India does produce quite a few programmers and they are proficient in writing code and software maintenance. These are the types that Microsoft and others recruit in India for their Indian enterprises. The ones that get here on H1B's are usually poorly educated in fundamentals from what i have seen. We deal with very many in our customer base. Some 'mechanical engineers' cannot differentiate psi and bar.

News to me.
I remember as far back as the seventies scientists and engineers from India,
especially those from the Imperial College of India were highly prized by
Bell Labs.
Four years ago a report from MANUFACTURING & TECHNOLOGY NEWS:
http://www.manufacturingnews.com/new...urcing111.html
From the report: The off shore outsourcing industry in India is generating $62 billion a year in revenue up from $4 billion in year 2000..........branching out of IT services and into aerospace design, retail pharmaceuticals R&D, legal and banking systems and systems integration of the US manufacturing sector.
