I dont know about that. Why is that?

I would be willing to give the benefit of the doubt to somebody who has lived in a conservative, patriarchal, rural/small-town middle class environment in India.

If you are an Indian male in the US as described in the article, chances are you come from an urban background, went to college, and have had ample opportunity to be exposed to more liberal attitudes. In that case, this sort of expectation is downright shameful and disgusting.

I find it shocking that some Indian men have such attitudes, despite having spent time in places like the US.

<quote> Given the difficulty in finding matches for Indians abroad, some matchmakers are now charging them more. Mr. Dave of Klassic Match charges a minimum fee of $100, versus $50 for candidates living in India. He charges more for specific requirements. For instance, he says some overseas Indians want a bride who is smart, fluent in English, and "simultaneously, docile in the house." He says such women are now harder to find, so he bumps up his fees for some searches. </quote>

Microsoft, like any other big company has people with a wide range of proficiency and performance levels. You would assume that when laying off, they would pick people who have performed the least.

Really good interview! What I really liked was the clarity with which Sunil Mittal is able to express his thoughts without using buzzwords or jargon anywhere.
