While this isn't exactly the same as modern slavery (aka indentured servitude), there are enough parallels to make me very angry at this contract. I will personally be avoiding your employer (infosys according to another comment) in the future, and would encourage others to do the same. A friend pointed out a similar circumstance which is pretty common in the UK and the US, where a company pays for your formal education (perhaps a PhD), and as a result you work for the for some set length afterwards. This is much more acceptable - if you didn't work for them you would be paying back a modest sum which was used for your own education, not the "huge compensation" you describe.
