Outsourcing, India and Homer

Before I start with Outsourcing and India, I just want to mention that Microsoft has lost out in the antitrust lawsuit in the EU. Sounds good. People should have more choices. Not that it affects us Indians in any way. We always choose piracy. So we will continue to use pirated versions of whichever software we need. And we promise we will never sue Microsoft as long as they outsource all the jobs to India.
Now, that brings us to outsourcing and everyone's favourite English speaking country in the world, India. Having been closely associated with the outsourcing industry since its evolution in India, I can assure everyone that it is the only industry in India that flouts every Human Resource Law. People are made to work for 12 hours a day without being paid for the extra hours, they are underpaid and are made to work six day weeks and have to work even on national holidays. And this is the state not at just small companies but the large organizations like Dell! And on top of that you also expect good service? Stop kidding.
First let us understand outsourcing. Here is a video that explains outsourcing :-

But despite all this we march on. We never give up. Go! India! Eventualy every English speaking nation will be governed by India! Hopefuly by that time I would have escaped to Andalucia.
And as we have been on this topic its only befitting that our today's music video be an Indian song :-
