Where as a programmer can be located in any part of the world. In places where the cost of living is very low therefore they can do the same job for 1/4 the price of someone in the US and live 10x better.
It depends on the job. If you're just looking for script kiddie shit that the average 13yo can do, then yeah, Indians are great. Modify Wordpress, create a specialized contact form, proxy verification script, or whatever. They're great for that, and might as well use them, because they're cheaper.

Send specs to an Indian for a large-scale 200 hour dating site project though, and see how well they fare. Guaranteed it would turn into a disaster. And if that's your bread & butter, you probably don't want to fuck around with $12/hour Indians.
