I work with a lot of programmers from India. Some are sharp as razors, some not. Some work for my employer, some work for vendors. The fundamental problem I see are that the ones that work for vendors (and this applies to non-Indians as well), by nature, are more interested in making their employer happy than mine. Beating deadlines to maximize profit makes their employer happy, producing quality applications that require minimal rework and are stable and maintainable make my employer happy.

Most of the Indian guys I know are just trying to make a better life for themselves, they can hardly be blamed for that.
