This is silly, what does anyone owe a country? With few changes a letter like this could implore Americans to serve their country by joining the military. Governments compete and economies compete for smart people, apparently India isn't attractive to many of IITs graduates. I think that is India's problem, not the graduates'.

See it from a perspective of somebody dying next door,you just leave because you get better job somewhere else. India's problem is 700 Million people are fighting to survive.Its insane, the best brains leave the country and the looters loot as much as they want, its the brain drain causing so much damage.Imagine a family left to die for itself because all the family worked hard to get their son engineer,now the engineer turns around and says thank you.I got to go, I cant provide for the family,I have to live my life. I will say open letter to all the ivy league univ's come solve world problems because you claim you are the best. Dont turn around and say its government problem. This world needs a better human race with conciousness, there are over a billion people without food n water. Most of the point the author is trying to drive that point not nationalist idealogy.

  Why does the IIT grad something more than any other human?

    They are not better than any other human, but tend get more opportunities to make difference than normal grads, but they just shoe them away.

"India has more than 50% of population below the age of 25 and more than 65% hovers below the age of 35. It is expected that, in 2020, the average age of an Indian will be 29 years." The graduates are India.

Try it this way - your suggestion is a variant of winner takes all. So for example if someone said that "its a problem of the science field that mathematicians and physicists are going into hedge funds" we would have to live with whatever outcome is being achieved. Speaking from a sheer utility point of view, this is not a best case scenario. From a Libertarian view, people are following incentives and making their choices, but its obvious an imbalance is being created. This imbalance may be unglamarous and solutions to it non-fundable, but it is one that MUST be addressed.

Well, Indian Tax dollars do pay for the heavily subsidized education in IIT's. So it's definitely India's problem.
