I have 3 South Asians in my team and completely agree with you about class work or talent. It's taken the best part of 5 years to curate the best from offshore to eventually offering onshore jobs.
We now all complain about the same issues; lack of care, pride of work or worksmanship.
They now manage offshore and treat them with alot more humanity. Sometimes will resort to 'ill speech' because they say 'it's how things work there as a boss otherwise they climb ontop of your head' which always makes me laugh when they say it.
