What should every Indian know about IIT
You and I pay taxes
Using that tax government provides subsidy to IIT students
IIT students fly to USA and most of them work and settle there
In short Our taxes are used to contribute brightest of the brains to USA
PS Some may argue by quoting examples of Narayanamurthy Kejriwal etc But understand that those are just a handful of them The majority of them do not contribute anything for the country that provided them education in IITs
