Bangalore: Even after the row over his 'Bangalore to Buffalo' remark, U.S. President Barrack Obama's affinity towards the people in Bangalore is witnessed in his recent speech, in which he emphasized their strength. "A young woman with an Internet connection in Bangalore, India, can compete with anyone, anywhere," he said.
Obama said that if market is allowed to run rampant - through excessive risk-taking, a lack of regulation or corruption - Then all are endangered, whether we live on the Mississippi or the Volga. And while this crisis has shown us the risk that comes with change, that risk is overwhelmed by opportunity.
The U.S. President Barrack Obama said that it is good for U.S. and the west if countries like India and China prosper as it will open new market for them and push their business to innovate. "That's good for all of us - because when prosperity is created in India, that's a new market for our goods; when new ideas take hold in China, that pushes our businesses to innovate; when new connections are forged among people, all of us are enriched," Obama said addressing the New Economic School in Moscow. He also added that they have met at Moscow in the midst of worst global recession in generations. He believes that market will be the greatest force for creating and distributing wealth that the world has known. He further added that the greatest resource of any nation in the 21st century is its people, and the countries which tap that resource are the countries that will succeed.

2: Is it Indian's taking all their jobs? why all
jobs losses point always at bangalore or
india? why is not ireland, poland? However
his basic idea is right, and internet is
making it all possible. And the fact remains
that we are doing a fraction of what we could
to capitalize on it. With a population of a
billion, it is shame for us, that we do not
even have a million working in bpos or s/w
companies.

3:The reason is that india is the highest
service based jobtaker from the US as well as
EU.Poland or Ireland is there but at a very
very miniature level as their populations are
very less.but we with out billions and
without any encouragement for innovation or
research or doing good to our own domestic
market are embrasing export oriented IT and
ITES growth which will definitely not be
there forever.

4: Obama's is a pun liner and it is against
India, just to create a underline the
negative sentiment of Americans, that Indians
take away their jobs. China has taken away
millions of US jobs already, and is taking
more away every day, however attacks on them
are veiled.

5:yu are try true joseph1011. They cannot talk
about China since China kept them in that
manner.
Let me ask a basic question.
Why all Indians in India did pooja to get Obama Elected ?
I could see clearly we don't know what we(Indians) are doing

6: If someone say something to you, there could
be no of meaning for it, some +ve and others
could be -ve. Its up to you how you take
this. If people start taking only the
positive aspect of it than even if he has
said it for -ve meaning, you are always on an
advantage. I would like to take Obama's
speech as women of Bangalore are very much
competitive to the world, in terms of
technology and skills. And I feel proud of
our women and appreciate their contribution
to our country's growth and recognization.

10:And the funny thing is US/UK talks about
spreading democracy but ends up supporting
Pakis over Kashmir, which means they are
supporting a non democratic country to expand
its territory. In a way, their action helps
Chinese cause of expanding communism. Good
for China. Huge integrity problem.

17:It's too boring.. What I thought is that
Obama's diplomacy has failed him to
retain the American companies in his country. India and China are more stable than their. People of China and India are very angry on his
policies. He knows very well that it can not be convinced the
people(specially man) of India or China. So, he has created a sympathy on
women who are from Bangalore. Because if he can convince these women, then it
will be possible to convince the different IT companies in Bangalore. As a result, it'll be possible to overcome the recession period of America. :) It's one kind of small sym diplomacy....

18: Ha ha ha ha...well Tushar,
I am actually a hardliner when it comes to my vocalisations against the general American attitude...be it military, bureaucratic, political, or of the common man. And I also believe that the American concept of this whole "Axis of evil" thigie is nothing but a group of nations that really do not agree with teh US$ being the common global currency, even if the Purchase Parity Power value is less than a third of the USD is less than a third of its current exchange rate.
We all know there are more motivations to the Gulf War and the subsequent ouster of Saddam Hussein, than plain human rights violations, which he committed during the Iran-Iraq war, when the US supported Saddam :P
However, we must also realise and cut Obama a little slack because he is not but a politician at the end of the day. Yes he's the President of the USA but he was before that, a Politician...so we must learn and try to excuse and forgive.
We must also remember that it is the stronger party that must make more concessions in order to achieve a common ground

"A young woman with an Internet connection in Bangalore, India, can compete with anyone, anywhere,". Not more than that to this statement. So stop discussing it so much.

Bangalore women or a Shanghai women.. hes
more referring to internet and what is
possible with the new technologies. This
article is a crappy interpretation of his

23:AW...Tushar, that hurt man...Obama was just
trying to cover his backside for making a
comment that went awry because his speech
writers did not think of the sentiments of
people here in India.
Don't go assuming things and making mountains out of molehills. If I for one were to start thinking like you, then I would be suing a company whose employee wrote to me with a comment "I'm not too sure it's your beef...", trying to mean something like "I am not sure this is your cup of tea", for hurting religious sentiments :P
In a Global village scenario, local sentiments will be ignorantly stepped upon here and there...we all will need to try and learn and understand at the same time.

24: Well Kartik,
I've not assumed anything, just tried to decipher Obama's statement. And please stop worshiping him and blaming his previous statement on speech writers. Are you really so naive that you would expect his speech writers to goof-up. What he says are views held by him and his supporters. He has backed up his previous "speech writer goofup" with suitable action.
What he says in this statement is that we are not going to buy into any story of India being a developing economy and needing more support than a developed economy like USA. We see you as equal competition. The only reason we would like to be your friend is that you are a big market for our products. So please do not expect any concessions, and cut down carbon emissions,stop sending qualified people over,open up your markets and yes provide every girl with a internet connection.

32: Obama is a spiritually smart man. He knows
that the thing that destroyed American
economy is its predator/prey culture. In this
culture, the guys acts as predator and women
are their prey. Most of the American guys
spend significant time to be good in this art
ignoring their job and other values. The
heart of this problem is America's nuclear
family system. 60% + people there are
divorced and that screws up their mental
stability, leave aside work and everything
else.
So with this message, Obama is encouraging Indian females to become like American females and push for the nuclear family system, which will off course create lot of businesses in the housing sector (like apartments) as well as with that in other sectors. The problem that will come with it is tonnes of divorces, broken families and with that loss of mental stabilities of the whole family.
I would encourage Indian women to take this message and decide for themselves what type of world they want to create around them - American way, Indian way or something in between. Please know that the geography of India is not big like America. So if you live in smaller apartments, you mind will also shrink and so will be your thinking and learning capacity.
As mahamuni Chanakya said - tu naari hai, chunauti ka uttar to tera hi garv mein janam lega. tujh mein jitna saachai hoga tujhe utna hi samarth prapth hoga, uttar ke liye.

35:Mr. Patriot, What an analysis, you have
really opened up a new arena of thinking with
your ideas. If Obama's intention is what you
think, then we Indians should alert our
antennas. Obama family itself remaining
non-nuclear family as an American, wants
Indian families to go Nuclear...he knows we
have the thirst for Nuclear technology and
trying to woo us.
I hope we Indians take each US policy and ponder over it, instead of taking their polices in a bundle...which may look very interesting.

39:What? I'm a single American mother living in
India (All because I choose to be these
things). No one in America has to conform to
the nuclear family model. Men don't focus
less on their careers because they're chasing
skirts. Where did you get these ideas? Where
did you get the idea that the nuclear family
or lack thereof cause mental instability?
That's just stupid.
Obama is discussing empowerment. With the cost of a cheap computer and access to the internet, anyone can exchange ideas, build a business. He's talking about business, not marriage. He could have easily said "guy"instead of "woman", but that's not as powerful in a speech.
Stop stereotyping Americans.

40: Hi jeanneleez, Most of the posters here are
like dumbheads, anyways. Ignore them. Indians
or for that matter any one from any country
has no right to criticize the other
country.India has problems, America has its
share. there seems to be a huge misconception
amongst the Indian people that they have huge
intelligence, or superiority. I dont support
that idea, Indians will have to remember that
jobs came to India because we are "CHEAP"
intelligent workforce.
the word CHEAP has been ignored over the years. I say let the jobs be taken back, then only this country will learn the importance of creative thinking and innovation. The true development will not come from outsourcing. These IT engineers of India think that they are supreme harbingers of high end indigenous technologies, they forget that they are not in the league at all, they forget that there is a Phoenix called Indian Space Research Organization which actually is the real meaning of indigenous development and not globalization or outsourcing!!

44: World leaders respect Indians? No way.
Indian\'s don\'t know how to respect
themself. Indians give power to Italy since
they could not find one good person out of
100 Crore. Indians always find a way to show
the world how India is bad and dirty(slumdog
movie, china or any country never allow
such movie to shoot in their land) Indians
are getting beaten up every where in the
globe the govt. do not take any action.
With such situation how do you expect the
world will respect us which including me.

time...show all the goodness and the smiles
with the american counterparts....once they
take a flight back home its the same shit all
the social ethics and the smiles are
gone...
As far as the govt goes...id say NEVER DEPEND ON IT...it is like a circus monkey (the famous gandhi monkey) . Neither do we use our political nor our military skills in any way thank a great deal Sir Mahatma Gandhi.
Freaking militants take a small boat ride and can walk on our roads and blow up people WE CANT DO ANYTHING...(send all the coast guard ships to the salvage yard and use the money to clean up mumbai atleast) The Central govt has to pull out it hair to extradite ONE HARDCORE terrorist from a european country
students get thrashed and killed in the OUTBACK...manmohan JEE says PLEASE dont do it...the students there are better off who have staged a demonstration.
WE have no right to demand respect from the world till we don't care and respect each other...as the above dude said...i disrespect indians myself we are nothing but a bunch of egoistic/unethical hypocrites...
i am dearly waiting for all the criticism to follow :)....another bunch of hypocrites....like i care

46:The people of India are extreme intelligent -
bar none.
However,India is a shit hole where they need a "foreigner" to lead them down a garden path. Its civic and hygienic sense in society, the way people treat each other and the grinding poverty makes it a living hell for millions of people.

Think of the view as each plane lands over Dharavi and imagine the welcome mat for visitors who land at Mumbai Airport. The first impression is the smell of shit as you disembark from the plane.
However,India is a shit hole where they need a "foreigner" to lead them down a garden path. Its civic and hygienic sense in society, the way people treat each other and the grinding poverty makes it a living hell for millions of people.

50:First of all, You should respect and love
your country no matter what. Then why are you
angry with Mrs. Gandhi, according to indian
culture when a boy gets married to a girl she
is part of his family and you should trust on
your family. Regarding slumdog, I hated it
every time when non-Indian's asked "Is India
like that" but at the same time it is the
truth and movies should show us the truth for
example Changeling, the great debater, blood
diamond shows truth about different society.
I would have appreciated it much more if some
Indian director would have taken this
initiative.
Just get real man, Its our country and we should think about doing our part, taking some responsibility towards growth and than blame others.

53: One of my observations (in response to Samule
Jacobs) comment about civic/hygene etc is
that very often Indian families go to great
length about keeping the "inside" of their
house clean. For example, walking barefoot,
washing floors, sweeping/dusting etc.
But in the same spirit, how many of us take the "dirt from our houses" and toss it into the neighborhood streets without caring about it.
In some cultures (Portugese, for example) folks feel that they own the neighborhood just as much they own the inside of their houses. If we all tried to think in that manner, perhaps we may also collectively tried to keep our own neighborhoods cleaner etc.
I have grown up in India all my life and done all the bad stuff myself. But now I live in the West and somehow have stopped some of my own bad habits. So there is hope for idiots like me (smile)!

to be honest...but why couldnt we develop the
same back at home...moreover its HOME after
all...
people who diligently follow things back at home are either discouraged or laughed at thts unfortunately the mindset
and no matter what you HAVE to follow rules here try littering the garbage and you will be slapped with a fine each time...its also the peoples mindset here to be clean and also the management which enforces the rules

As to Obama saying that "when prosperity is created in India, that's a new market for our goods", it is empty rhetoric. The US makes precious little, if any, with its manufacturing sector pretty much decimated. The departmet stores here are full of Chinese goods fo rthe most part. True, they make wind power turbines, or Aircraft engines. Even there, they have som ecompetition, not to mention that there is a lot there that is bought, again, from China, or Korea, or ....

61:So are you saying that there is no market for
MNCs here? That's bullshit. I see Gillete,
Pepsi, Pantene, Apple, IBM, etc. in every
store. America has not only vast natural
resources, but a huge manufacturing complex,
one of the largest in the world.
India has to decide whether it wants to drive their GNP the Western way (fewer products at a high quality point and higher price) or the Chinese way (huge numbers of products of poor quality at rock bottom prices). The Chinese are known for stealing and copyright infringement, not for innovation. India needs to upgrade its ethics if it wants to take on countries like the States and Western europe as competition. The companies that can, will be very successful, drive up India's economy, and build new markets as a responsible world state.

we indians are all tradition in everything that we do...it sure is good...we have very strong roots but id say we gotta move with the time as well..i say all tht we have today is given by the british...or else we still would have been a prehistoric traditional country slowly crawling in the world as we have NO ORIGINALITY...all the technology the BPO\'s IT HIGHWAYS everything is sort of GIVEN TO US....
historical indian technology would have no place for today\'s india and its growth...we have unplanned cities roads everywhere....only the places tht were influenced by the british have some structure to it.

72: It is certainly a very positive comment from
a world leader. However, I feel that what
President Obama says is based on a common
perception about the IT sector in India and
is mainly meant to inspire Americans. There
is no doubt that an IT woman in Bangalore has
the potential and is "capable" of competing
with anyone else in the world. But the truth
is that there still exist a lot of
socio-cultural, educational and
organizational barriers in India (Bangalore
included) that do not empower an Indian woman
to compete with "any one" in India itself,
let alone the world. A lot of work in India
still needs to be done before what President
Obama says becomes realistic.

74: I think President Obama should have used the
word " Indian Women " instead of " Bangalore"
. With all due respect to him i must say that
This regional attachment in his speech
indicates that India is country of regional
interest rather than a country as whole. This
further promotes regionalism in India. Is it
that Delhi girls or Hyderabadi Girls are
lagging behind? How do we perceive such
comments from a person who is one of the most
powerful administrators in the world and
being elected to stop the dsicrimination
against cast creed and religion in the world.
we never say that Washington girl or
California girl..we use US girls or women
specially when a DIPLOMAT talks. We have
learnt to see country as whole.
