Indian Professionals in the US ought to repay India the true cost of their Indian education.

Indian professionals in the US ought to at least repay the US Cost of the Free Education Gotten in India. 

Indian professionals who migrated to the US, as well as other parts of the World, owe their success in large part to the education they got in India which was heavily subsidized by government funding.
At a minimum, in the interest of fairness to the hundreds of millions of Indians who were not as fortunate, the migrating professionals owe India, through donations in kind or in time to Indian philanthropies, the cost of getting the same education in the US.
By this measure, a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology would need to give back to India at least $200,000, the cost of getting an engineering degree in the US. If they are also graduates of the Indian Institutes of Management then an additional $100,000 would be owed to Indian philanthropies, the cost of an MBA education in the US.
