Educate or Immigrate

When Nanadan Nilekani said "Outsource or Immigrate" the title suited well for the corporate world in US, UK & European Market. But i think the basis of his thoughts (not refuting his thoughts) is primarily IT Industry and not how the overall economy can grow in the developed countries. Outsourcing will surely help corporates get more value for money, access to talent pool and make them more and more competitive and hence outsourcing is a good option, against the public opinion and Obama's harping.

But is that a long term solution for these economies to continue their poweress. No because the more they outsource the more they become dependant and the more these shoutings will prevail without any logical solution to the problem. Immigration could be a good option as that will help these countries get educated talented resources to burden the responsibility of growing the economies. But again there's a major problem with that and that is the more you immigrate the more hostile your own public becomes and you end up creating unwanted scenes.

So the only solution and as correctly pointed by Obama also is to Educate. Let the young generation in US & UK & Europe wake up to the challenge and face the fact that there's an Indian Population and not just Indian but Asian Population who is well educated and is no more coming from the world of snake charmers! And if they still want to live in disbelief of their supremacy then its just a matter of few years when they will regret the lost time! So from my end - "Educate or Immigrate"!
