Mukul-da,
Thanks for the update. Thats was really funny but true -though an extreme
viewpoint -don't you think a billion strong India can spare a few million folks
(not even ten mil) to work and study abroad?

Secret Calculations are already done for them by clever Tamils.
We knew of BPT(bong,payan,tamil)phenomenon long back at iit!
Likes of Chidambaram and his Secret Agent Gurumurthy posing as concerned
NGO-"cpa" have been moulding "PolicyAlternatives" over the last 15
years-whereby:
_All talent India builds up -spending fortunes and years ,are meant to be
Export Commodities-Leaving India in the hands of debilitated'Rocket Scientists'
and Bank Clerks. These Talents-to-become are marinated to hate India from
start-Mandal or not.Indian Rupee loans-any amount- (like Car loans),Cheap Air
Tickets complete the story.Idea was -it will come back many fold. No
assessments are madeon that.
_Non-Talents who cannot be packed off are given SEZ's/BPOswhere they can toil
lifelong for their distant Masters.
_ And on a wholesale basis ,for those who have nothing beyond Matric. there is
the labour export to Middle East,Cruise Lines,ShipCrews,Drilling gangs,Iraq
Truckers....
-And for the Fair Sex-the ready Brides Market at
Hyderabad-Mumbai-Cochi.Destination-Riyadh-Dubai
Apart from these 4 there is the fringe diehard like Umesh Sharma who 'Must be
liberated' even if the homestead has to be mortgaged.
Assam ULFA talk possibility was stalled by that lobby's stringpulling-"What are
you trying to do-all will be lost.."
And India hopes to be a' DEVELOPED NATION BY 2020'!

Subject: [Assam] Secret Calculations of US Indian IT masters students
Hi,
Yesterday I had a chance of going out with a few maters grad students and
recent grads to see places in DC incl www.ssvt.org . One was a recent grad in
Journalism from Salt Lake City , Utah though hailing originally from Salt Lake
City, Kolkata, India!! Our discussions nearly gave me a sour throat -so much to
talk. He had worked at UNI, Delhi and was a graduate of India's premeir IIMC
(Indian Inst. of Mass Communication) and was a scholarship cum TA recepient.
Currently i DC looking for a job.
Others were all IT/Telecom grad students as are most of my new room/house
mates all from big Indian cities . I am surprised how much they can afford to
spend on branded clothes , even cars (under $1000) but I imagine that since
Delhi and Mumbai have land prices equal to those of DC or New York they can
afford it -- alongwith paying tuition in full (28,000 USD or Rs14 lakhs) -from
own pocket or Indian student loans - a regular thing for their city folks I am
told - esp for programs in IT/ Telecom. A large number have no work experience
- straight here after bachelors degree in India (mostly non-IITs, noon RECs)
CALCULATIONS: I am told that even from lower rung US Univs like www.gmu.edu
or www.umd.edu telecom and IT grads get average pay packets of $60,000 per year
(95% get jobs within one year of graduation - inlc work visa sponsors) However,
many students are so confident of getting jobs fast that intend to apply for
H1B work visas within 9 weeks of graduation (strange system of allowing
graduation in December - most univs inlc Harvard allow general graduation in
June/May). Students can work in US for a Year on OPT visa but many choose to
just work 3 months get a job and sponsor and apply for the ever-shrinking visa
rate.
Even if they have to go back to India - I am told they can expect pay packets
of Rs 3 lakh per year atleast ($6,000) for a start. As you know one can live
well on $2000 pa in India. Still they can pay of the student loan of $30,000 in
a few years.
Ofcourse IITians etc can expect scholarships for PhD - just after bachelors
-like the one I met at Stanford Univ inside a bus shuttle (
http://cs.stanford.edu/People/phd_students ) - a grad from IIT Mumbai in CS.
But there are a lot of Indian students who have found workable calculations to
pay for their US IT/Telecom education.
Any comments?
