Few Indians, you mean. (Though a majority of them would end up in that 'few' category)

Um, what?

  • I was merely remarking upon the fact that your comment classified all Indians in one category, that of folks who mug up jargon, acronyms and definitions but are not really knowledgeable about the actual usage. However, let me assure you, not all Indians are like that. There are Indians with reasonable thoughts and rational curiosity. In all your interactions you might not have seen such kind, that's certainly unfortunate.

    • While my sample size is small < 50. I have seen both types of Indians and yet, I would be willing to suggest that Most Indians who end up as programming H1b's have similar issues. My guess is it's jarring for people because the people who get into software in India are the mostly the type of people who would do something else in the US.

      PS: Still it's hard not to draw concussions about a country even know that your samples are biased.

    • Indeed, that's why I didn't say: "all Indians are like this". It's just surprising how many graduates from Indian universities seem to be completely uneducated in a broader sense. It makes one realise the value of (or problems arising from) common unspoken assumptions.
