A lot of this argument seems to rest on this premise...

"Good coding skills (the ability to write functionally correct code) are possessed by 4.6% of Indian job applicants, 2.1% of Chinese candidates and 18.8% of the US candidates in the IT and software industries"

A wrong premise based on Aspiring Minds fraudulent studies.

Aspiring Minds is an Indian company that sells buggy web-based pre-interview filtering tests as a service. It is in Aspiring Minds interest to portray (Indian) college graduates as incompetent to make companies buy their pre-interview filtering services.

Based on the US candidates that have come across my desk, I'd agree with that!
