coming up every nook and corner of city. And a slumdog billonaire has been shot and go to Oscar for bringing success to portrait INDIA in drains. Isn't that every state needs to build infra, power, roads, mfg, services and agri to create employment, so that people won't migrate from villages to towns, towns to cities and cities to International destinations. Protectionsim plays role everywhere and every state of immigration. As, having bunch of LIVE WORMS into society will create competition, and people will play on PRICE, and/or service levels.
So why blame one country, our country's state of affairs are no different. Bengaluru, which become a city of IT powerhouse, is still readily accepting people across the India. There were a time in 2002-2003, where the Infra was horrible, and local Kannadiga's were blaming IT for such menance at the state. Now, you could hardly hear them. Isn't no that, IT's are not mushrooming, in-fact the expoential rise is phenomenal, but the infra become better there after; so the complaints as well sub-dued. People are started accepting the change. But, if this flow continues to happen, the unplanned growth will take the toll of City. Civic bodies are not planning like NCR, getting Gurgaons, Greater Noida and so on to reduce the congestion of mainland. But, KRS of Karanataka might come with protectionsim what MNSs of Maharastra do in Mumbai. I agree Mumbai being a Island city, the growth on suburbs limited and so as the voice. But, it wouldn't correct that Protectionsim needs to play a role to drive productivity, social awareness, sense of ownership and love to motherland will enhance.
Why blame someone else for our own mess. Not readying to clear the mess, is something un-acceptable. Its easy to say than do, but larger mass make those un-selfish man fool saying they presumed to be good and showing off Gandhian principle. What a Soch we have inherited from our social life. Being a nucleus family, I am sure we will pass the same mentality to our Kids, and no different that, you are creating another USA in India. So, invariably we are creating protectionsim within our own country in various ways.
Offering best in service with low cost is the mantra of sourcing your non-core functional work to better managed firms. Be the Bhaya's of Mumbai who drive taxis/autos or the Sardars of USA who drive taxis. Be the Gujju's of Mumbai who are active in trading, or the Gujju's in USA doing trading in retail format. White colored jobs in Mumbai as well attract global companies to setup their headquarters in Nariman Point, Fort Road and other CBDs. So as people move to major capitals of USAs to work along with orgs.
Expatriates are welcome in India; Business expatriates like the place, good service, state-of-art facility with significantly cheaper cost, which they won't get anywhere. But, then it's limited to certain areas, and hence they are not marrying to India for long. But, Bollywood flicks are different, come on student visa, or tourist visa and then work to make money. Wasn't that attracting expatriates in bollywood. Bollywood as well 1000 Cr business and more; and all the best Production units are here, EROS, 20th Centrury Fox, Won't it show that it's a trade of bilateral. Where IT considered backbone of every business, but the core is something like people experience while using those soft aspects. Then why hue & cry of such protectionsim. If it's a plank or gimmick for by-elections; then it's fine. Otherwise, such motives will negatively impact and in-fact it started showing my depreciating dollar. Hope, someone is listening. Not to my post, but in generals of worlds great economists and advisors of white house.
