The problem isn't that Indian developers aren't as good as Western developers, it's that competent engineers tend to emigrate to wealthier countries.
Approx 15,000 Indian-born IT professionals migrate to Australia each year [1], and there are around 300,000 Indian H1B visa holders (of any profession) in the USA [2]. I don't see this changing any time soon.
