Some Indians Find It Tough to Go Home Again

None of these articles even attempt to mention culture and upbringing, which plays an immense role. For example, the person in the article came to the US when he was 7. He is most likely very much Americanized and would feel a foreigner in India, whereas 20-something Indians that come to the US to do their masters/PhD probably can't wait to get back, where they can feel at right at home.

Did you read the article? That was the whole point of the article.

For example: Returnees run into trouble when they “look Indian but think American,”

It was specifically talking about people who had spent lots of time outside of India (if not their entire lives) before going (back) to India. It was not referring to people that had just gone to grad school abroad then went right back.

Even though its about going back, in this case, its about how the feudal structure hinders the real growth. What good is to have good minds and not put them to use?

The article isn't about going back. It's about the feudal culture in corporate india, and the way the feudal structure jeopardizes the future of the country.
