Thanks for shedding some more light on this. My own feeling is that there is more than enough "networking" and favouritism/discrimination in business relations in the US and Canada, and it could only be worse in a place with a history of strict caste divisions like India. I worked on a short term contract on a project in the US and found that the way people were hired and treated was very much in a hierarchy through no specific design, but simply as a reflection of the attitudes of those in management. 1) Local people 2) Americans from the same region of the country 3) Americans from other regions 4) Canadians 5) Foreigners who sounded and acted like Americans 6) Bottom of the barrel -- those with strong accents and visibly un-American. One of these guys was an unbelievable genius, but management would never take him seriously, to their great detriment.
