Mr. Agrawal, it is recognized that Mr. Dewang is a
visionary but we should also realize that he is
surrounded by idiots who thought the man is the IT God
and could save India without anyone else doing
anything much!

India and Indians should be developing local markets!!
  Greater amount and quality of wealth is generated if
there are strong local markets for what you produce! 
Oh, and we don't need Mr. Dewang to run to foreign
countries to fetch us some bread crums or some grunt
work.  He would, instead, focus on developing IT for
domestic use and for the benefit of Indians first!
