The premise in Ross' argument is that 'US/UK/EU models' are devoid of any such issues, such as variances in literacy in or across specific regions or countries; unfamiliarity with a common language across various regions or even common knowledge of English language; etc.

Also, one observation needs to be corrected about the Indian economy as is made in most business and technology publications of US/UK/EU - see GE's chief recent interview in Business Week (North American edition) for example. Despite aberrations in the national infrastructure, the technological skills and intellectual capital are considered the prowess of Indian scientific and technical manpower - considered by many to be among the elite among equals including the industrially advanced nations of the world.

Another issue is the simple law of numbers - as observed in the the Business Week interview: " India is a great place. They graduate 30,000 electrical engineers every year. From the standpoint of human capital and from the standpoint of education and smart people, they are fabulous"
