The developing countries like India, China, Phillipines etc are so blinded in their race to tap economic & industrial growth that they have failed to set the right direction. India & China are being labelled as outsourcing hub of the world. All the manufacturing, labor & resource intensive activities are outsourced to these countries. And we pride ourselves with this trend. We need to realise that we are depleting our natural resources, polluting our climate to cater to the services of the developed country. Developed countries, who outsource, have everything going for them in this equation. They get a huge cost benefit without spending their natural resources and polluting their climate.. and they get final produce.. What do India/China get? Some bit of employment (mostly underpaid), so called economic boom and a feel of weighty position in international trade scenario.. We need to be wise enough to understand that at this rate, we are going to be robbed-off our natural resources and climate. It won't take much for the so called out-sourcers to take back their contracts/investments.. If we are working so hard and earning money for the good future of our coming generations, then lets think again.. I would definitely not want my children to inherit the earth where they have to fight for basic necessities like water, food, pure air and healthy sunlight. They may have their parent's fortune but that will do little to improve their quality of life.. They will curse their forefath

Outsourcing is happening mostly in IT and services industry... where there is no question of climate or using more resouces...

Very well said. But remember, India is far behind China is this respect. In China, they have 3 time more land and natural resources, and they have done their best o control population. What has India done in this regard? Nothing. So, Finally, it will be us who will be worst hit. Govt must take steps to control population.

China is also playing foul game by locking the value of its money, so that they can dump their cheap and under quality products in our country. Resulting in closing down of our industries. Who will bear this burn most ?.. Our peoples are becoming jobless now..Why nobody is bothered about these ??.. If Left peoples are so bothered about workers, then why they are keeping quite ??

i appreciate your point... however, just think where would India be without the current trend of outsourcing being attracted... India has always been under developed with unemployment, poverty, poor infrastructure, poor power supply, falana falana... If we think like LEFT (who first calculate the profit of an Industry before even the foundation stone is laid) and claim wages, perks and benefits, it would not be too far that the current trend also would come to an end..in that case, what alternate do we have to grow. until we grow and stand on our own, whatever comes to us cannot be simply disregarded.
