Wall Street Journal picked up my post on “dark side of outsourcing” this morning and has carried a synopsis in their Work in Progress column online. There is an interesting array of comments. One of them says I am a coward who runs away. Well Cris, the facts are what they are. I don’t make them up. He alleges that I spoil India’s image. Not true – honest reporting is part of the discourse. Another asks me to throw away my green card and work for the $500 fortune. Well I don’t want, don’t need to. And I am frankly doing my job as a reporter who is actually going behind the hype. When I brought this issue up with some of the guys at NASSCOM, they also agrees and expressed concern.
Being true to yourself and being true to the facts is the foremost quality of a reporter. Om, do continue on your quest fearlessly.
