There is a difference between a few thousand and 80,0000 from a single nation. There is a difference b/w coming on a general visa working on a gas station and or hire by a tech firm and working with a company that is developing cutting-edge technolgy. China was the first country for years, with such a quota, but now they are restricting Chinese visas. Indians are new Chinese for the workforce, and it is a matter of time Indians will start catching on as the Chinese did. It May be slower than them but there will be a change.
Since 2004 when US open up to India, their GPA started skyrocketing, Now even new civilian companies are building rockets and weapons technology in India.
"
Indians are new Chinese for the workforce"
Yeah, ,but that will be the end of US's innovation edge,as the higher IQ , culturally and genetically more effective Chinese that carrying bulwark of American research and innovation will fade out,Indians are nowhere a replacement in quality- quantity factor to make up for those from China, especially those comming from the likes of Tsinghua and Peking , which are like the backbone of silicon valley R&Dwith 150k chinese in the research programme.Otherwise, India would have been an innovation powerhouse.Indian education system ,universities,culture and genetic makeup- overall produces very inferior Human capital compared to China.
This reminds me of Kishore mahbubani claim:
"There is now global data that confirms that Indians are among the most naturally competitive animals in the economic realm, if not the most competitive. In the most competitive human laboratory in the world, the US, Indians are the ethnic group with the highest median household income (roughly $100,000). If Indians in India could achieve half the median household income of Indians in the US (say, $50,000), India would have a $20 trillion economy, about the size of the US today."
Meanwhile in his own meritocratic nation Singapore ,Indians are behind Malays-
Indians suck in meritocratic nations where flattery & bigtalk doesn't work .
These " Indian diaspora in x xy z"are never an accurate factor for measurement of the success of any ethnicity,those are shitty excuse for losers when their own nations gives the unrefutable image of their real color.
Mr.Mahbubani just wanted to hype his Indians brethrens with any shoddy excuse he can conjure on the face of absolute failure & inability of India in developmental path compared to other Asian nations.
Economic migrant group will always do considerably well like in Australia,rich Irish and South African comprises the highest income group in Australia.A small group of migrants with deep pockets and desired skill sets ( like in mining in case of Australia)will always thrive where there's a demand for such skill, resource and manpower.
The simple fact that you don't know english enough ,can make a phd holder Chinese or Korean jobless and poor in Australia.
Chinese,Europeans ,Japanese owns huge swath of business all across the globe ,so it's pointless to nit pick few income stats determined by various social factors like english skills and westernization.
We see many stats like the one below ,but it doesn't really matter in grand scheme;
Malaysia
UK
Canada
Indians fk up their nation,but when few wealthy and the most educated Indians does albeit well in foreign nations in selective stream based on demand for them, they act like they have beaten the world.No wonder India is so backward.
