Celebrate Diwali with Chinese idols- The Times of India

India is becoming more and more like USA - everything you see in the market is "Made in China". All the holiday ornaments, lights, etc. in USA have been manufactured in China for the last decade or more - now India is hurtling down the same path.

What this does to the poor Indian workers and artisans is the real question though. While this outsourcing is generating better paying jobs for the chinese peasants, what kind of jobs are we creating for the workers, peasants, craftsmen whose already low paying jobs are being taken away by this global outsourcing.

It is alright for the Indian economic and political think-tank to sing songs about the globalization and the benefits of outsourcing that India itself is enjoying, but without a serious strategy of job creation and trickle-down expansion in India, this globalization will not result in making India a contry with living standards comparable to our neighbors in the South East Asia, let alone the developed Western countries.
