Arun, since we like to deal in wild genralizations on this thread, would you comment to the differences between people from Dehli, Mumbai, and some other cities or states ? Don't some emphasize business more than others ? It is not just people from big cities. Education is number one priority as majority of population come from poor rural background. But things are changing very fast. Now-a-days English medium schools are becoming common even in villages. Educational business itself is a highly cut throat one. Here lot of experts make claims not even visiting the place once. Here is yet another perspective. Business is always cut throat in India. The problem used to be government. Things have changed a lot. Now a new generation of hundreds of millions of people are entering the business side from agriculture base. Just wait and see what happens within another 20 years. One of the main reasons for some of the Mulsim youth in India turned to fanaticism is purely due to lack of economic opportunity. (India has the close 150 million muslims.) Traditionaly muslims used to own business and pass their business to their kids and were not given enough importance to education. But now agri-based and other sections of population started realising that owing a small farm or traditional caste based job is not going to raise their standard of living and wanted to enter education and business, any business, and want to compete. So there is tremendous pressure to be a educated business man. This is getting translated into competitions and more cut-throat dealings in business. For example, I personally know a lot of village folks who migrated to near by cities and all started doing business rather than continue in their traditional farming or other caste based vocation. It is going to be interesting. To compete in India and to become a successful one you got to have all sorts of skills.
