But, the Indians work and study harder. In fact, many of the Indian schools are better than US schools. Guess what? The Indians study management too. I think it’s time to hire Indian execs at 1/4 of the rate of pay of American execs.

From a programmer's point of view, I work with lots of Indians and let me tell you, you're full of it. Indian programmers are NO BETTER than their American counterparts and the language barrier makes them worse.

Ok, try to put your emotions aside and follow along. I’m a DBA by the way, and there is no speciality that has more Indians than DBA.
Anyway, the argument that management uses is that Indians are smarter and harder working. The fact that Indians are cheaper is generally glossed over by the suits. So, I’m using their own argument to ask why Indians aren’t hired for management. It loses something to say, they’re not as good, not as well trained, but they are cheaper.

I know it’s a hot button, but you’re programmers for crying out loud. Logic is your profession.
