Indian culture not suitable to westernes

One more day and one more reveling information..

We had a guest today, a Dutch lady who did study for three years with westerners managers having well educated Indian workers.

The study is an eye opener...
Westerners (in India for 3 years) think
Indian's do not value time, do not take initiatives. They also think Indians though can speak like westerners but the cultural divide is large (is it new ?).

On the other side;
Indians thinking about themselves
don't see any of these problem.

There is certainly a mismatch somewhere in terms of thinking, and if India wants o become global sourcing destination, she will have to change some of the practices while also demanding westerners to change...

One last thought .. are a lot of Indians not coming back because of this cultural divide or is it the standard corruption, pollution issue.. a worth to study..
