#2...and the coming rise of Indian entrepreneurship.
People are often too quick to cry racism, but I really think that's the only explanation for all these "India isn't a problem" stories.
Most Indian engineers are Java drones, but guess what... most American programmers are Java drones. And yeah, there's a new generation that's prosperous on relatively less effort, but have you taken a look at Silicon Valley lately?
Unless you believe that the American innovation engine is also slowing, you don't have a lot of reasons to believe that we won't see more and more innovation coming out of India. In fact, if there's a crash in outsourcing, it might accelerate that process (or simply shift the outsourcing market to target Europe).

This is a matter of culture, not race. Is culturism bad these days?

You mean like without offering any evidence for their claims?
I thought the article was superb, well reasoned on its key point of cost inflation in the industry, and thoroughly devoid of sordid prejudice.
Your reference to Indian entrepreneurship is a little ironic since the author (whose name is a Sanskrit word) has herself founded and sold two companies [1], and appears to have a particular interest in... Indian entrepreneurs [2].

That would be difficult. As bad as Indian infrastructure may be, most African countries are far worse.
