What exactly caused Indians to be so obsessed with programming?

>You might get a couple million who fight to the tooth to get recruited by outsourcing companies
That's literally twice the size of the population of IT professionals in 90% of European countries though.

In the US of A it is.

In countries where few people even graduate high school it usually is.

Right and most get rejected, outsourcing companies have the luxury of being able to do that to find the top performers.

Computers programming is done in Indian numbers.

Basically, you don't need much to start working on programming. A crap computer, dsl internet, and tiny/small knowledge of programming. Then you're good to go working internationally.

I imagine some kind of anti Jesus went down there and travelled village to village telling everybody about the promised land of javascript just to fuck with the rest of us

>In countries where few people even graduate high school it usually is.
You are obviously unaware of the fake Indian IT universities that hand out fake degrees like it was AIDS in Africa.

>we are actually getting the elite of poos
wew

>Be an Indian
>Loved to solve maths challenges using programming
>Everybody around me started competitive coding to get job
>most of them have memorized solution to challenges to nearly all geeksforgeeks website
>Most of em will earn about 1,400,000 Rs. per annum.
>All of em produce garbage quality code
>Ima kms soon. Don't wanna live near these fags

No you don't get the elite of poos. They have already been taken by orgs like Goldman Sacs and Morgan Stanley

yep because they've never had good products, they can't tell the difference

This but it's amazing how we're all still poor desu. Life could go something like this, even assuming minimum wage:

Married couple gross income: ~28K

Housing monthly expenses:
30 year 250K house mortgage with 50K downpayment: ~1K
Bills + property tax: ~0.5K

They practically pay no income taxes and even get a couple grand at the end of the year in tax returns for being poor. Now just add in a couple of renters to the house and you basically only spend 0.5K in housing expenses and have almost $2,000 for food, savings, car expenses, ect with probably free medicaid. What do the poor do instead? They have 3 different credit card bills with $100 minimums EACH, $500 luxury car loans EACH, $40 luxury phone leases EACH, ect ect.

Anyway as someone who grew up with poor parents it wasn't their income that made us poor it was their ineptitude with dealing with money. Poor people I guess in the end are stupid as shit which is why they stay poor until they die.

because economy is shit in India so countries like USA hire them

relatively lucrative work that you can do remotely

Simply put its a combination of early math skills and the fact that it has such a vast pool of English speakers. If so many natives didnt speak english in india their economy would be vastly different.

hunger

minimum wage in france is not 12.08$, it's 7.52€ (8.66$) after wage taxes (healthcare, retirement, etc..).

the minimum monthly salary for 35 hours/week (legal working time here) is a mere 1053€ (1214$).
but you got healthcare, free tuition for your kids, and a retirement plan.

Plus the herd mentality.

India Government deployed in 1990s a economical boost in STEM schools and funding. Compare USA that loves cut education funding and put creationism in schools
