All this because they skipped early checks or relied on their dev team who are perfect to build anything but not good at user journey.

Then they eventually get into hiring someone (usually higher rates) who has it all

By now, I hope it is clear to all of India's educated elite that we must build up our capabilities here. The mindset "we can buy whatever we lack" or its much deeper axiomatic version "money can buy everything" won't work in this new era. For one, money cannot buy national security nor sovereignty nor resilience. We cannot stand up to bullies if we don't build ourselves up.

More broadly, educated Indians must reexamine our fundamental belief systems. As one example, why are we paying so much for a degree from abroad (and here I am not referring to the low cost medical education in Vietnam - we must examine why medical education is so costly in India!)

Second, should we still value English as the _medium of instruction_? We should learn English _as a language_ but does it make sense to make it the medium for teaching mathematics or history or technology or medicine? English as the medium of instruction is a status symbol from our colonial past. Should that be our future as well?

Why I repeatedly come back to this question is because language has separated us into two classes and that division has only grown worse. English as a status symbol is a bigger barrier today than caste. I know how deeply it is holding back our rural youth.

The solution "government schools offer English medium to everyone" does not work and has never worked. Instead I propose that all our children - rich and poor - must be educated in our own languages as it happens in countries big and small and as it happens in all of the nations of EU.

Yes that means that every kid in Bengaluru must study in Kannada (not just learn Kannada!) and in Chennai must study in Tamil. Countries like the Netherlands with a quarter of the population of Tamil Nadu make it mandatory to learn in Dutch only after a year of enrolling in school there. Children do learn quickly.

So before you react emotionally to my suggestion "how dare you suggest my English fluent children study in Tamil or Kannada medium" ask yourself if that has served our nation well. Are we bringing up our children to have no pride or attachment towards India, particularly the vast majority of our people who do not speak English? Are we not alienating our own children from our roots?

Please don't bring up "IT jobs". We build sophisticated tools like compilers and the team mostly speaks Tamil. We never made it a requirement to be fluent in English and our engineers learn enough English to read English documentation, just as engineers in Japan and China and Korea and Germany all do.

And we do have a lot of non-Tamil speaking engineers too and since they choose to live in Tamil Nadu they learn enough Tamil to work with colleagues. This is what Indians learn to do when we migrate to, say, Germany. It is not the big deal we often make it out to be.

So we must stop making excuses. It starts with our mental attitudes towards our nation and our fellow citizens.
