It's all relative... \n\nTechnology has definitely boost India into the developing country arena and have benefited India's economy. Technology along with education will certainly keep India as a powerful economic force in the future...\n\nBut what about the millions left behind...\n\nIs the caste system still in affect and have disenfranchised a section of the society with very little recourse?\n\nUntil this is addressed by the majority of the elites in India, this will always be their thorn in the side as they join the develop and democratic countries.

I happen to be reading a New York Times bestseller called "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. One thing he talks about is India's emergence as a major source of educated workers mixed with a solid work ethic (of course, he goes into much more detail, including quotes from Indian businessmen running companies with all sorts of ties to the West). \n\nHowever, he does point out that India's infrastructure (power grid, etc) greatly needs to be improved to make a further leap.

Currently IT (information technology) looks attractive. BioInformatics will also grow in mature in near future. Similarly aviation will also be going to boom up.\n\n-vc

India is doing well growth wise.  The market correction is something that occurs. It will occur again in the future.  I do not expect the the correction is over just yet, but when it is the bulls will come back. Give it a year or two. These things normally take a little time to gather steam.

India is most certainly gaining power at major events and companies. Yet, according to statistics, India would reach The 5th position by the year 2020. Only if they keep their internal regulators at hand with due control. (Stock market and much more!) Its like a major development in less than 100 years!\n\nBut United States of America would still be the No.1 in position in the world in the year 2020.\n\nPlease do not use SMS abbreviated words in a place like this!

I believe they are being surrounded by lots of technology but they are definitely not in a bubble in the sense that, the technology we see today bring real benefits to it's users and our reliance and our children's reliance on it will only continue to grow. Technology and it's evolution is here to stay :-)

That's a good question.  Although the tech industry is booming, the rest of the economy is less than enthusiastic.  The main reason is that more than a third of the nation lives at or below the poverty level.  So until that changes and other industries begin to grow (opening up new venues for skilled labor), then not much will change.  \n\nThe IT industry can't do it on its own.

No, but that may be based on the literal translation of the word "everything"!\n\nOne way to answer that is to look back over the last 10 years and see where have we been and how far have we gone.  \n\nTechnology is moving at a faster pace than all other areas.  However, it is not really moving that fast.  \n\nRich companies and rich leaders are getting richer because they have found a secret.  The secret is to let out a little new stuff every two to three years to cause mass buying of their product.  They leave some errors "BUG" in them so that people are not completely satisfied and must buy the update when it comes out.  The process keeps repeating itself over and over.  Why put out a great product if you can sell a good product several times within the next 10 years?!  No, we will not be that much farther a head in 10 years, but over time we will have computers will have evolved to do a lot more.  \n\nWe will have something like a computer/TV/radio/telephone/home security/home monitor/ whatever all built into one thinking computer!  How long it takes is up to the Rich guy in Washington State!  He did not become the riches guy in the world by being dumb!

India has already taken giant strides in space technology. It has launched communication and remote sensing satellites which are operational. It has built excellent infrastructure in terms of launch facilities,test facilities,Research development organizations and excellent academic institutions. It has helped other countries in all such operations. Although Indian astronauts have flown with NASA it has not yet put astronauts in space on its own. Projects are at hand in this regard. India's priorities today are development of rural areas in terms of employment education and health as also agricultural growth which has go to 4% from the existing Hindu growth of 2%.The other thrust area is to boost manufacturing growth to 12% from the current9%. Hence not much attention/resources are presently allocated to space.It is only a matter of time when the dreams of founding fathers of space technology in India Pundit Nehru and Vikram Sarabhai will fully bear fruition when Indian space project to put astronauts in space on its own will become a reality.

Well, after a long time under the British rule and some wrong turns, India is now finding herself into progress and from what I have experienced India is moving forward fast and securely! Mistakes always happen, but in general, I presume India is in the right track!

From Business Week:\n\nApple has shelved plans to build a sprawling offshore technical support center in Bangalore. Just months ago, there was talk of Apple employing 3,000 workers by 2007 who would handle technical and customer-service support for Macintosh computers and other Apple gear in India and elsewhere. There was even speculation that Jobs would travel to India in the fall to publicize Apple's commitment to the country.\n\nIt wasn't meant to be, and a small, newly hired staff of about 30 at Apple's subsidiary in Bangalore was let go recently. (The company will maintain a small sales and marketing arm in the city.) Apple spokesman Steve Dowling would only say the company had "reevaluated our plans" and decided to focus support center activities in other countries.\n\nSOME QUESTIONS.  However, another source familiar with the situation said the decision was mostly cost-driven. "India isn't as inexpensive as it used to be," the source said. "The turnover is high, and the competition for good people is strong." The company feels it "can do it more efficiently elsewhere."\n\nSuch talk comes amid concerns about the sustainability of India's fast-track economy. True, India's economy grew 9.3% last quarter, and it is still home to the world's largest, fasting-growing offshore outsourcing sector, which generates about $17.3 billion in revenues and employs nearly 700,000 people, according to the McKinsey Global Institute. And Indian outfits such as Infosys (INFY) and Tata are among the best-managed companies in the emerging markets.\n\nYet India's benchmark stock Sensitive Index, or Sensex, experienced a mini-crash in late May as global investors fled from emerging market stocks (see BW Online, 5/23/06, "India's Market Turns Down the Heat").\n\nINDIAN BRAINPOWER.  And India's fabled infrastructure headaches and surprisingly robust wage growth have also raised worries about India's undisputed leadership as a business outsourcing Mecca. Entry-level wages have climbed by as much as 13% annually from 2000 to 2004, while salaries for mid-level managers have registered increases of 30% annually during the same period, to a median of $31,131, according to McKinsey and Nasscom, India's software industry association.\n\nHowever, while the Apple move certainly will generate plenty of media attention -- "Apple Software Logs Out of India," proclaimed a headline from the Times of India -- it may be a special case. Apple has certainly utilized Indian engineering brainpower in the past. Part of the electronic circuitry that powers the iPod was developed by a research outfit in Hyderabad, for instance.\n\nYet for the Bangalore operation, Jobs never had any intention of outsourcing any high-end software development and proprietary technology research away from the company's Cupertino headquarters or operations nearby, according to the source familiar with Apple's operations in India.\n\nSTRATEGIC TIE-UP.  Also, while wages for software engineers and IT project managers have soared, entry level wages for call-center employees are still an affordable $2,500 or so per year. Apple had only a staff about 30 at its Bangalore operation, but "you need economies of scale, say 500," to generate huge savings for a company, says Sunil Mehta, vice-president of Nasscom. Unlike rivals such as IBM-Lenovo, Dell (DELL), and Hewlett Packard (HPQ) that have a huge base of personal computer customers, Apple's Mac market share is far lower, undercutting the justification for a huge customer service center on the ground in India.\n\nThe Bangalore operation also seemed redundant given that on May 29 Apple announced a strategic tie-up with New Delhi-based HCL Infosystems to provide distribution and after-service care for Apple's phenomenally successful iPod line. HCL has a tremendous distribution and service footprint in the country and

India is the only country in the world that in the last 5 years have over come as one of the main manufacturing sources of all industries (all Industries!)... India have 2 important and key facts... very qualify human resources at a very low cost... They have converted their industries into a very high quality standards and this have of course make them grow very significantly... Yes they have improved....and keep on improving...

Your assumptions are incorrect. The net gain of jobs has been in the technology sector.
