I guess I don't quite understand your point. I don't see what's wrong with what Yaacov said.

Indian programmers are underpaid, by our standards. But so are Filipino programmers; they may be even _more_ underpaid, and if they're not then they're probably not going to be a threat to the Indians.

Yes, India has a thriving tech sector with many underpaid workers. Does this mean they deserve a monopoly on tech education in the region somehow?

Of course you and the OP are right: North American firms might take advantage of India's neighbours and offsource labour from India to cheaper places. But I don't see how that can be regarded as unjustifiable, if the initial offsourcing from the North America/Europe to India is accepted as justifiable.
