Apart from costs, what are the advantages to offshore jobs in India?

Labour costs in India are lower than f.a. in the U.S. The work ethic among their rising middle cl and their eagerness to study is very high. India used to be an English colony and their educational system is still based on the English system. English is still an official language within the government and used as a "lingua franca". many Indians therefore speak English. From a business point of view moving businesses offshore is a way of controlling the rise of labourcosts in the US and elsewhere in the West. When the Indians get too expensive corporations will move elsewhere.
