I have noticed inferiority complex in indian people.USA is the greatest country in the world that's why we indians succeede just like everybody else who come here.Indians have got good college education so they are rising in hi tech fields.In usa there is just not money , everything like justice , law/order , equal oppurtunities are there that's why it is easier to start business there.
Are you an Indian, you shouldn.t generalize thingss like this... you are a professor and you should guide people not discourage them. That was really upseting. indians over in US are known long for their hardworking and trusting nature....its not my opinion..come here and see or ask anyone ....chineese people and indian are the most sucessful in US...you shoulnot have generalised opinion about anyone sir....people are individuals and they have different natures .. may be you might have had bad expereience with indians......I am student here in US and I know why professor are taking indians ........Thanks ganesh

Manjula, Good, now get back to your GRE preparation. Idiots flaunting their half baked vocabulary. Grow up moron!
let me be frank,when you are outsider you are out to prove that you are better then the locals.i see this all the time.goans are said to be lazy,but only when they are in goa-india,when they leave the state ,they are the best workers.you can notice this in the remittance that is made. nalin
Indians are basically corrupt,compromising and lacking ethics except for a small percentage of population.Greedy,selfish and self cnetred they can corrupt anyone under the sun.It is bad for USA society if many Indians rise there in business or government. It also is greatness of US society thgat supports enterprise and encourages investment and innovation and hardwork (in a few cases ofcourze this happened).But US citizens must be alert as these immigrants wil slowly poison American society and make them corrupt klike they did in many middle east and african countries.

Dear Mr. Gupta, I am surprised by your mean comments. I am a student here in US, I meet ppl like you and my disappointment only grows. You may be former IITians, who came to USA in 1970s and became successful. Now, when you see so many ppl coming to USA and also so easily. You feel competition. You know that now it has become very difficult for you kids to be sucessful. And thats the reason for all negativity. Wake up, sucess and opportunity can not be monopoly of someone. If your confused kids work hard, they also can be sucessful.

I agree with your views. Even after working abroad so many years, NRI still follow the pathetic caste system and regionalism in the name of so called culture as in India. They refuse to integrate with main stream and live in isolation.

Oh yeah? So you think all Germans are good, all Americans are polite? all Britains are best? All Japanese are honest? My dear friend, have a broad vision & think broad, good, bad, greed, honest, dishonest, beggars are all over the world. It all depends upon how much they all contribute to the society.
PS - Both India & Pakistan were thrown out from Super 8, what happened to both the coaches? How are both countries reacting to this?

If that is the case, I think you should leave US first. I live in US and there are so many things we can learn from their society. But talking so bad about India makes me wonder how come a narrow minded, pig headed person like you became a professor. Or ARE YOU REALLY? Anybody can preach ethics after his/her stomach. Britain invaded every possiblie country and stole everything from there. So is Japan. And US, everybody knows that they came here, occupied and killed all native American Indians, brought black slaves, made them slog to build everything. Now they talk as if they are the champions of ethics. Having said that it is not that there is nothing we can learn from them. But taking a skewed view is not good at all. If India also did the same brutal things that all these countries did, probably India would have been teaching the same things to other countries. So PROFESSOR, take some history lessons. By the way whether you agree or not, all companies need Indian talent you moron. They have no choice.

I agree with Prof. Gupta to a certain extent. Indians have a general tendency to be self-centered and corrupt. I have seen some of them may be including me, who want maximum returns for minimum effort. Though, it is an awesome Idea, it may not be good for other people around us.

I have seen so many American colleagues who don't work as hard as Indians. So we can't really generalize as we see same people in every ethnicity. May be you are one of those drain brains from India who don't know anything but got lucky to get a decent job and thinks all Indians are like that.
We indians are more double faced than others. Political class and Babus have broken the fabric of society and will to work. Indian, good at studies, get white coller jobs. Those who dont study work as labour. But High Scool pass and intermediate,BA fail dont want to be labour and cant get a good job. THEY become netas and rule the country. Thus uneducated MLA and MPs run the country. How would a middle class indian survive in this scenario? Best choice for them is US. For others in India, rele models/icon are, people like Laloo, Devegowda, Mulayam, Mayawati who are there, inspite of all their doings. Look at Telgi's smile after pronouncement of 10yrs jail, what confidence a common man can have in the system. But all is not over as we are free to atleast write what we want. India is a great country in the eyes of the beholder.

rightly said. I agree with you fully over everything you have said except last sentence. On the last sentence I have some more things to add. People who say India is a great country are the ones again having double face. They cant get out of India for whatever reasons or if they have got out they are not able to survive there and hence they say India is great and want to return.

It is surprising to note that those who make offensive, offhand comments against successful and hardworking people like Indra Nooyi themselves are not as successful and are involved in relatively poorly paying jobs in call centres or IT companies in India. I feel these people are simply jealous of the success of other people. That these successful people have worked extremely hard to get there and the fact that they all come from hardworking middle class families who cannot boast of great wealth and prestige, doesnt seem to have any effect on those who make comments.
Perhaps, by making such comments, they are simply venting out the frustration they have accumulated on account of the failures in their own lives. They cant stand the fact that an Indian, like you and me, can be as successful as any other businessman in the world. They probably relate their own position with that of these successful people and develop a sense of insecurity. That insecurity leads to lack of self respect and this lack of self respect translates into offensive and prejudiced comments against other successful people. Maybe these people should start looking at and examining their own capabilites and successes before making judgements on the capabilities and successes of other people. It reflects poorly on their intellect and personal integrity.

Rightly Said!!. Even in this article he mentioned that he worked in restaurents and washed dishes to earn and save for his higher studies. I know lots and lots of college students both of indian origin as well as from this country work in fast food restaurents (a.k.a burger flipping). All these guys come from decent middle class background. They don't see that as low when they are here. That not only give them some money but also teaches life skills to survive and subseqently succeed in USA.
Grow up guys!! If you want to be an enterpreuner work for a hard nosed one and learn the skills with right attitude. Don't make offensive remarks on others successes. If you really look at it, you are where you are and the successful person is way way above you.

My 2 cents 100% you are spot-on. Reading some foolish comments questioning Indra Nooyi or any successful people. I also thought what you people wrote Success stories are not created they are born. Pass on success news to all other fellow Indians, not throwing some useless comments and making thousands of people like us blasting these comments.
RE:The comments are sad and unfortunate

rightly said I am going through all the comments and those offensive comments are purely ebbing off their frustration and jelousy and nothing else....they can't realize the world around them and can't accept the factors of success of others
