According to the 2011 Census of India, approximately 10.6% of the population reported speaking English as a first, second, or third language, totaling around 129 million individuals.
After speaking English with dozens of people in Eastern Europe where we traveled several months, I was surprised about how few people spoke English in Kerala, India, where we lived for several weeks. I think many people get that cultural fact backswords.
Can anybody name one H-1B Indian worker in technology whose talent is so exceptional that they are irreplaceable by any American?
Serious question...
ALL of them, if you ask the Indians themselves.
The most arrogant people on the planet.
Other than one or two Froctors pushing the clot shots.
IRL, most of the companies that are heavily into H1-B's think of software developers (at least) as interchangeable parts, and don't recognize the concept of "exceptional talent," except maybe on their sales and marketing team.
