Political Marriage

Looking back into the 21st century, mankind at the turn of the century would narrate the unfolding classic tale between Mr. America and Miss. India.

Mr. America has jobs. Miss India has workers.

Mr. America to be economically competitive, Miss India to be socially stable.
A social proposition, which is economically viable, should stand good prospects for political marriage.

Mr. America was never impressed with Miss India…only because they rarely met and had little interaction, which was few and far between. All encompassing power of “TIME”, the turn of a century had to intervene to break this elusive barrier between Mr. America and Miss India. The Y2K bug poised an open challenge for Mr. America, and the same presented an opportunity for Miss India to showcase her hidden talent.

Mr. America was in a state of a critical need; a time bomb was ticking…man vs. machine. A software error in the clocking of machine could collapse the mankind. The fear was clear present and danger. Man was compelled to win a marathon race against the machine’s deadline. The tug of war commenced…the need of complex jobs and the skill of technical workers. Mr. America needed talented manpower resources to win the war against the deadly timeline of machines. Man won the war against machine. But it was Miss India who won the heart of Mr. America.

With the turn of century turned the table of relationship. Mr. American had to change its perception and was impressed with the talent of Miss India. Soon started the saga of love affair between the tall handsome American and the short beautiful Indian…Miss India was vibrant and Mr. America was vitalized…the convergence led to the dotcom boom. The love blossomed. Though Mr. America’s fairy saga of dotcom had a short and sour end…but it paved a path for a beginning of a new technology saga with Miss India.

Dotcom burst got eclipsed in the whirlwind of 9/11 crises. Mr. America was once again put to the mission to regain the vitality of the bruised economy. The question this time was “COST”.Miss India had the skill to offer services at a fraction of cost to that of Mr. America… coincidentally the need of Mr. America to economies cost were timely addressed by the skill of Miss India. For instance software programmers get the same work done at $5000 in India as against $50,000 in US. The love saw no bound…breaking the boundary. Importing workers like healthcare nurses where patients cannot be exported to exporting ITES jobs like banking queries where the customers’ call can be transmitted in the wire.

What a promising proposition for Miss India, now her family members back home can cherish the fruits of exported jobs. The credentials of imported NRIs with Mr. America have put the engagement rings…now marriage is just a matter of time.

With “time” the “technology” has build the platform for performing a “cost” effective marriage of Mr. America’s capital with Miss India’s labour… which has a political timing, building a social technology that has an economy of cost.

Marriage of Mr. America’s need and Miss India’s skill is inevitable…the question of whether to “Import Workers or Export Jobs” its like asking whether they should have a boy or a girl. With marriage it is expected but whether a boy or a girl…only time & the dynamics of the relationship can answer, but with all probability a combination. But they are on the verge of scripting a tale having a lovely representation of world family, striking the perfect Balance of Profession/People (BoP) of its import and export…
