Hello, First of all, I'd like to say that your article is an eye-opener for all those professionals who are not aware of the importance of soft skills.In India, like you have already stated, soft skills being not a part of the regular curriculum creates a lot of problem for the people in general in executing their ideas into concrete actions.Here, people are highly talented but they lack in certain basic "people skills" to maneuver action.This results in a low confidence level in them and they turn out to be dumb squibs while communicating with other people. You have tried to analyze the problem with the right kind of approach by hinting the root cause of it.Being a soft skills trainer myself,I strictly uphold the need for training up people in this field and do away with such lacunae.India has a vast resource of man-power.We can tap the potential of this human resource with the aid of proper training and grooming facilities and maximise the utilisation of their services in various sectors and fields .People will no longer misuse professionalism and will develop core competency in any field they have gained expertise.
