This Bill, which proposes to impose 25 percent tax on US companies for outsourcing work, would create problems for the US business also.Outsourcing is driven by wage arbitrage.Besides, since the US is home to some of the giant companies in the world, it might face domestic talent deficit.Whether this has been accounted for while making this Bill is debatable given Trump’s weaponisation of tariffs. However, Indian companies should take it as a timely call for re-engineering their production and service aimed at higher quality at lower cost, market expansion strategy and mastering AI with job redesign.YG ChoukseyPuneUnpredictable TrumpThis refers to ‘India, US continuing negotiations to address trade barriers: Trump’ (September 10). Trump has signalled a thaw in the bilateral chill between India and the US and he also looks forward to speaking with his ‘very good friend’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the coming weeks amid continuing trade talks.But should Trump be taken seriously, given the tariffs and punitive measures imposed on India? His continuous flip-flops on policy matters are not making matters easy.However, it is genuinely wished that he fulfills his latest commitment to PM Modi.Kumar GuptPanchkula (Haryana)Women in dairyingThis refers to the article ‘Uplift women in dairying’ (September 10). The dairy sector is the second backbone of our rural economy, the first being agriculture. India is fighting against western countries in not giving access or opening to the country’s dairy sector to outsiders.Millions of rural folk engage in dairying activity, silently contributing their share towards growth of the sector, which goes unnoticed. This sector is beset with unpaid work by family members.Apart from imparting training on improving entrepreneurial skills and in upskilling of women, necessary financial support in buying electrical milking kits, erecting hygienic shelters for housing the milch animals and growing of nutrients rich plants and grass need to be prioritised. Agricultural Extension Officers of public sector banks and the Block level Development Officers at Panchayat and Tehsil levels have a greater role to play in identifying the credit needs to empower women in this sector.RV BaskaranPunePublished on September 10, 2025Sign into Unlock benefits!Access 10 free stories per monthAccess to comment on every storySign up/Manage to our newslettersGet notified by email for early preview to new features, discounts & offers${ ind + 1 } ${ device }Last active - ${ la }
