Engineers that the Indian Engineering schools produce. I had read a report in the
Times of India a few months back, that said that India had thousands of unemployed
Engineers. The report had mentioned that India had a surplus of 55,000 from a shortfall
of 27,000, just a year earlier. Here is the article..

I have come across some really talented Engineeres and Software professionals
who have had to return to India, due to the downturn in the US economy. They are
being recruited quite easily by the subsidiaries of American companies in India, and
especially in Bangalore.
Well, although in essence it is fair to say that folks leaving the shores should pay for the
subsidised schooling they have received in India, each individual does contribute to India's
economy directly or indirectly. A few thousand dollars every year, go a long way in contributing
to India's foreign exchange. It would be wrong to say that every Engineer that the Indian
Engineering schools including IITs produce, is successful in the US. The world's top notch
brains come to the US and the competition is quite stiff. One only hears about the success
stories, but there will be many more that don't succeed as well. The world is really becoming
smaller, with the advancement in technology. and if there are incentives enough, I am sure
that Indians will not want to leave their homeland.

Fred makes an excellent point. India has lost tremendously because of the brain-drain. It is a
fairness issue: why should Indian taxpayers subsidize the US economy? A poor rebuttal is that
US-based Indian engineers give back to their alumni (IIT) or start companies in India with US
technology. But that is not an even exchange. Not even close. Even if it was close, why should
the Indian taxpayer be made to front the money for such a "global" transaction?
