Note that it's extremely difficult for a non-Indian to work in India. "Business visit" for 60 days a year, yes, but work?

I agree and its wrong. India should have a path to allow for long periods of staying and working in the country and provide for a valid path towards citizenship. Thats the only way India can be a country that can attract and retain smart global talent to enable its companies compete globally.

For an IT worker it's not that hard. The main conditions are being paid a minimum amount (it's about 15 lac/year, last I heard), registering with the police every 180 days, and other details like that.

The 15 lac/year requirement doesn't even apply to ethnic chefs and language teachers.

Ah, the thing I'm remembering is the Economist noting that there's no path to citizenship. Every H1B my companies have ever employed became a citizen of the US.

("15 lac" is 15 lakh is 1.5 million rupees, which is around $22,500 at the moment.)
