`` I do not know see why it cannot happen but do you thinkAmericans will starveto let indians tke there bread away .That too whenrules and LAWSaremadeBy Americans

Do you thinkAmerica gets foreign doctors to learn or find them indespensible ..No ..two pairs of hANDS ....
Yes here and there they import 200,000 code colies for tempworkWHEN THEY WANT..you have no leverage or bargaining or andictate to Americans ..at least NOT india ``

Is it possible enough Americans are not willing to study for advanced degrees in medicine, engineering and science ?

Indians who get their green cards are staying here. I am yet to see any GC holders go back to India.

`` Ps. btw 60lac -150K ....is in zia s term `pea nuts` for millionor billin dollar setlement .... ``

Indians will make more money each year being code coolies for Fortune 500 corporations than Pakistan made in its entire history being a condom for US State Department and Pentagon. At least Indian code coolies deserve the money they got.

`` 4000 medical doctors,400o Dentists AND 30 ooo engineers ANNUALLYare added I the work force.

All India level 36000 medical doctors annually qualify ... ``

How many are really qualified to do their work ? Getting a degree meants squat.

hamidm 115,

That is a fairly accurate discription of brahmins, especially the total absence of sense of humour, largely due to preoccupations with the future lives. But of course, it is not a waste of reincarnation.

Er which Zia are you talking about? and how is what ever he said relevant in this context.

I supposse that even a billon dollars is not a deciding factor.

Remember Khatre Khatre se samundar buntha hai!!

Americans need not starve only India gets better. By your silly argument it means that the rest of the world is starving? while only americans are well fed?

surprising you say that being from the north.. Now we should assume the stink coming from the north has no contribution from you :)

re: hamidm

...the big divide in india is between the north and south, not between brahmin or non-brahmin...

...the north is busy reproducing and $hitting on the streets while the south is busy building infosys and designing intel chips...

again this is a very relative thing.

...It is hard to study without a decent private school education. I dont think so. Private I think you mean expensive. Some of the best results in schools in Bangalore come from govt as well as private(extreemly cheap and basic schools like acharaya patshala).

Similarly In Delhi the govt schools (you got to see how bad they are, the students need to be confined in like a jail and still they manage to escape the school during school hours, approx 30% of the teaching posts are not filled those teachers who come rarely take classes) give out the best results. Till a decade back they were getting usually 60% of the top 20 ranks in the 10th and 12th exams (im not aware of the results now as I dont follow the trends there now.)

there are some called Palaghat Iyers. Palaghat being name of a place.

There are plenty of Tamil brahimins from(now of course spread out elsewhere)Mysore city who were working for Mysore state (ie the Maharaja of Mysore) similarly there are a few (including the Ex dewan) in Bhopal(working for the Nawab of Berar).
Im talking of course of old families. Post independence there has been a lot of migration to and fro.

`` Even today as many people have admitted here on this fourm that the southie brahmin is very prevalent in the software industry in India. so what exactly are you cribbing about. ``

A lot of folks overcame the system.

`` The dalits have borne worse and for centuries in just a few decades you have started cribbing that to of such a small favour in just one sphere of life.
Argeed reservation is not a efficient method but right now it is the only one availabe to the dalits ``

Explain to chowkies how many children of dalit farm workers is ever going to benefit from reservations in professional colleges. It is hard to study without a decent private school education. Hint the ones to benefit are the rich Dalits.
