H-1B visa power

Eminent journalist and former Union minister Arun Shourie had suggested, while serving in the then Vajpayee led-National Democratic Alliance government, India’s information technology (IT) sector should work to make the US industry champion its cause, since it was the biggest beneficiary. Going by the turn that the current controversy over H-1B visas in the US has taken, it would not be wrong to conclude that India’s software services sector has succeeded in achieving what Shourie suggested.
