In most of the world, there are a few paths from being a programmer:
architect
manager
business analyst
(atleast in service companies )

Top Indian IT service companies have more than 1 lakh employees.
So you can imagine the number of IT professionals which i believe is not the case in the western world.Also, since many IT service companies rely mostly on client's budget and profit factors,there is no other alternative for this. Typically, in a development project here in India, it would be a team of 5 people with 3 being freshers.So, the onus is on the experienced people to train the freshers and also complete the project on time which invariably leads to increased stress levels and long working hours. I also agree that people in US,UK etc would like to be passionate programmers for some 20 years and more. But, its not possible here (atleast in service companies )Also there is the social status factor here. Many people/friends/family members would love us to become team leads/project managers some 6 or 8 years down the lane.Nobody knows the value of being a Technical Architect or Solution Architect. Also there is very little scope for people to grow technically in service companies.But, i believe thats not the case over there.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

How true...I was really wondering why there can be no unions for IT industry....The other sectors especially those in public sector have got the unions which fights for employees (well atleast in theory and most do). In IT every employee is on his own..If he has any problem, quitting is the only solution..because the moment the management sees that you are grouping people they give a red sign to you...Acknowledging that no one stops any one from leaving the company, I also wish we had some one speaks for us..And yes, I never knew if there was a union for IT employees..

Unions usually apply to unskilled labor where individual contribution and innovation are not in the picture. When a project is in soup you have no other option than to work late and get it done. If a person is working late everyday then something is wrong with that person or the company. Either the employee is being overworked or need to update his/her skills and productivity. The other reason which is an exception is a startup. Startups need to work harder to get a product up and running.
Unions in the IT industry are counter productive. Personally I find the very mention of 'union' and 'IT' mentioned in the same sentence laughable.
I think you were glamorized by the glorified use of union in the old Indian terminology pertaining to factories...
innovation and stress are part of the life of IT/BPO professionals
If a person is working late every day then the recruitment agency (or company) failed to identify the correct employee with the caliber to do the work at hand
even in many countries there are specific rules for them
I don't think a movement to better the conditions of IT/BPO professionals in India a laughable matter
