Its not about free trade but its about fair trade. The US IT worker incurred local US cost in terms of housing, accomodation, medical and etc. Where else the Indian IT worker will accmulate enough money to spend it back home. The US IT worker do not have this privilege and thus need to charge at local rate. To be fair India and US should open up all sector and allow free flow of all types of trade, this will include the right to reside in both country. This way every person in both country can compete on equal footing.
