I am not sure if this argument holds water anymore.
When ITTians or others work overseas (after acquiring a great education in India), they make possible, things like:
Other countries realize how bright these IITians and Indians in general are.
Many IITians (and others) are in very high positions in corporate America. They often do formulate policies that help investment in India.
Many of these (brain-drainers) have also invested heavily in India.
Further, most NRIs do send $ regularly to relatives in India. Individually they may not seem much, but foreign exchange reserves in India are very high because of factors like this.
I would say in the long run, India as a whole benefits.

I find this difficult to believe. The rapid surge/advancement in India's IT sector and how the world is dependent on India for its IT needs was due in great part of the active cooperation of NRIs (specially IITians and Indian owned businesses).
I would say India's huge investment in educating them has finally started to payoff.
