I agree Mr. Annu Malik, that we have not given anything significant to this world from the past 200 yrs, in which U.S has given so much. While agreeing cent percent that what u r saying is true, you should also agree that this present Indian status is bcos of our 'slave mentality' that we practiced over the yrs. Only fascination abt everything American is not going to bring abt changes in our country. From ages we were looted by external aggressors bcos we were not united. So poverty and population have become the biggest hurdles in our growth. And even though things are changing, we still have a long way to go. 5000 yrs ago we gave the world zero, astronomy and so many ancient marvels. But we did not propagate this knowledge amongst ourselves. So this crab mentality proved to be our downfall. So today we are neither basking in Indian glory nor Western. And our govts have not invested much nor encouraged scientists, so we have not produced many good ones. And remembers all those IIT'S which came out from our stables, they only complained abt India, did nothing here, and packed off to U.S. They forgot that IIT was bcos of Indian's tax payer's money. When talented people just turn their back to the nation, it can hardly produce good results. So we have to be satisfied with Sameer Bhatia's, or Narayan Murthy's

Whatever Annu Malik wrote is nothing but a brutal truth. As they say, "reality bites", therefore we see so many people getting agitated with his posts.

Those Indians who claim that we have become IT superpower let me remind them:
1) There is MICROSOFT WINDOWS. We don't have any such thing as Wipro Windows or Infosys Windows or TCS Windows, have we?
2) There is ORACLE. We don't have any such animal called Wipro Oracle or Infosys Oracle or TCS Oracle, do we?
3) There is SAP ERP, do we have Wipro ERP or Infosys ERP or TCS ERP?
4) There is Adobe Acrobat, do we have Wipro Acrobat or Infosys Acrobat or TCS Acrobat ?
5) There is Microsoft Word/Excel/etc what about Wipro Word/Excel/etc or Infosys Word/Excel/etc or TCS Word/Excel/etc?
6) We buy Russian/Israeli/South African/American weapons. India a "SUPERPOWER"? My foot... My a**.
Wake up to the reality... recognize where we are lacking... only then can we one day really become a superpower. If we bury our head in sand like an ostrich and refuse to see, accept and acknowledge the reality we shall never do what should be done, we would be wallowing in false glory, false pride. As long as we do not confront the reality head-on, we will never do the right thing. You will make ammends only when you first accept that there is something wrong, as long as you continue to be fooled that everything is great and correct you will not make the ammends and so you will continue to be wrong.
Ask any european or american or japanese or german or kenyan or zambian ... about "finnacle" !!! they won't know about it ... whereas ask any of them about MS Windows / MS Excel

hey you are right about most things but dont be stupid enough to curse infosys or wipro..we are moving forward because of these companies..you dont need to have a "infosys windows" to progress or give something to the world..ok we havent achieved anything great in the recent times but we have to ecxel in what we do and if infosys or wipro becomes the best service company in the world( now its just one of the best) then damn it will be great.

And further if you think writing "modules" in C and Java as innovative work !!! Then MAY GOD SAVE MY COUNTRY !!!!
No wonder India's worldwide share of global IT industry is a paltry 2% and this is when every second tom dick and harry is an IT professional !

wat malik is telling is right...criticism is important for progress..He is giving statistics which if right tells the entire indian story...btw we are still a developing nation and also btw china has better infrastructure and is moving ahead of india..we are just happy and contented to just sit around thinking we invented everything and more developed than US or china but infact havent been doing much..i havent done anything significant in my life to critize like this but only criticism will take us forward not some stupid self appraisal like the morons here are doing

Not quite sure about what you are saying. There are some good SME companies in Inida which comes out with amazing products. One such is TAROBY. You can see them at taroby.org.
