You can justify what you said, but what you think is not a reality.
Let me be more clearer. First I am not an employee of Infy. Second, I am from IT sector.
Infy is service providing company. Their infra structure is based on Client fundamentals, hence their business will run by clients. And if you do some job of others for money, it can not be said "Coolie". If it is then, give me any example which is HAVING talent and not doing a coolie work. What an IS, IPS officer does. Can you say what they are doing is for MONEY. No you cannt. They have some attitude for their jobs. Likewise, their are people who have attitude to WORK for client(s). Their are people who want to be telephone operator, their are, who want to be service provider. Same is here, they take work, completes it and makes money, what is COOLIE NESS in this.
And as for as your R&Ds concerns, there are people who can make OSes in India but probabily you will be first person denying to use it. Basic thing is Marketing. Infy/Wipro/IIT people can invent it but can they make money from them. No.
Do you know there are people in NCST/CST who made navigation in Indian languages, but none of we are using it. How they will make money? IT and BPO companies are business oriented. They will do business not R&D. Check out IITs, DRDOs they are doing R&D, but how many of us knows it.
You should appriciate that Indian are so talented that they are able to understand THE LOGIC and IMPLEMENTATION invented/developed by others in short time. They are talented becuase they are able to convert some non sense in meaningful. They are talented becuase they are able to find some others mistake and also rectifies it. Please check out meaning of TALENT.
Do you know that an Indian guy developed an OS which was much more faster than LINUX and Windows. It was taking only 33% to load; of what Windows takes. But you know Bill gates not that guy. Why?
We have talents, some are in GOVENTMENT sectors, some are in private sector. What you will say those guys who are CEO of MNC companies. What they are doing? As per your defination, I can say they are also COOLIE doing others works for MONEY and not able to create a company which can servive for Indian market.
I am able to develope an OS, but I will not do that becuase to live life I need money. To get money I have to work as per client/job requirements.
For your information, infy, wipro these companies are business oriented client focused. And unfortunately these clients are not indian. Very few are indian. Thats why you are saying COOLIE. If they were indian companies/govenrment they statement can differ, probabily.
In US for a very less population there are so many companies and in India for huge population there are few companies. Hence, load to these comapnies are more as companies are less and population is more but still they are serviing and that's why they are talented.
Try to understand business policies of companies, then make such nerdy statement.
Everybody is doing what they worth for. Nobody is coolie. That is what I understand and hopes you too will understand.
