It’s false notion about IT people made you to write this article.I agree they ll spend money lavishly till they get married after that they ll get responsibility, and regarding work culture the stress level due to dead line for project is high so they ve to ve some enjoyment.
You mentioned about some great people ya really they are great but why did’t their descendants names(for some good cause) did’t appear after that in history….?

Thanks

Friends, I did not read the article and the responses completely. However, I feel both should be interesting and will read later. “ಸಾಫ್ಟ್ – ವೇರ್ ಕಂಪೆನಿಯವರು ಸ್ಥಳಿಯರಿಗೆ ಯಾಕೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಅವಕಾಶ ಒದಗಿಸಲಿಲ್ಲ…?” I felt this could be a topic for discussion.

Hi Pratap
Splendid..I really like the way you write and ‘am one of your fan.

One important thing I like is the way you have connected IT and marriage.Coming from the district of Uttarkannada I have seen many instances related to this.Even a girl who has just studied upto SSLc dream of getting married to a IT guy…..she may not the full form of IT though.

The situation is that,it does not matter how much land you have…the only thing that matters is IT and Bangalore for marriage.

Hope people will learn and improve…Hatts off to your article

Dear Pratap,
Stop writing junk.
Use you aptitude to write how to defeat or overcome the circumstances.
Present scenario not only on IT, it’s interlinked with each and every one in the sphere. (Counting you)
If an IT guy dropped from his work, it circuitously harms an Unloading & loading guy in the market.
Please think wise…

Many Thanks,
Srinivas Erappa

ಇತ್ತ ಐಟಿ ಎಂಬ ದುಡ್ಡು ಕೊಡುವ ‘ಜಾಬ್ ಮಾರ್ಕೆಟ್’ನಿಂದ ‘ಮ್ಯಾರೇಜ್ ಮಾರ್ಕೆಟ್’ ಕೂಡ ರಂಗೇರಿತು. ಬಿಕಾಂ, ಬಿಎಸ್ಸಿ ಓದಿದವಳೂ ತನ್ನ ಅರ್ಹತೆ ಎಷ್ಟೇ ಇದ್ದರೂ ಐಟಿ ಗಂಡನೇ ಬೇಕು ಎನ್ನಲಾರಂಭಿಸಿದ್ದಳು. ಐಟಿ ಅಲ್ಲದವರು ಮೂರು ಕಾಸಿಗೂ ಬೇಡದವರು ಎಂಬ ಭಾವನೆ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಯಾಗಿ, ಫೀಲಿಂಗ್ಸ್ ಕೂಡ ‘ಮಾರ್ಕೆಟ್ ಓರಿಯೆಂಟೆಡ್’ ಆಗಿತ್ತು.

I completely agree with your points regarding marriage market [:D]….I personally being doctorate in science and doing research in abroad, has faced lot of problem to get bride. Since people in Karnataka know only IT professionals and professionals like me are not been considered.

Hi Pratap,

I am forced by my friends to read your column. Its great that you have mentioned, how IT and BT affected to our culture.
My Point is- Only IT or BT people is not responsible for what’s happening in our envn. Everyone is contributing themselves either directly or indirectly for everything.
You have just bombarded about the IT guy. Do you know how much effort he/she has put to become an engineer. Why all cant become Engineer or Doctors. Few cant even pass 10 or 12. Bcz they( who dint pass) enjoy and waste thier time at that point of period, which engineers or doctors or any high profile people wont do. Finally after their education they are deserves to get high pay.

Tmr if your son or daughter reads well, will you make them a high profile graduate or not? If they get more salary, does it mean that they are going to spoil culture.
Not yet all… All fingures are not equal. Your words wont imply to all IT likes including me.

You told that, in few places including coorg HOMESTAY kind of thing is started. Do u want the people of this place to be still where they where before 10yrs. In City, technology improves, more jobs, more salary. etc etc.. Day to day daily needs getting costly, what these people should do for their source of income. Only agriculture is not source of income. If no rain, what the farmer will do? Will you politician will help this poor farmer for his needs. He needs to look for the alternative for the safe to avoid the count of farmers death.
Which one you want, count of farmers death or farmers homestay kind of stuff which provides him food and shelter during bad time.

Kindly accept that few things are going wrong by IT guys, but again Everythign is not from IT guys.

Dear Pratap,
Do good research before writing down something because readers wait for your article every satuarday. I am from Malanadu. I am not techi. but know their struggle. They have sleepless nights, work load, tension. Any indian or outside company are not so stupid to pay high. They extract whatever they could from techies, so no need for techies to be faithful to those companies. Today what our politicians starting from munciple cousilor to PM making money is the direct contribution of hard work of these these techies. I found 90% of young generation is blaming IT guys which is hiden agenda of jealousy. Some readers have pointed out that “If they are not like other techies then why should they feel bad and raise vioce against Pratap” You guys always support when Pratap writes against Aravind Adiga , Millioner Slum dog etc.If slum is sporadic in India then why do you raise vioce against such books , films ? If you are not in slum don’t raise vioce against such things.
Dear pratap, you are vioce of Hindus. Don,t shift your thoughts.
Waiting for good articles in future
