Ive been working as a programmer in India for the past 5 years now. Trust me the work that Indians do is mind numbingly boring. Stuff that no self respecting programmer would call 'programming' in the first place.
The reason why such projects get outsourced in the first place is bcos companies realise its not rocket science and as its similar to giving monkeys instructions, better outsource it to a country that expects peanuts in return.
There is not one single major multinational that does not have a tech office in India today. Everyone's here, but you'll be appalled to see the kind of work that is done here. Its quite apparant that the best work is done in your own country.
I can give examples - IBM (hires close to 10,000 in India) shittiest of work, high attrition rates, you name it.
Microsoft - Huge office in Hyderabad, all the work is nothing but testing and very very very lil of actual product development.
Oracle - Again hires around 3000 in India - bullshit work.
I can name a lot many, but the essence of what im saying is, outsourcing is not affecting the brainiacs of your country. Stop whining and update your skills. Become smarter. Do something about your loss of jobs.
Programming in India is akin to flippin burgers. get it now ??.
