India has a vast workforce that can be utilized to accomplish these projects. Chinese workers in a sense are in direct competition with Indian workers for these jobs. Chinese workers may be more efficient but they are also more expensive. It just seems to me that the extra money spent on the Chinese workers would be better used to train Indian workers to perform more efficiently thus strengthening the Indian workforce. I do believe that the native people and immigrants can complement each other however fortifying your own workforce can be more beneficial in the long term. In the US we experience many of the benefits of immigration especially from Mexico. While some believe that immigrants are taking away American jobs, I don’t really believe that Mexican labors are in direct competition with the majority of the American population thus we are stronger together. However in India, Chinese labors would be taking jobs that can be preformed by Indians. As a result many Indians who could benefit from these projects remain unemployed. The projects embarked on by China in an effort to modernize gave many Chinese citizens opportunities for employment and pulled many people out of poverty. It just seems like India should be relaying the benefits to its citizens similar to how the Chinese did to theirs. This is just my opinion on a very complex subject but I do think that it is an important consideration.
