President Obama - Impact on India

There is lot talk going in India regarding the New president for USA. Here let me put my stance on this November 4 Americans verdict. I was really in favour of Mr.Obama as a president as he represents a sense of change which definitely needed to the world super power after the government of Bush. However it is completely another topic where the Americans first try to dominate (with Bush government elected twice by the people which indicates people liked him twice to be in government whatever he has done.) and later rectify their image after accomplishment of their goal by electing Mr.Obama(Peoples mandate). I can say this peoples mandate because lot voters in US are educated and they know what they are doing compared to the biggest democracy India where you find lot of illogical and illtererate votes which I don't say as peoples mandate but just as Gimmick.

Ok coming back to the impact of Obama on India. Which is nothing surprise in it as lot of economy in India depends on USA. And Indian corporate, urban and IT economy lot depends on US economy and strategies. And the following statement "I will start giving them (tax breaks) to companies that create good jobs right here in America" is really a cause of concern to the companies and their owners whose companies based only in India.


Some statistics of outsourcing:
  1. Outline of international outsourcing
  2. Why india for outsourcing ?
  3. Some financial numbers from various agencies in regard to outsourcing.
However it is not a concern to the companies who has base in both countries (USA & India). As they loose at one place and gain in another place only that they have to make careful transition. Moving the work from one place to another so that they does not loose the work.

Now coming to the concern which is most important topic for me. It is really a problem for the companies which are only based in India. I would like to view this as an opportunity for all the young people of India. Because after loosing outsourcing work we will left out with 2 kinds of people:

  1. Who lost their jobs while working now and also not satisfied with their reduced salaries.
  2. Who are aspiring to entire into the field after completing their studies and are unable to get jobs due to lack of oppurtunites and reducing oppurtunities.
Concerning to the first set of people they can really use their knowledge of job in working towards creating new similar work in India and also improving the knowledge of infrastructure. Which is the major concern for the development of India. I see this as good strategy for the first set of people. It is really difficult initially but they should grow with their knowledge and age for the development of India. They now already know the world standards and so should be concentrating on setting them in India. They should also remember that in IT field that new talent is much more productive than the old talent and so they will face tough challenge from the new talent. And so the old talent should extend their base with their experience by thinking for bigger goals. They should try to compete with world and march towards Developed India.

Coming to the second set of people they will see no vacancy boards more and more. Because of bad policies of Indian politicians who did not concentrate on the infrastructure development and just kept on increasing the seats only in the field of IT and computer science and not other sectors particularly Mechanical and Civil Engineering. So without worrying they should use their knowledge of computer science into developing their skills in new field, where they can apply their IT knowledge in infrastructure growth.

India is really lucky that still the complete economy is not dependent on the IT field and we have lot of other fields. Young people should get their interests back who have been pushed by their parents into the field of computer science rather than appreciating their interests.

New things gets constructed pretty fast in the field of IT but in the physical infrastructure it requires absorbing time, so young minds should have patience of getting the fruits of their work as success. But the success is bound to come. We are no where less to any other country (I say this because in every country you find corruption, crimes, dishonest and all the negative things as much as in India) in the world and poltician's policies should not be excuse for this development. In this process we should not wait for the help of the governement but just assume the help of governement to be bonus and also try to enter politics to improve the bonus.

We have to remember US, after lot of development went into lot dependency on Petrol from gulf countries and gradually going into losses. We have to really learn from this kind of development where we have to improve reneweble energies and reduce the dependency on Gulf countries. And this is one of the area Obama want to concentrate and so we should really try to compete in this sector with world standards of other sources of energies.

Public transport should get lot of priorities and young people should realize the importance of public transport because once we make this as habit in our young life it will be really easy in future. And we can have healthy developement where we will not be completely depend on Petrol from gulf countires. Increasing Cycle riding which is good for health as well.


People who are already thinking in terms easy life of speding their money on petrol should work hard. This looks a bit hard but it is really not that hard. This I can explain if people already have experience of sports. When you first start playing it is little bit rust and difficult for the body but once you start playing it is really easy and infact you enjoy the play and you really don't know that you are enjoying as well as improving your health and getting rid of expenditure to doctor and medicines and making healthy India.

So as a complete theme we got to work little bit hard. Which is what been said by obama and which is liked by American people and he is been given mandate. So now lets try to compete in this thinking with Americans with sporting spirit. Where they have an able president and good environment compared to India. But we have to be ready for this challenge and take this as sporting spirit. And compete with them.

I really don't accept if my Indian cricket team is loosing. And it makes my responsibility that I should also not loose in this sport and I cannot afford to be relaxed as I expect the players of Indian cricket team to work hard for the win. So if we want our cricket team to win even we have to be efficient other wise we don't have any right to expect them to win every game.

So now concluding on Mr.Obama to be president and his impact on India, is good impact to improve our own things and best oppurtunity in our lives to work for the development of India.


I am ready for this challenge ...... How about you ?
