Bush Administration Fosters more Job Transfers to India
India, US talk business
By Siddharth Srivastava
July 22/05 - ATimes - Among the significant initiatives that were unveiled at the meeting between Singh and US President George W Bush has been the launch of a
high-level bilateral CEO forum. The forum is intended to provide effective
private sector participation in the economic dialogues between India and the US. The CEO forum
brings together 10 top businessmen each from India and the US to promote Indo-US economic cooperation in the coming
years. Not conceived as a pressure group on the two governments, the forum has been designed to provide a practical and hands-on body influencing economic policymaking in both countries.
"Extending beyond trade, which is rapidly growing, the intensifying and increasingly complex economic links being forged between our two countries are having a profound impact on our joint and respective economic outlook in the 21st century," said the State Department announcing the forum. "Both our governments have agreed that we should create a high-level private sector forum to exchange business community views on key economic priorities. Input from the business community is an integral component of a successful bilateral economic dialogue."
The Indian CEOs in the forum are Ratan Tata (Tata group), Mukhesh Ambani (Reliance), Nandan Nilekani (Infosys), Yogesh Deveshwar (ITC), Dr Pratap Reddy (Apollo Hospitals), Baba N Kalyani (Bharat Forge), Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw (Biocon India), Deepak Parekh (HDFC), Ashok Ganguly (ICICI) and Analjit Singh (Max India).
Those in the American team are Charles Prince (Citigroup), Warren Stanley (Cargill), Steven Reinemund (Pepsi), David Cote (Honeywell), Paul Hanrahan (AES Corporation), William Harrison Jr (JP MorganChase), Harold McGraw III (McGraw-Hill Companies), Thomas J O'Neill (Parsons Brinckerhoff), Christopher Rodrigues (Visa International) and Anne M Mulcahy (Xerox).
The US is India's biggest trading partner and its largest investor. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) totaled over US$4 billion in 2004, more than double the figure in 1998. Trade in merchandise stood at $21.7 billion last year.
Experts: Outsourcing Helps World Economy
BOMBAY, India (AP) -- Outsourcing information technology-related jobs to developing countries such as India will boost competitiveness and slash costs, international software experts and government ministers said Tuesday.
"We are not going to put up barriers to protect U.K. firms from tough competition from India," British Energy Minister Stephen Timms told some 900 delegates from India, Taiwan, Mauritius, the United States, Canada and Britain participating in a global high-tech conference.
"It's a great business opportunity for U.S. businesses because it makes IT available for a wide swathe of U.S. companies," said Dan Griswold, director of the Center for Trade Policy Studies at the Washington-based Cato Institute.

Solutions not taken:
Please note: There are many ways that the transmigration of jobs could be prevented or slowed by the Administration. There are many tax laws that could be used to reward companies that stay in the U.S.
Companies that want to fire several Million American workers could be penalized or prevented from working or deriving revenues from the United States. The U.S. is the richest market in the world, and these kinds of laws are used by MOST countries around the world to protect their job base. If American jobs can be transfered out of the country, then the only jobs that would stay in place are those that can compete with Chinese slave labor.
Politicians are always eager to "study" these issues. They will study this issue, form a comission, issue recomendation, hire advisors, and even say that they agree with you.
Politicians will do just about anything...except actively work for you to prevent your jobs from going overseas. Politicians should work for you. Instead it seems that most of them work for multi-national corporations whose allegiance - wherever it is - is certainly NOT to you.

Concern over lost U.S. jobs and corporate "outsourcing" is prompting lawmakers on Capitol Hill and in state legislatures to propose laws to discourage companies from sending work overseas. But a group of about 200 well-financed trade groups - the Coalition for Economic Growth and American Jobs - has formed a new coalition to try to keep these bills from ever becoming law.

But in a painful twist, some employers are asking the workers they're laying off to train their foreign replacements - having them dig their own unemployment graves.
Almost one in five information technology workers has lost a job or knows someone who lost a job after training a foreign worker, according to a new survey by the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers.

Russia's Putin seeks hi-tech partnership with old Cold War ally India
Dec 5/04 - BANGALORE, India (AFP) - Russia's president sought to put Moscow's economic ties with India on a new high-tech footing in a weekend speech after backing its bid for a veto-wielding seat on an enlarged UN Security Council.
Vladimir Putin (news - web sites) told business leaders in a speech late Saturday in Bangalore, dubbed India's Silicon Valley, that Russia wanted an economic relationship with its old Cold War ally that would put greater stress on high-tech rather than traditional commodities and raw materials.
"There are new possibilities and opportunities both for India and Russia ... But it requires a new partnership," said Putin.
He stressed the need for both nations to set "broader objectives" in spheres such as information technology, telecoms, electronics and drugs.
"We cannot be satisfied with the present volume of trade" running at around two billion dollars so far this year, he said.
Putin was to Sunday meet heads of Indian IT giants such as Infosys and Wipro before ending his three-day visit that marked the first time he had held talks with leaders of India's new Marxist-backed Congress government.
The two nations stage annual summits. But Moscow has been hoping the visit will breathe new life into an old friendship by expanding business, energy and traditional military ties after India became increasingly close to the United States under the previous Hindu nationalist government.
THERE IS NOT ONE CHRISTIAN NATION ON EARTH WHERE
HINDUS ARE PERSECUTED.
Yet in most nations where the majority of the population are HINDUS, there is
often widespread persecution of Christians.
"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

Christian Conversions - According to the Bible - Can NEVER
be forced.
Any Conversion to Christianity which would be "Forced" would NOT be recognized by God. It is in
His True and KIND nature, that those who come to Him and choose to believe in Him, must come to Him OF
THEIR OWN FREE WILL.
Don't Let anyone tell you that Christians support Forced Conversions.
That is False. True Christianity is NEVER forced.
