> It's okay to prefer working with people (particularly managers) who speak your language natively. Labeling or shaming this preference is wrong, and counterproductive.
This is a fair take. As you say, when this is labelled as 'nepotism' (as was done below), I take issue with it. It happens everywhere worldwide: Chinese prefer Chinese, Indians prefer Indians, etc etc.
As for Indian diversity and caste-based discrimination, I think that's an entirely different matter.
For the record, a majority of the Indians indirectly or directly mentioned in the article are South Indian Brahmin (Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Raja Koduri, Indra Nooyi, Vasant Narasimhan, Sowmyanarayanan Sampath, Jayathi Murthy; heck, even Kamala Harris' mother is Brahmin).
