But before you take off on the theme that India is definitely going to be the world's next IT superpower, think again. There is an article written by Jay Dubashi on Indiaworld's website, titled "India has to be built by Indians alone - Those going abroad can't do it for us."

He says, "Indians who go out to America will be working for American companies, not the other way round. Others work for superpowers, superpowers don't work for others. What we are witnessing is just another version of the old indentured labour that went out of India in the 19th century to work for plantations owned by Britishers."
