Most of the team I work on have Indian names. In fact only 2 not of Indian origin - me and an Italian/Argentinian. And they are all good. Very very good.
Why not look at their qualifications?
A lot of the Indians I've worked with have been consummate bullsh!tters and the quality of the work has been appalling. Not all of them but a sizeable proportion and it's enough to make the non Indian CVs float to the top of the pile when I'm sifting through a whole stack of them.Comment

If you look at where people were educated you can work out whether they are likely to suit your way of working i.e. by rejecting anyone not educated in the EU."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

And as for all the cries of racism - I've worked in the middle east for a number of years & just you wait until the on-shored Indians are in middle management. Then you'll really need to watch your back. Ask any Saudi / Dubai expat about the Indian Mafia.
And what happens when there's another slump with all those Indian programmers surplus to requirements - think they're all going to go home? I get the impression they've all got their feet firmly under the table.
Sounds harsh, I know - but that's the way I feel.Comment

10 years ago that was not often the case. They are getting better and better. And they will overtake us. The west is doomed.Comment

Originally posted by zoco View PostOk, so if it's a UK born person with an Indian name it doesn't go in the bin. As for Indians that were educated in the EU - well that doesn't seem to be much middle ground. You either have Indians born and educated in the subcontinent or UK born people of Indian decent that were educated here.
