I blame the CEOs and the "investor" infrastructure, not the people.

But, you have also made statements about India's "hostility to foreigners"
in the past.

Well, he has had an anti-US streak in his thinking, but I don't think its
KP doing the posting. The BPO guy has been on a.c.c for some time before
KP started posting a lot, and the BPO guy has, on a few occassions, had
conversations with people and his sentence structure, lower spelling
errors, better grasp of history, non use of abbreviations are all
different. The BPO guy also posts, besides all the good news about India
(and nothing else in the world), a piece on bad news in the USA. BPO's
english is so good that either he is a fluently assimilated Indian or a US
guy who is just disaffected with the USA for some reason and he lives for
the "profit" that comes out of BPO activities. I'd venture to guess that
he has a business that already uses BPO to India (not anywhere else) or is
a 3rd party or part of that infrastructure (especially since BPO has been
going on for some time to many other countries). And, he may be using
these NG posts as a way to drum up business, some of which may flow his
way. BPOking, IIRC, hardly discusses politics so he's really in the
business for money and does not have, otherwise, an allegiance to anything
other than money. He may have a jaundiced view of US business (which is
probably the most ruthless and selfish in the world), but without
recognizing that agressive and ambitious business activity in the rest of
the world is rarely less ruthless and selfish, but maybe not as well
versed in screwing underlings as our CEOs are.

Kamal may feel more exploited and cheated (rather than benefitting) by his
employment experience. What is missing from all of his posts is ANY kind
of acknowledgement that he benefitted, at least a little bit, by these
experiences. As far as his Anti-US feelings, there is a _lot_ of that in
the world (the Islams, South America, Indonesia, some Europeans, etc) and
_we_ have to deal with that.

Kamal, as far as I'm concerned, has a right to hate anyone he wants to
hate, but I would advise him to try to see that lots of other countries
and leaders have dirt on their names and histories, too. I would also
advise him to recognize, or try to recognize that a lot of good things
came out of the USA. Besides his view of "slavery" comeing out of the USA,
more money (US$) has come out of the USA and flowed into the economies of
practically every other country on the planet and I'll bet that all kinds
of statistics can be pulled out to show increases in the average standards
of living in most if not all of these countries. The defect in this
view may, however, be in the possibility that the gap between the wealthy
and the poor in a lot of these countries may be interpretable/judgeable as
worse progress (the poor get poorer) than if nothing happened. Its not so
easy to judge.
