About 750 million people, or 70% of India's population, work in the agriculture sector. Would you advocate exposing the majority of your country's population to even greater poverty, if not ruin? What benefit to the remaining consumers would possibly make this a smart move? What would you have the tens to hundreds of millions of displaced farm workers do?

You have to understand that India is already having trouble keeping up with the efficiency gains it has made. The flood of people coming into the cities is overwhelming the infrastructure of its cities.

I am not sure what US taxpayers have to do with it, the primary beneficiaries of outsourcing are investors. Perhaps you are talking about the subsidies the US provides to agribusiness being wasteful, but that is another discussion.
