This problem arises becoz people praise people like Narayana murthy when he always keeps talking about leadership,every time in the papers I hear he talking about leadership,now to what extent has this leadership of Narayana murthy been helpful in incubating new startup companies is a huge question mark.MIT Boston has incubated about 4000 odd new firms,how much have our IIT's and IIM's helped in building startups.same way how can we expect from people like Murthy whose talks are hollow to have better employee benefits when it comes to Paternal and Maternity leave. The policies of majority of Indian IT companies are flawed and they make people work like slaves for a few rupees and we boast of all these milching that goes without any questioning or without any regulations or regulators in place.

There is a law in India for manadatory 3 months maternity leave. No company worth its salt can do this stupidity. I am sure Rediff needs better researchers.
Read this for better understanding
Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 says that Google it to read the details. I hope Rediff is better informed next time. I am not sure why this message was removed for abuse alert
Most of the people in india wants luxurious life at the cost of neglecting family life.Ladies can definitely opt for better profession than IT, where they can concentrate on children,husband and inlaws. Unfortunately because of BPO,IT industry most of the young couple wants to have food at 5star hotel and inculcate lavish life after neglecting good family life. these young couple repent for wasting their good life.

you are giving a wrong picture, most of ladies work not for enjoying lavish life, but because it is a neccesity.
