We are called "knowledge workers". We are supposed to use our brain, intelligence and knowledge to do creating things. Today, There is no field in computer industry where Indian Software Professionals cannot be found.
And yet, as there are 2 sides to every coin, few Indian Software Professionals have an ugly side.
With both husband and wife working in the IT Industry - they tend to bring small girls to help them support with their house work - cooking, cleaning and tending to their small kids. However, they forget that these young girls are kids themselves - mostly orphans or from very poor families. And when these young girls/boys do not do as told, they are beat mercilessly and meted very inhuman treatment - branding them with hot iron rods, hitting them on their head with wooden sticks, pouring hot oil on them, slapping them, starving them... so on and so forth.
Today morning, I read yet another article that talked about techies violence towards domestic helps.
Why do these people behave like this? Don't they stop on second to think how they would feel if someone did the same to their kids?
Why do we forget they are also humans like us?
