Can Obama's anti outsourcing stand spell doom to India?

Answer 1

No, this is very unlikely. First, it should be noted that Barack Obama is not anti-India. His administration regards India as an important ally. That said, he believes that many American companies have benefited from cheap labor in other countries, rather than finding ways to make their products in the United States. Every American president wants the U.S. economy to grow, and President Obama is no exception.

But while the president would prefer that American companies make their goods in America, this does not mean there will be "doom" for India. We live in a globalized society, and many countries use India for a wide variety of products and services. The United States is only one country that has outsourced jobs to India; many others have as well. So, even if American companies do decrease the amount of workers they need in India, that does not mean every job done in India will vanish, nor does it mean other countries will also remove all jobs from India. It is a very competitive world, and whichever countries offer the greatest skills and the most cost-effective way of delivering them, those countries will continue to prosper.
