Desis are a hard working lot. It's clearly evident in the sweat of the labourer or the aggressiveness of the multinational corporation leader.
We strive to achieve a better life for ourself / our family / our country and make many sacrifices in the process.
But at the end of the day it's quality not quantity that counts.
I live abroad and I see footballs and cricket balls 'made in pakistan', wallets and shoes 'made in india' often. A sign of quality ? Perhaps.
But I am also surrounded by the Apple, Google, and Sony-s of the world. Symbols of quality? Undeniably yes. No desi names there.
A pardigm shift is needed for this to change, and yes it's beginning to happen, but to those who say we're conquering the world, please - we have a long way to go.
