For everyone like you, there are equally arrogant Indians who claim that majority of Americans in the IT field are DUMB.

Anyhow IMO it is the oracle folks who have to worry the most, because India has a huge pool of oracle savvy developers. Larry Ellison realized it years ago. he opened up a centre in bangalore in early 1990s when outsourcing was at a nascent stage. Today Oracle India is a significant cog in their wheel.
