India amassing people from all strata of the economy, religion, faith and workforce is a country where a gradual change in work culture can be seen. People here are bound by their family values and even in their choice of careers and its perusal, they cannot neglect the same. Geographically, the country has most of the natural features that one knows: be it plains, delta, mountains, valleys etc. The choice of work and the employment also depends on them. One can be seen doing terrace farming or sitting in an air-conditioned office doing managerial work.
The people here can be hardworking or leisurely, modern or fanatic, orthodox or somewhere in between. All these variations can be linked to the ancient family traditions and their being followed. Few follow their head and few their heart, so unlike the west where the work culture is independent of the family relations, India very much is not free.
Her people do consider their family when accepting the proposals although the genX is emulating the west gradually.
The people of India have a definite expectation from their work and they have a definite way of following it. Here one has to work 6 days a week unlike most of the foreign nations where weekends are off.
Here the timings are another factor that varies according to the jobs, their nature and requirements.
One utmost important fact is the role of the bureaucrats and politicians (Govt.).A good example can be seen in the recent withdrawal of TATA motors from the West Bengal. The company had moved there to contribute to the progress of the state and provide employment to the locals but the clash and bad politics did not let it thrive. So any outsider if coming to India for work or investment will rethink of the repercussions.
To work in the country one has to be acclimatized to the behavioral and cultural variations of the country.
Another issue in the country is the holidays in an annum, which cannot be ignored as cutting down upon them will be a lethal blow to the very roots of the diversity of the country. This factor although can make few negligent but it certainly strengthens the bond of the family and that in turn of the whole nation.
In India the people can be earning meagerly from their handicrafts, or be earning enviously through a software course but the country has a place and heart for both.
One saddening effect is the corruption that eats up the system like termites eat a wood block and in hindsight one feels that this either vents from the poverty or from the unhealthy competition to imitate the fortunate ones.
But another a rather shameful and important issue is the safety of women and their struggles in coping up with them. Here working women like in the profession of medicine etc.that seek duties at odd hours have definitely a cause to panic!
So India a country of diversity also can boast of diversities in the work culture and its related issues.

The article does not bring up anything new, while later paragraphs do get closer to discussing the core issue the article meanders without actually conveying its purpose clearly enough.
Here are 5 things that we liked or would change/revise:
1. Title: The title should be more enticing and less generic to draw the reader in.
2. Format: This piece needs some structuring. The transition from one paragraph to the next is pretty abrupt.
3. Grammar & Usage: A basic edit and proofreading would greatly improve the article. The language needs improvement. The usage of articles could be better. You may want to consider our Detailed Expert Review or editing options.
4. Language: Short, crisp sentences will create a better impact. Subheadings will improve readability and help streamline the article.
5. Target Audience: A crisp introduction is necessary to set the pace of the article and to grab the attention of the reader. The conclusion ideally, would need to incite the reader to think about related issues or help summarize what has been said in the article.
The article is not so incisive. I think we need to look at specific case studies. For example, recently I was horrified to learn about the HR practices and work culture in the Ashok Minda Group. The company is a automotive component manufacturer. The owner I learn is typical lala who runs his fiefdom like Hitler. The HR department sells only dreams. Many competent employees have been betrayed this group who were selectively targetted. Anyone can loose job anytime. Pls do a case study on this interesting company. I would look forward to it.
The content is good…well informed..but I am not agreed with the example of TATA Motors in West Bengal.You should know how much facilities the Govt. had provided to the company.Also, as an industrialist, TATA should look after the social responsibility of them.Land should not be forcibly taken.
