How Indian IT Workers Discriminate Against Non-Indian IT Workers brightworkresearch.com/how-indian-it-workers-discriminate-against-non-indian-workers By Shaun SnappJanuary 31, 2019 Last Updated on May 8, 2021 by Shaun Snapp Executive Summary Internationally, Indians have demonstrated a pattern of discriminating against non-Indian workers. With the growing concentration of Indians in IT, this is a problem for domestic IT workers worldwide. The more Indians get to know what a domestic IT worker does, the more they can determine if there is someone they know who can replace that domestic worker with an Indian friend or acquaintance. Video Introduction Skip reading the introduction and watch the following introductory video. Text Introduction (Skip If You Watched the Video) Indian discrimination against non-Indians and other out-group Indians is pervasive in the IT sector in locations where Indians have emigrated. This type of discrimination is considered normal in India. This discrimination is invisible and uncovered by the major IT media entities that receive advertising money from major corporations that are part of the H1-B lobby whose goal is to push down the wages of domestic workers. For this reason, the article you are about to read will appear dramatically different than any article published by any significant IT media entity.

Indian variant: Which countries have the highest cases?

Global Media Slams Modi Govt For Prioritizing $1.8B New Parliament Building Over Covid-19 Battered People By EurAsian Times Desk May 7, 2021 The global media has highlighted what they called India’s ill-equipped healthcare system and Modi government’s “inept” handling of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has ravaged the South Asian nation. They ran commentaries and reports with hard-hitting headlines and sensational images of pyres burning and people crying on the street. As of May 7, India has 3.65 million active cases and 234,083 deaths, according to the Ministry of Health. US media outlet CNN slammed India’s federal government for considering the renovation of Delhi’s Central Vista as an “essential service” when the national capital is reporting about 20,000 new cases per day. The UK’s Daily Mail went a bit further and called the project ‘The monstrous monument to Narendra Modi’s ego’. The ambitious Central Vista Redevelopment Project envisages the construction of a new Parliament building, a common central secretariat, the Prime Minister’s residence and the Vice President’s enclave. ...... https://eurasiantimes.com/global-media-slams-modi-govt-as-second-wave-of-covid-19-pandemic-batters-india/

Around 4000 Indian pilots being probed for fake licences Revelation lands India in awkward position around globe New Delhi, April 12 (KMS): Over 4000 pilots in India including those associated with national flag carrier Air India are being investigated for having fake pilot licences. The revelation has landed India in an awkward position around the globe, as the country under Narendra Modi government is already facing scandals like the one exposed by EU Disinfo Lab. India’s airline watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has admitted that many pilots associated with Air India, Indigo and MDLR airlines have been arrested on the charge of having fake licences, so far. All this came to after an investigation into the rough landing by woman pilot, Parmandar Kaur Galati, at Goa airport. Later, investigations found that she was issued fake licence despite failing test for seven times. Indigo airline pilot, Kaur Gulti was arrested on charges of forging his mark sheet to obtain a pilot’s license. Another arrest was made on the same grounds. This time, Captain JK Verma, the pilot of India’s national airline Air India, was arrested. “We have arrested Verma,” a senior police official said. The investigation is ongoing. We have been given more names by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The matter was then reported to the Aviation Watchdog, DGCA. The airline Watchdog acknowledged that 4,000 pilot licenses were being investigated in India. Naseem Zaidi, India’s secretary of aviation, said the DGCA was investigating the licenses of 3,000 to 4,000 pilots with reference to fake pilots. In order to obtain a pilot’s license in India, a pilot has to pass three subjects, but in the case of Pilot Galati, the DGCA’s investigation shows that she cannot clear two papers, so she allegedly made a fake license. https://kmsnews.org/news/2021/04/12/around-4000-indian-pilots-being-probed-for-fake-licences/

By Shruti Tomar, Hindustan Times, Bhopal UPDATED ON MAR 05, 2021 10:46 AM IST Madhya chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday ordered an inquiry into an alleged irregularity in the recruitment examination of farmers’ welfare and agriculture department. The top ten candidates, who appeared in the exam conducted for appointing agriculture officers by the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) (popularly known as Vyapam) on February 10 and 11, committed the same mistakes and scored similar marks in different sections of the question paper, apart from several other suspicions raising coincidences, as seen in the answer sheet provided by MPPEB. Other candidates, who appeared in the exam, raised an alarm after they found that all these ten candidates belonged to the Chambal division, had the same caste, graduated from the same college and had similar academic records. According to an official, the chief minister asked the chairman of MPPEB and principal secretary of the agriculture department to probe the matter and submit a report in this regard. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/shivraj-singh-chouhan-orders-inquiry-in-agriculture-department-recruitment-exam-101614919441415.html #cecefied #songboh

Officials find fake answer sheets in TET inspection drive timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/officials-find-fake-answer-sheets-in-tet-inspection-drive/articleshow/81281307.cms Swati Shinde Gole | TNN | Mar 2, 2021, 04:54 IST Pune: The Maharashtra State Council of Examinations has found bogus answer sheets of the teacher eligibility test (TET) during an inspection drive. In the bogus answer sheets, the officers found that the marks were manipulated and the remarks were changed from ‘ineligible’ to ‘eligible’. The council has instructed the education directorates to take strict action against the erring teachers. The teachers created the bogus answer sheets to save their jobs, the council’s representatives said. Earlier, the council had found bogus eligibility certificates submitted by the teachers from the state government schools. The open category candidates appearing for the test have to score at least 60% in the 150 marks test to pass the TET exam. For the reserved category, the passing percentage has been reduced to 55%. Candidates who clear the exam will get the TET certificate which is valid for seven years. The council’s commissioner Tukaram Supe said the officers were shocked to see the manipulations done in the answer sheets by the candidates to clear the exam. “We have seen fake certificates produced by the teachers, and now, even fake answer sheets are being brought to the fore during the recent inspection,” he said. “As many as 402 certificates have been scrutinised in the past three years with the help of education directors. So far, we found five such cases of certificate manipulation and four cases of answer sheet manipulations,” said Supe. Bending The System Of the five cases found, four were from Mumbai division and one was from Nashik division Bogus certificates and answer sheets were being illegally produced and given to teachers The inspection drive was conducted by the council after several complaints were made by the teachers of such malpractices Primary, secondary and higher secondary education directorates were told to conduct the inspection among teachers #songboh #cecafied https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/officials-find-fake-answer-sheets-in-tet-inspection-drive/articleshow/81281307.cms

How Indians Coordinate to Fake Their IT Certifications and Credentials https://www.brightworkresearch.com/how-indians-coordinate-to-falsify-it-certifications/ By Shaun SnappJanuary 21, 2020 Executive Summary Indians have developed strategies for faking IT certifications. They frequently approach certificates as merely something to be shared with other Indians. Introduction Manufacturing certifications and degrees and cheating on exams, and buying university degrees is a common issue in India. This is a big part of how Indians claim to have more skills than the domestic IT workers in the countries to which Indians immigrate, like the US and Europe. Furthermore, once in these countries, they very commonly share certifications. This means that one person may take certification tests for multiple other people. This article will cover how a culture of cheating to obtain educational qualifications is considered entirely normal among Indians Indians and IP India is on the blacklist of 11 countries for stealing IP, as is explained in the following quotation. In its “Special 301” annual report for 2018, the Office of the US Trade Representative Office (USTR) identifies “trading partners that do not adequately or effectively protect and enforce intellectual property (IP) rights or otherwise deny market access to US innovators and creators that rely on protection of their IP rights.” The “black list” includes 11 countries: Algeria, Argentina, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and Venezuela, the Efe news reported. – NDTV

The long view on Ceca and other free trade agreements https://www.straitstimes.com/politics/the-long-view-on-ceca-and-other-free-trade-agreementshttps://www.straitstimes.com/politics/the-long-view-on-ceca-and-other-free-trade-agreements Published Jul 19, 2020, 5:00 am SGT https://www.straitstimes.com/sites/default/files/articles/2020/07/19/st_20200719_rvfta_5825916.jpg The fear of losing jobs to foreigners is valid, but it needs to be addressed with facts, balanced reasoning and empathy Leading up to this month's general election, one issue that won traction was that of the large presence here of foreign workers, particularly the PMETs (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) - who are thought to compete with locals for jobs. Last week's retrenchments at Resorts World Sentosa - and reports that Marina Bay Sands will likely follow suit - have added grist to that mill. An easy target of suspicion are the two dozen or so free trade agreements (FTAs) that Singapore has signed, particularly ones where services trade have been explicitly written into the deals, such as with India and Australia. As with millions around the world caught in this pandemic-accentuated economic crunch, Singaporeans are asking: What will become of me? Are the deals we agreed on to widen market access hurting my job prospects? It is a valid fear and one that needs to be addressed with facts, balanced reasoning and, above all, empathy. But to get there, you need to know why Singapore pursued FTAs in the first place and why they remain perhaps even more relevant today, when the multilateral trading system supported by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is semi-paralysed and stressed by the insurgent behaviour of the United States. In December 1996, when Singapore hosted the inaugural Ministerial Conference of the WTO, the air was one of optimism about the future of free trade and globalisation. World merchandise trade had grown 10 per cent per annum from a mere US$50 billion in 1947 to US$5.6 trillion in 1995. As barriers to the free flow of trade and investments continued to fall, the expectation was that countries could capitalise more fully on their comparative strengths and look beyond national and regional frontiers. Opening the trade summit, then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong spoke of standing at the threshold of a golden age of global economic growth. Three years later, when trade ministers convened in Seattle for their third summit, the mood had darkened. Indeed, the Seattle conference failed to make progress on the next round of trade negotiations. It was against this background of stalling trade liberalisation and a shift from goods towards services trade that Singapore and like-minded nations thought of FTAs as a useful way to keep trade expanding, while they waited for the rest of the world to catch up. That led to the Agreement between New Zealand and Singapore on a Closer Economic Partnership (ANZSCEP), Singapore's first bilateral FTA. Its merits came into view instantly; after the FTA was implemented on Jan 1, 2001, Singapore's exports to New Zealand rose 54 per cent on-year in January and February. Today, there are 25 bilateral and plurilateral FTAs involving Singapore and more are under negotiation.
