It is due to colonialism. Many Indians left as indentured labor, few returned. The Chinese had a similar situation till recently, till China became an economic powerhouse. Then expatriates started to return.
It is in the interest of Angloworld to prevent this happening in India.

In developed countries, that’s to say economically secure countries, people have assets like houses, fixed investments, friends, business networks etc that extract a cost when people seek to relocate. In colonized or economically subservient countries, there will be no such ties.
India being an economically subservient country, with its entire elite education system in English, is working very well for two sets of people:
1) The Anglophone countries that secure a vast pool of skilled labor, at relatively low cost.
2) The Anglophone elite within India.
1) The Anglophone countries that secure a vast pool of skilled labor, at relatively low cost.
2) The Anglophone elite within India.
As long as these two sets of interest groups have their way, India will continue to be a subservient nation. The living standards within its cities will intentionally be kept substandard. The opportunities to succeed will intentionally be made harder. It can go on endlessly.
