Polka--not sure what rankings you are referring to, but The London Times had the following world rankings for Engineering
University of Texas 13
University of Michigan 14
India had none in the top 50
This seems to go against your statement of "Every country will have some which are better than the ones mentioned. Being an Indian I can guarantee these names For Engineering related Studies-IIT"
In case you call the Times biased in favor of the West, the highly respected Shanghai system ranked the top two Indian Universities in the 300-400 category and the 400-500th category. Admittedly, the Shanghai system weights science more heavily than the humanities. In very sharp contrast (using the examples I gave): Florida 42, Texas 29 and Michigan at 18. Perhaps this is why so many Asians are studying in the US and so few Americans elect to study in Asian universities for advanced degrees. It might also explain why Education City is composed primarily of American branch campuses rather than Asian ones.
BTW Oxford and Cambridge came it at 10 and 5.
I have no doubt that the universities you mentioned have some admirable qualities, but forgive me if I don't accept your "guarantee" about them being superior.
Perhaps this is the sort of shoddy workmanship that PeterGriffin was referring to when he made his comments. I don't work in his field, but I can certainly sympathize now. I can also see why you are so bitter about the salary gap. If I thought someone with the equivalent degree was being paid more, I'd be agitated too, but it seems the degrees are not so equivalent and that at least some of your bitterness is founded on misinformation.
