in thread This isn't a job offer.

Could you (anonymously if need be) point me to any of the well qualified India programmers? I don't remember meeting any, neither here nor elsewhere on the Net. I've met quite a few that THOUGHT they were qualified and were pompously spreading utter nonsense. I've met quite a few that refused to learn or even just to listen, here and elsewhere. I've had to fix some stuff produced by Indians. So I'm a bit doubtful of the media hype about hordes of highly skilled and well qualified Indian developers.

    I think it has something to do with the languages spoken by the Indians and Chinese.

    You can hear it come out when they speak English. Just a string of syllables linked together without any stress, punctuation or intonation where a native English-speaker would place it.

    Perl is a lot like English. Java is a lot like a long string of syllables that work just fine as long as you do it exactly the same way every single time. English has many ways to say exactly the same thing. Some ways we "say" something really aren't English at all.
