Architecture to Entice India’s Top Engineers

From the New York Times

In this nation where world-class high-tech companies co-exist with urban slums and rural poverty, employers like Tata, Infosys and Wipro have set out to create avant-garde, environmentally smart corporate sanctuaries.

Whoa, who's kidding who? India's cities are one big slum where there are not enough toilets to go around for their residents, where fellow citizens are treated as human garbage by their betters, and, face it, life is cheap. Independent films coming out of India are accurate in their portrayal of urban poverty (the public bathroom scene in Slumdog Millionaire is not exaggeration) and human abuse (see Salaam Bombay.)

So, maybe basic human dignity and needs should be addressed before India's leading corporations begin sinking millions in "corporate sanctuaries."
