Ramesh, at the bank I used to work with we once had a complete overhaul of our IT system, hardware and software. This was about starting around 1990 or so. We chose a subsidiary of Citibank as our software provider (the system was COSMOS). I can tell all this because they have kicked it all out again last year, again <g>. My point is another one.

Over the time of the project which was mor than one year, we constantly had software guys from India with us that maintained and changed the programs to our requirements. We went out a lot for lunches, etc. It was then that I also thought that India is pretty much a modern country and has a middle class, etc. At least in the big metro areas. So Worswick recent post left me a bit confused as to how true my impression from back then was.

I sure wish India to emerge from a state of fairy tale romanticism and become a state of strong local economic forces and social liberalisation. So any comments from you or links to this regard would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to get a better picture of India still, even after Mohan puts up all those valuable links and posts <g> :-)
