I don't know how reliable the source is but I found the story from a CNET newsletter. The link they used to the alleged article on ZDNET India wasn't working. Seems to be a hot topic on a lot of blog web sites when I did a Google search. Talk about how bizarre and crazy the global economy is getting. I will keep trying to get the article from the original source.

India Will Need to Recruit 120,000 Foreigners

indi_jobs writes "After all the noise about jobs moving from Europe and USA to India, ZDNet India is reporting that 'India faces a massive shortage of workers with European language skills over the next five years which could see the country needing to recruit up to 120,000 foreigners...' Looks like the jobs may be moving to India but they might require the original people to do some of the jobs!" From the article: "Evalueserve said the ramping up of non-English speaking capability by the Indian offshore firms is an attempt to capture a larger share of the continental European outsourcing market, and reduce the country's high-risk exposure of more than 80 per cent of business coming from the UK and the U.S. economies."
