There are many reasons why jobs are outsourced to India. It is indeed true that the NRIs have created
an impression about what good work we can do, so the MNCs have come to India because they will get the same quality labour. But mainly because the labour here is very cheap. To pay an engineer in the US, it costs about 70,000 dollars a year, but it takes about five lakhs Indian rupees to get it done in India. Afterall, all companies look forward to making profit and if the Indian Govt is allowing MNCs, it is better to reap this profit. The second reason is that these countries have reduced the number of immigrants and foreign workers in their country because of security problem, etc.

What kind of brain drain you are talking about? That is a wrong
term! Not all the IIT graduates come out of the country. Only a portion come
out and that is not bad I guess. That way they are marketing
Indian Brains to the world. And that is why we have millions of
jobs outsourced to India. If we look at the trend in job
outsourcing from US then we can see that most of the jobs are
outsourced to India and China and these two countries have the
maximum number of immigrants ( or potential immigrants) in US. So they
are contributing to the Indian economy in an indirect way ( not mentioning
about the recent investments in India by these people ).

Again I cannot agree with this one. I will say wastage when you
produce hundreds of degree holders without even a little knowledge
about what they studied and where are they going to use their
knowledge they acquired ( if any ). To be frank I don't see any reason
why we should have hundreds of arts postgraduates coming out of the
universities every year. I know couple of guys who went to ITI
after they finished their masters. That is called wastage of money!
What do you think?
