I personally know someone who was sent by his parents to India to learn Indian
values -at age 13 and first thing he learnt while staying with his uncle's
family - was to start smoking - a habit which now costs him job since he cannot
keep away from smoking even without break time.
No wonder that the familycame back to US before he became 18 -so that he need
not forgo US citizenship. It is possible that many Indian Americans take kids
'home'- in high school and bring them back to US for college (before they are
18 - now I hear rule allows kids upto age 21) . I have a Harvard batchmate who
did high schol in Chennai India -after being born and raised in US - and came
back with parents for college at Columbia Univ, NYC.

generations (age 30-40) are coming back and also i meet so many people in delhi
who returned and their main reason is that they want their kids to learn indian
values and remain in indian culture and ofcourse they are getting good salary
in India

You are surely mistaken about Indians returning to India due to cultural
aspects. It is true a lot of first generation Indians may be nostalgic about
not being able to attend weddings and funerals and other festivities of their
near and dear ones - with whom they grew up - in India. But second generation
Indian Americans are very much at home in US or UK or wherever they grew up --
just like village immigranst childrens growing up in Indian metros.
Moreover, an increasing number of Indian immigrants are more used to Western
mores than are used to traditional Indian arranged wedding and joint family
system.
See this movie - whose script was considered orginal creative work by Oscar
awarding body to be displayed in their library
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salaam_Namaste
this movie is about an increasing trend - Indian (boy-girl ) couples living
together in the same room- like atleast five-ten in my apartment complex
itself. Unlike the movie however, it is not clear about how many are actually
living as unmarried couples (in every sense of the word) --it makes you doubt
the extent of their emotions then :-)
Nonetheless they are all quite happy and outward, positive looking.

Or is it really due to this:
<Since the beginning of summer, the number of calls has nearly doubled, to a
hundred or so per day -- the most ever, except after hurricanes.
When the construction industry was first slowing, much of the demand for
social services came from Latino immigrants, laborers who found themselves
without an income. Lately, however, "it's everybody," Fuelcher said. "It runs
the gamut of economic status."
That has made hiring easy at some stores. When times were good, Baer's
Furniture could not find enough staffers. When the retailer recently posted
openings for two sales people, it got 170 applicants.
There are signs that these problems are seeping into many regions of the
country. Job growth was halted in August as the nation shed 4,000 jobs,
stunning economists who had not thought that the housing bust would so
dramatically affect hiring.>---- (Today's Washington Post)

Indian IT professionals in US return home
September 11, 2007 11:24 IST
With India becoming a favoured destination of several multi-national
companies, thousands of Indian IT professionals in the United States are
returning to their homeland with good pay packets, according to a survey.
The survey conducted by Indus Entrepreneurs, an association of Indian IT
professionals settled in the US, found that around 60,000 professionals have
returned to India in recent years, Michael M Bala, Business Head of recruitment
portal clickjobs.com, said.
Several couples in age group of 27 to 35 were looking forward to come back to
India, he said, quoting the survey.
"Most young Indian couples preferred to return to India to protect their kids
from the Western culture and to educate them in Indian atmosphere," he said.
Infrastructure development and job opportunities at the more or less same
salary in India were cited as the factors behind the trend.
Bala, who recently conducted a job fair in New Jersey to recruit personnel for
multi-national companies, said more and more Indians were coming forward to
return to their motherland with the country becoming favoured destination of
several MNCs, financial institutions and IT companies.
"The growth of these institutions in India have thrown open the doors to
talented people, who had so for thought that the West was their only resort,"
he said.
In the recently held job fair, over 3,000 people, mostly couples, had come
forward to attend interviews for companies like Yahoo, Canon, IBM and HP, he
said.
Encouraged by this, the portal would be conducting another fair in the US
within six months, he said.
