I find Mr. Kohli's statement mysterious. "Our own language"??? Does he mean Hindi or Punjabi or Bengali or XXX or YYY? I suppose he means Hindi but that is only the most common language; it's not the universal language in India by any means. There is a consensus in India to speak English when people do not have the same Indian language. That's one of India's big problems. China has the advantage of a single written language. Indians program in English to get universality across their country but only the most educated 5% of the population is comfortable in English. A Chinese person could become a good programmer without mastering English. Proclaiming Hindi as the national language of India never succeeded. India will continue to get the lion's share of the user specific business where the user, a foreigner, chatters in detail in English about what he wants which is very specific to his own company. But that kind of business, only partially transferrable from customer to customer, is only a niche business. His talk leads one to the conclusion that universal type software in the future will mostly be produced in China.
