India plans to take US move to ban outsourcing of jobs to World Trade Organization – India should learn to create domestic jobs and not beg for US jobs forever

It is unfortunate that India is again crying to get for US jobs exported to India and displace for workers in US from stable jobs.

The Government of India, especially Mr. Kamal Nath and his oligarch friends of Indian Business community should stop crying for help. They have made a lot of money exploiting US and US workers. How would India feel if another country sucks out all high paying jobs from India and round able educated and talented people in India suffer because of loss of jobs in massive scales?

It is a shame that India is planning to go to the World Trade Organization to complain against US. “They should learn to stop begging for jobs and exploit us,” said an Indian expatriate American Indian in NY.

According to media sources, alarmed by a US move to ban outsourcing of jobs, India has sought provisions in the WTO that will check countries from stopping companies from offshoring jobs.

"We are very concerned (with the US proposal) because all these noises just keep coming," India's Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath told reporters on the sidelines of a US-India Business Council conference here on Wednesday.

He said New Delhi would like to put the issue of ban on outsourcing jobs "once and for all behind us."

Reacting to concerns in the US on offshoring American jobs to low-cost destinations like India, Nath said: "Concerns about outsourcing are based more on emotions than economics."

His remarks on the outsourcing industry, which employs about 900,000 people in India, came in the wake of several American states proposing to bring legislation to ban outsourcing.

Besides Washington's silence about outsourcing in its offer before the WTO service negotiations to allow enhanced access to foreign companies in the US market, especially in sectors like telecommunication and IT, has also caused concern in New Delhi.
