BPO’s: Crucifying Lifestyle, Discipline & Talents..!

They certainly came up with huge employment opportunities in India, India’s International market good-will raised just like the prices of shares at the time of Harshad Mehta’s scam, reduced gender disparity and above all, they have brought solid financial aid to our economy.

BPO’s are sprung all across the country and have brought various businesses to India. BPO Industry has certainly created a vital place for itself in the mainstream business dealings. The advent of BPO’s in Asian countries especially in India can be marked because of the easy pocket human resource which certainly brings in huge profit margins and the availability of the market.


But I think we have failed to understand the menace which has also increased to a great extent, whole lot of points strike when it comes to the pitfalls of the BPO Industry.

It is very upsetting for us that today’s youth unofficially in the age group of 18-26 are hired by the BPO’s, this is the age group, which is the backbone of any country, getting engaged in BPO’s who only value the communication skills (they are not bothered whether you are just a 10+2 pass out or some Postgraduate) and not the talent.  I think the problem is not only with the nature of the job but with the youth also, they have restricted themselves to the leisure of pick and drop facility, 24 by 7 lively environment, great incentives, exotic food courts and a couple of other options to nibble upon. I do not understand of what they produce, nothing….actually.  They just help a stupid foreigner who doesn’t even know what a Window is, what is an Icon and why did they shop a product; and simply waste their most valuable time over the phone, dealing with rude and rich guys.

I remember one such episode when one of my acquaintances was sharing how he got into the habit of smoking and I was quite astonished by the fact that, he started it when he was working with a leading BPO some time back and started feeling complex and wanted to match the standards of his colleagues who use to smoke and show off that he was not of their standards (that was probably a facade created by them).

It’s ruining them...making them unsocial, unimaginative and unconscious.

I truly believe that the country's prosperity can not be regulated while keeping all the threats like health hazards, IT crimes, accidents, undisciplined lifestyle of youth leading to mental and physical exhaustion, high risk behaviour of employees for money and many other social issues associated with BPO’s at bay.

I accept the fact that the role of BPO industry in India’s economic growth has been fantastic especially during the last few years but we also can not ignore and run away from the fact that we are actually down sizing the talent-pipeline of the country. The question remains pertinent not only for the policy makers and high authority intellectuals but also for the society.

We are slowly and gradually losing the entrepreneurial spirit and this is the right time to drive it again…! :) 

It’s just the end of a big name….Not Terrorism!

In an address to the nation, President Obama made it public that Osama Bin Laden has been killed in a "targeted operation" Nearly 10 years after the traumatic 9/11 attacks the world's most sought after terrorist leader Laden has been killed in Pakistan, but all this has led to a serious question on the intelligence of government and Pakistan’s army, are they protecting terrorists like Laden. This news has certainly opened the door for peace and harmony all across the world where corruption, fanaticism, brutality has done so much of harm. I truly believe that there is nothing to celebrate because it’s just the end of a big name in terrorism and not the terrorism. How does terrorism come into existence? Who are the actual terrorists? How to eradicate terrorism? Perhaps it is the perfect time that we find answers to these questions. Therefore, it is the responsibility of all of us to sincerely ensconce combine efforts to eradicate terrorism from the world.

The world has been facing the problem of terrorism since ages.

The number of terrorist incidents occurred due to religious terrorism are quite high while the intensity of the violence caused by terrorism of non-religious nature like poverty, ignorance, homelessness and political impotence can be given similar rating. It's very difficult to imagine a single method that could solve all these problems as each one has a unique origin.

If I talk about India then it is a bit unfortunate for us because we have been facing bad blood from our neighbor countries.  Pakistan since its creation has always harboured terrorist elements against us with an intention to destabilize our country; we face threats from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka in the South, we face trouble on the North -East side with China claiming Arunachal Pradesh, these countries have established their bases in our country from where they can carry out their obscene acts, but not everything can be done from these foreign bases  so they take advantage of the unemployed youth and others who fall easy prey to their indoctrination and create local groups. They take help from some political class and the corrupt officials who provide them fodder for their entry and exit. Whether it is the Bombay bomb blasts of 1992 or the Gujarat riots in 2002, justice takes many years to deliver. The corruption in the police forces must be minimized, there are a number of pending criminal cases against many politicians and officers; they cast their vote on important National issues which is quite alarming!  Terrorism prospers and thrives in such conditions. In a way, poverty is an incubator of terrorism and a root cause of corruption; it's not a question of who provoke but who get provoked. The poor and deprived are the targets for the rich and powerful. As long as a section of the population remains poor they can be brainwashed and made to work for a few pennies, the government needs to be tough in implementing reforms to maintain rapid economic growth and uplift the status of its downtrodden people.

It is the justice, equality, forgiveness, compassion, love and affection across races and geographical boundaries that will eradicate terrorism, by respecting each other's nation, religion and sentiments we can win over hearts of each other and can establish a society where happiness predominates agony. In order to cultivate a civilized society where freedom, peace and harmony prevail, it is imperative that justice prevails in society. Like darkness and light, hope and despair, injustice and peace are mutually exclusive and can never stand side by side, by tussles; nations can be conquered but not peace, terrorists could be killed but not terrorism.
Stop Participating & Being a Part of Terrorism..! J
