US vs India on Education Objectivity vs Patriotism. Review on Studying in India Vs. Studying Abroad

When asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated, Aristotle answered, 'As much as the living are to the dead.' ** This explains the importance of education not just in this era but also in epochs to come by. High percentage of the American population comprise of Indians and Chinese. This review is about why should an Indian prefer an education abroad rather than doing it in his own backyard?   For a born Indian, most part of his schooling and college happens in India only.
