well in numerous forums I have been talking about this pseudo-hypocrite NRN and now he has shown his real self, some points which you Software typists need to understand before you make NRN as god. One thing you need to realize that he is making money with Infosys, there is no philanthropy involved.
1. The man who talks big things didn't allow his wife to work stating it's either her or him who is working 2. The man said that he couldn't join IIT becuase of fees issues and his time the fees was absymally low in IIT. (Undergraduate) 3. Then he increased fees in IIM's satting that students should pay more if they earn more. Point to realize a peson who according to him was deprived of education because of fes issue does this. (the point here is not on what the fees should be). This is when IIM.s A,B, C are in huge surplus.
4. He was a thorough communist before he turned into a capitalist. Tha man of ideology, indeed.
5. A single rupee donated by Infosys comes as NRn donates money or this that so full publicity stunt, the money is shareholders money and a llot of it goes to sudha murthy foundation may I ask why. More publicity isn't it.
7. the working conditions in Infosys, the long hours what perentage of the people leave at 5 in the evening. Please let me know 6. Now the Anthem issue, nothing needs to be said here.
Now all the pseudo intellects of the country should we make him president now.
My 2 cents on the issue. comments are more than welcome, but think before you write.

Mr Kapoor, You seem to be determined to defame Mr Murthy. You need some education on the facts. I advise you to think 100 times before you try to write something about a diginified personality like Murthy. Let me answer your points: 1. Do some home work before you write. He never said, his wife should not work. All he said was only one of them should work at Infosys. He is a man of great integrity. It is understandable that he didn't want either of them favouring each other in the company. 2. Yes. it was a fact. His father could not affort do pay Rs.75. He was a school teacher in 60s. 3. He was against reducing IIM fees to 30000, because it does anyway help poor. Alternatively, (you can still find the news report in google), he recommended having scholarships for poor students to cover the fees. Again, do your home work. IIMs were spending 4 lakhs per student, but charging 1.5 lakhs (at the time this issue came up)on each student. 2.5lakhs per student was paid for by taxpayer ! Isn't it ridiculous. You expect a taxpayer like me to pay for your IIM education, so that you take up $150,000 job in the US or join some multinational company in India ? Grow up man ! 4. He was a communist. He learnt the hard way how communism can impact people (train incident). Very few people learn as they grow. Give him the credit for it. 5. This is a false allegation. You can be sued for it. Sudha murthy looks after Infosys foundation, not sudha murthy foundation for your information. Whatever infosys donates, it goes thru Infosys foundation. 7. I am not sure if you are in IT industry. IT engineers are paid unreasonably high salaries.When you are paid high, you are expected to contribute. This is true in any high paying job. Nobody asks you to stay beyond 5. People stay for their own future benefits - some people do, because they cant meet the expectations, but still want high pay. This is true with any s/w company. 6. This is like Vajapayee speaking in Hindi in UN, though he can speak in English. I am not saying it is right. But dont be fanatic about language. Language is for communication. In Murthy's case, obviously he knew that his guests wont understand, if he plays national anthem in an indian language. It is just another way of looking it. He just wanted to treat his guests with respect.
I guess, people are trying to gain cheap publicity by criticising an eminent personality, while ignoring his tremendous contributions to the growth of India. IT industry is driving India's growth today. Understand it and learn to credit people for what they are worth.

Whether he makes money, what he does with it, philanthropy or otherwise, what he lets his wife do, his political history is entirely his business and his discretion. You people always seem to know what others should and should not do with their money and time.

Totally agree to you post...
Also I would like to add one point to those who say he created thousands of jobs. Those thousands would have been working in Wipro, TCS, Sathyam or any other software companies that benefit from outsourcing.

I dont agree with 1st point!! he didnt say his wife SHOULD NOT WORK. He said either she or he should work.. THe reason is quite simple to understand man.. if u want a good/balanced family and you kid to learn and spend time with them (MInd you only parents can be best teacher and they have much more emotional bond with kid then any one else in the world) then one should stay home. I agree to rest of the points u said
